and as usual Len, completely wrong :afro:

diagnosis on a ramp was required - 2 people required - which i did with the garage owner

 once it was there, it stayed on the spare ramp in bits - cos he a very nice man

was then rebuilt at a VERY minimal cost to me as i had self diagnosed.

Sometimes it pays to use a free ramp and just throw a mate a few beer tokens rather than driveway spannering

further, my diagnosis has further assisted someone else with a similar issue  :laugh:

tried selling it, twice on ebay.  :rolleyes:

got offered 4 french cars, 2 fords and a jap motor as a swap - oh and 3 cash offers for full asking price THEN they wanted a price without the cups.  :lipsrsealed:

Erm, the full cash asking price you offered  :rolleyes:

So gave up, re-taxed it, then put some fuel in it, first time since july  :shocked: which means its not had the use its should have.......

 then I realised its still had more use than Thoms MkII and moved more than Shauns MkI has  :grin: :laugh:

Well i took it to the IoW to get the exhaust sorted  :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed: and it went swimming, 3 times  :laugh:

So knowing I had a wet near side rear footwell already, it was time to act, so by 9am on my day off it was in this state.





in for a penny, in for a pound,



thankfully the wife was out at work




and found the cause of the leak ( hopefully )



and its amazing what you find under your carpet





So carpets at work drying out, and new door seals bought aswell.

NExt up tidy up / improve engine bay  :smiley:
