So, we've had it a day, just about, last thing Kirsty said to me this afternoon as I dropped her off was, 'Look after Barry, and make sure you sort the clutch, put new pedals on, and new mats in'. She's not demanding! Don't ask about the car being given a male name, I just don't understand it! As far as I'm concerned vehicles, like locomotives and ships are female and always will be, but apparently Kirsty doesn't agree!
So the plans for before the MOT are:
New Cambelt and water pump + idlers (last changed at dealer in 2008, c130000 miles)
Full Major service (air, oil, fuel and pollen filters, oil)
Aux belt and idlers maybe if they're diagnosed as the cause of the squeak,
Front discs and pads (advisory on last MOT)
Three pedal rubbers,
New fitted floor mats, would consider ten ones if they're available but probably eBay specials,
sort front indicators,
sort boot light,
sort rear no plate light,
lubricate/replace clutch cable,
New Rad Cap (old one comes out in several separate parts),
Sort C/L issues,
Possible other things to sort,
Remote fobs if possible, doesn't have any at the moment but seems to have the receiver by the dome light and has two key blades for them,
Mate might have a 5 door Ph3 Meridian interior maybe, if it will fit,
Sort radio, ideally would like cd at least and I'm not keen on aftermarket stereos so preferably OEM,
I'm sure I'll find or think of more as I go through it but that seems a good start
What do you lot suggest?
Richard
