Toms306s "Bit Of A 'State"

[Toms306]

Well, loads of stuff done today!

First was the rear wiper as I was fed up not being able to see!

Halfords don't list one.....no really, I'm not just blind!



So got a 12" at a guess, bit big but does the job and was only £2 on trade.




Next job was the RCL fob - new battery for it and.......................it still doesn't work, tried the re-sync thing but it didnt work, sigh, damn pugs and their niggly faults!




Next was the stereo, it was difficult to use being Kenwood and the radio completely went this morning, not a problem as I used the JVC from the Golf. So, before -



While there, noticed how Pug got Stevie wonder to cut the hole for the recirc button -



And then found the reason the radio didn't work! This is why I hate buying non standard cars, people always bodge and f*ck things up!



Tried to bodge it into my good stereo but I think the next bump I go over will lose it again, bloody previous owners!



And the stock speakers are shit, but had been changed before seeing as the door cards were butchered, so I stuck some spare Infinitys in for now, much better!

Next job on the list was to read the fault codes and remove the EML,



Codes found were -

PO335 - crank position sensor circuit malfunction
PO906 - gate select position circuit low
PO560 - system voltage malfunction

But are still there despite clearing them twice!

Thought the 2nd 2 were to do with the lose negative terminal on the battery so replaced that, much tighter now and the dash doesnt dim when revving, but codes still present!



Also noticed 3 of the 4 engine cover clips have disappeared in the ~70 miles Ive had the car, well theyre a great design then!



Also noticed the chunk of aux belt missing........squeals like a bitch when cold too.



Oh and if you were wondering, the brakes still haven't got better either, new rear pads and discs needed I reckon.

More pics to follow shortly, forum wont let me put too many in at once.

Cont'd -

Bish, bash.....yep you guessed it, Bosch Aerotwins. Yay, silent wipers that actually clean water from the screen!



But then couldn't leave the dirt any longer...I don't like dirt!

Before -







Even found a sim card lol -




So gave the inside a good hoover, then cleaned all the rank bits with a pack of cheap baby wipes lol, then interior polish and ofcourse a magic tree.
