well i bought some thinker oil and gave it a service, but before all that, I have been working late nights and night shift the week before, so never had a chance to do anything with this, bar order the parts, Anyway I gets me keys and goes to the car, and looks and thinks that's odd the door is un locked? As I remembered locking this, any popped the bonnet, and shut the door ready to walk around to open the bonnet, and I see my driver side door had been bent open! The f*cking faggot or faggots had prised my door open and popped the lock as it was the 90s! So it had either been an tempt to rob the car or even worse steal it! Lucky for me the car doesn't have a radio in it, which I suspected may have been the reason for them to get in, as there wasn't anything broken, or missing. Or they have bailed out when they twigged that they were on camera. ( I am in the process of looking for the time and date) All I know is that the little car wasn't blagged last night, So it could have been any of the days, As I have been bed to work practically all week, and my parents haven't really gone out side, As they have been working on the house, The car has been at an angle for me not to notice anything either. At least my dislok and battery cut off saved the car anyway!
But from what we gather, with my dad been on holiday and no Gentoo wagon, they though that they could have a go at it!
Anyway, my dad came out and bent the door back into place, while I dropped the oil out of it and changed the filters, I topped the coolant up and took the car for a run, came back as I was still getting noise in, and we tweaked the door again. Now I recon that someone has had a go at this car before I got it, As it does explain why the door makes a noise like it doesn't close properly, There is no damage done to the paint work, if there is its very little, but from what marks are on the door, it does look like some one had been at it before.
The door is back in line as best it can be, window is fine, but I will have to check the door locking system to see if that's ok, as I think that might have either been fiddled with, not sure on that one.
The car is back to its old self now and not even smoking and its pulling like a train if not a bit more alive!
So we think that the engine may have done more miles and needed a thinker oil, I didn't put any treatment in it.
So maybe the stuff I used did the trick but took the life out of the oil.
No photos of damage, as I wasn't going fanny about taking photos, I just wanted to get the car sorted.
Going to let the metro boys know, as this will be the second metro that has been got at!
One was stolen and recovered, thank god!
