Can you guess what the latest problem is?!?!
[attachment=20304]
We started off as fitting a replacement throttle cable, but ended up pulling the dash out.
Managed to get the old cable out ok, but when trying to fit the new one, managed to push the rubber grommet through the hole into the cabin side.
Decided after finding a wet floor this morning that the heater matrix has gone as it smells of coolant and on further investigation, can see a stain on the carpet below the heater.
So, in order to gain easy access for throttle cable fitting, decided to bite the bullet and pull/replace the heater matrix at the same time.
On the plus side, I can give the car a damn good clean and remove all the hay/straw that seems to be EVERYWHERE!!
This thing has obviously been well looked after in the past, NOT!!
Still, we're making progress, slowly!
