Chris's HDi D Turbo

[C.A.R.]

Bit more work this weekend.

Foglight glass was broken when I bought the car. No problem I thought, that's easy to replace.

What a ballache. The glass only cost me £5.00 from Carl Chambers, but fitting it requires taking the bumper off. Which is a right faff.

All done now though and didn't take any pictures of the process.

Now, with that done I was going to investigate the rear shocks. This meant loosening the wheel bolts.



You c*nt. You absolute arsehole piece of metal. So that put paid to progress on investigating the rear shocks.

So then I moved on to doing the front wheel arch liner on the passenger side, which had been half ripped-off by the previous owner.

This was actually an easy job and it even gave me time to have a brew.



Then my attention turned to sorting out the passenger side window. How the juddering f*ck do the windows work? Well the easiest way to work this out is obviously to take apart the one window which does work - on the drivers side of the car.

Now whoever said these were repairable without removing the door panel was having a giraffe. When the glass falls out of the rear clip (which breaks) and then drops forward, it falls out of the front runner. Can you get the glass back into the runner with the door card in place?

No.

So this was the scene at about 5:30pm



All was finished by half 6, but it was dark by then.

Next up is a new boost gauge. Does anyone know what this gauge is worth, complete with the drivers vent holder?
