RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 24-05-2014 Something was off...as its been fine for last 400miles. Spot on. Bit worried its lying as I may not know whats going on. Guna do a flush and see what happens. Re: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - kentiiboii - 25-05-2014 Try bypassing thermostat see if its that? If not it'll help till you find the problem. I hope you do before something major happens as I remember trouble with hg when you first put the car on road. RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 25-05-2014 I LOVE my car. Wife is ill so I took the girlfriend for a blast to Haynes of Challow...not been there before...about 45min of great B roads away... Was a cracking drive....she was a dream, lots of boost, no issues and loads of sweet corners! Good to find lots of 306, 106, 205s and a couple of 2.1s aswell. Decent priced too. So got me a new aerial as mine snapped....and... [attachment=16457] Nice new undamaged sump! Note the baffle in it Got some bits ordered too...oil and coolant flushes. A different, better quality thermostat, and some fresh coolant. RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Niall - 25-05-2014 I wouldn't bother with oil flush mate. If you want to flush it, run it for 20-50 miles with cheap oil then get something decent in there RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Chris_90 - 25-05-2014 (25-05-2014, 04:12 PM)Piggy Wrote: Wife is ill so I took the girlfriend for a blast to Haynes of Challow So you have a wife and a girlfriend how's that working guessing they don't no about each other? RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 25-05-2014 Girlfriend is the car...I try and keep the affair quiet!! I'm trying a new product for the oil flush...bit of a tester RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 27-05-2014 Hmmmm...interesting evening so far... [attachment=16479] RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Frosty - 27-05-2014 That's a bit extreme for just an oil change RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Dum-Dum - 28-05-2014 And what is so interesting? RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 28-05-2014 Was a bit... [attachment=16486] [attachment=16487] All coz I didnt spot this when rebuilding it... [attachment=16488] So Im doing the DRL fogs, resealing the headlights, replacing wing and try n get all the panel lines to match next. And give it all a good clean! New shorter aerial too as the original snapped Made my own pipe up for crank breather too, it been leaking and they go so brittle Thats a replacement sump by the way!! Also did a temp gauge test, works spot on, also the sensor seems to be reading right, guna do a bench test on a spare and see what I get RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Dum-Dum - 28-05-2014 Oh you remind me I need to order a crank breather as mine leaks too. RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 28-05-2014 Yeah they suck...go sooo brittle its mad. Absolute pig to get to aswell RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Dum-Dum - 28-05-2014 Yeah tell me about that. 1192K8 and about £23 before discount RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 28-05-2014 Tiz why I heated up some hose and made me own RE: 2.1 GTd...and her summer look - Piggy - 31-05-2014 So went about putting panels back on today. Did a few things in process: Rewired the rad fans...best not admit why Resealed headlights due to fogging Painted and repaired fogs, modded for DRLs Painted n trimmed grill Wired in DRL/foglight system Repaired washer bottle leak Fitted less dented drivers wing Spent what like felt forever trying to get all panel gaps evenish! Result: [attachment=16532] [attachment=16533] Much more of a white light in the flesh. Most happy Im in two minds about this bodywork. A lot of panels dont quite match. Both bumpers need replacing/repainting. A number of dents need PDR One on the offside rear quarter needs filling and painting. I dont know wether to just not care, clean and polish it and live with it OR Find mint panels where I can, bumper, bonnet, wings that match, doors etc and do the PDR meself as best I can and repair OR Get it all repaired and a blow over top coat done OR Get dents removed and get it vinyl wrapped ....or find a mint shell at some point :S 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Kwik - 31-05-2014 That looks mint tbh. Mad question though did the bumper have to be off to do fogs? RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Piggy - 31-05-2014 Yeah I took it off as I had to anyhow... I think the fogs could be removed without it...but proper fiddly 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Kwik - 31-05-2014 Thanks for that I have to either redo mine or get new ones but if I have to take of bumper they can wait lol RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Piggy - 31-05-2014 Theres three bolts, if its all in tact. Top two are on slots, so they only need to be undone by a turn or two. Bottom one needs to be completely removed. Then it wiggles out. 8mm head for them all RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Dum-Dum - 31-05-2014 Getting matching panels will be a PITA as there was a few shades of moonstone and they'll all of faded differently due to where they are parked or how they are looked after. I'd be looking for a mint shell or saving for a respray. Gotta say I'd love to reshell mine into something else at some point as my shell is tatty as f*ck RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Piggy - 31-05-2014 When I swapped my aerials I found my issue.... [attachment=16538] Very much faded... So any panels I put on I have found to be a much deeper, nicer colour. V annoying RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Jimbo - 01-06-2014 I have a similar issue with some of my panels I've fitted, looks fine in some light and crap in others! I try not to care but it does bug me RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - puglove - 01-06-2014 needs a good deep machine polish James !! RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Piggy - 01-06-2014 (01-06-2014, 08:57 AM)puglove Wrote: needs a good deep machine polish James !! Yeah it does for sure...you offering??? I have been considering buying some kit though RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Curt - 01-06-2014 Give it a proper detail and get a mop on it. RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Piggy - 01-06-2014 Started to do a major clean....done all the door shurs, taking all the rubbers off. Cleaned and hoovered and wet vac'd the interior and mats. Cleaned intercooler and radiator and engine bay, underbonnet etc... [attachment=16562] [attachment=16563] And a before and after of the worst mat...drivers obviously... [attachment=16564] [attachment=16565] RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Paul_13 - 01-06-2014 That's a cracking scrap yard. You don't find them like that any more RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - procta - 01-06-2014 piggy the car looks proper mustard! love the after market gauge setup in the dash, you have gave me a few ideas about a rework of my console in the new metro, I may ask if you flock that for me if I do the tweaking. keep at it pal and it will really pull further on, like it has! RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Piggy - 01-06-2014 Im in. And knackered. Too dark n too tired to polish n wax. But its had full de-tar, wash (megs, micromit with double bucket), rinse, megs claybar, rinse, wash again. Chamois. Not cleaned a car so thoroughly for YEARS!! Its made my mind up. Save me money on respray/wrap...may look out for better bonnet n bumpers, but I think the paint will come up real nice with a polish. Cleaned under arches, under boot and brake calipers too Gave the exhaust a quick polish though...forgot it was shiney!! [attachment=16566] [attachment=16567] RE: 2.1 GTd...and her DRLs! - Dum-Dum - 01-06-2014 That really is stunning mate. I wish I could get myself to that stage with my car. |
