well yesterday it failed again, on a couple of minor things.
cv boot on the drive shaft, gaiter on the steering rack, hazard switch, incorrect light, and rear hand brake.
advisories were, brake pipes and a coolant leak again also bottom ball joint split.
yesterday and today I started to iron out those faults.
I ordered off a second hand drive shaft as its quicker and less of a f*ck on with the cv boot, also ordered off a bottom ball joint,
So that takes care of the two major bits, I have a spare gaiter that the mot tester gave me.
The incorrect light, well last year, I bought two new front lights for the old body as they were getting a little tired.
when I dismantled that car I transferred them over, to this car. But when the mot tester came to set the beam again, he found that it wouldn't set right, Fuckin rimmer bros sold me a left hand drive lamp didn't they! Only found that out due to the glass! So I just put the old unit back in I had off this body and swopped the bulbs over.
so that was another mot failure fixed,
coolant problem, ffs!
Had this problem before with a clip acting the goat, which was here
one of these pipes have been acting the goat, plus air still in the system.
So I added extra clips, to see if that sorts the problem out, all seemed well after that, as I left it to tick over.
Today fun part! centre console!
notice further up in the post where the hazard switch is, at the min, looks well ugly at the min doesn't it.
This morning, I un screwed the front end of it, so it looked a bit like this.
Then me and my mum spent about 2 hours, working on it. To end up with this!
the hazard switch in its OEM surrounding that's now been mounted in place and glued in, That takes care of the hazard switch.
the three gauges, just need rewiring in place and checking again. We worked the pod to get sorted, that's now glued in place.
adjusted and in place
finished job
While I was sorting that out, I gave the car another tick over to see if the coolant problem, came back and so far all is well under the bonnet and in the car! The cab heated up just as quick as the 306 does!
the waterless coolant really does the job! engine runs more happy now too.
Just a matter of the bits coming and doing the handbrake, ( adjusting it again) and it will be back on the road, ready for the gaydon car show!
