Astor Grey Phase 3 XS

[hbomb1905]

Right, managed to spend a few hours on her beginning of last week!

Started off by getting up and taking the missus to hand her project in and finish uni for christmas - took a few snaps of the car looking a bit grubby outside Plymouth Uni!





Since I bought the car the passenger electric window hasnt worked. It opens fine but wont shut again on the switch. I've replaced the drivers and passenger switches and checked all the fuses. Everything else in the door works (central locking, alarm system works properly and the leccy mirror works fine) and like i say the window will go down with the passenger side switch! (but not the drivers side). The motor works as i can operate it up and down using a piece of wire from the cars battery - im now at a dead end!!

So, pulled the loom out of the door as best as I could to try and find a split...





All looks ok to me? Really struggled to find anything wrong - apart from it all being a bit grubby... do they look rough to you or does it all look normal! Anyway starting to lose patience with it having had the door card on and off about 60 times!

Anyway, stuck it back on and all is neat and tidy again and the footwell is devoid of trim now haha...

Next up was a random act of violence upon the rear wiper - had a few goes at taking it off over the last 6 months and kept pussying out at the thought of a smashed window haha... Gave it a good tug and sort of snapped the spindle so thought 'f*ck it' and got the junior hacksaw out!!!







Nice bit of sticky tape! (Later went to Halfords and bought a 19mm Aerial Grommet which is a perfect fit and looks quality! Will get pics next time i'm out playing with it!)

STICKERS!! I'm such a gaylord when it comes to stickers... i'll suddenly decide I want loads and go a bit mad on ebay then decide I want the car to look clean... Which is what happened the other day..

Bye bye to...



(FCS ones just relocated to top of drivers side windscreen)



Hated that green one!

Still clinging on... haha



Ahh tidy



Rossi can stay on the back!



Next up - time to give it a good clean in and out, try and get rid of the fag stench and the brake dust!!

Grille off for about a week after trying to get the fans to work (no luck)







aaaaannndd.. nice and clean!











and my new air freshener from Halfrauds!



Highly recommended! Cheap (2.99 iirc) and is still stinkin' after a week, but they have been known to last about a month!
