Been tidying this up a little and as I come yo write a post I realise I haven't taken pictures of most of it.
Bought some rear window switches and now have 1 working rear window. Not investigated why the other doesn't work further. Replaced the shit and too short front wipers with some Bosch ones then adjusted them so they parked a little lower and didn't hit the screen edge. Also used some sheet metal screws to stop the boot plastic rattling.
I bought some Xsara mist jets off ebay. They weren't genuine Peugeot and were utter dog shit.
While I was out the throttle cable snapped where it was clamped to the throttle arm with a bolt rather than using the proper receiver.
Made a temporary repair of this at the road side with a cable tie.
Then replaced the throttle cable which is a ball ache of a job but after cutting the plastic bit off the pedal end to fit it I've araldite'd that back on and used part of a pedal bike brake lever as a cable receiver, it's sitting a little different to the picture but it's working and looks like it's getting full throttle travel again.
I'm currently looking to collect parts for a FMIC set up, fitting my HDi box and 10mm lines and then maybe dropping in a cheeky little turbo upgrade, nothing crazy though. Hopefully get that sorted before I go up to Scotland at the end of the month and get a little bit of fuel economy back as 40mpg is a tad low for my liking even on veg.
