Small update time!
Been using the cabriolet infrequently the past few months without incident, still a very rough hesitation low down but once I get going up the gears it seems to be fine. Have a used MAP sensor from Mighty306 to try and fit to see if it fixes it but haven't had time/daylight/figured a way to do it without A. losing all the skin off my fingers or B. Pulling half the engine apart.
Windscreen wiper motor packed in one rainy night on the way home from training, which resulted in me only using it in the dry cause I'm a lazy so and so.
Now I have after hours driving on the work van I see myself using it even less now, though that should enable me to get some of the work done on it I keep putting off in the event i get delayed with parts etc and might need it the following day. These include:
Timing belt
Rebuild roof electrics
Refurbish wheels
Sort out the interior
MAP sensor
Also have to fully strip the breaker I have, and store what I'm keeping off it neatly so I know where everything is.
Cars and coffee this morning, so replaced the wiper motor with the one out of the breaker (even if it hadn't stopped working it needed doing, intermittent hadn't worked since I bought the car) 20 minute job!
Met Patrick, who's bought a few parts off me off the breaker for his cab, got a picture of the cars together, reckon only 5 or 6 on the road in Ireland! Apparently his car has graced the forum a few years ago, previously with a HDi engine, now with an Irish reg, and an XSi engine with a load of GTi6 bits on it. [attachment=31994]
