Stacks of little bits that have been bugging me over the winter;


One of those days where nothing was straight forward...



Mine;


1, Fitted New Lock activation parts that snapped months ago - took 2 hours to fit and get working properly...
2, Fitted new accelerator cable... What a B!tch of a job.... Getting the internal grommet to sit in the correct place, lots of swearing and now got a sore back from crawling about under the steering column upside down..
3, sorted out loose screws on the dash undertray's - 21 years of being on and off had meant the screws weren't gripping properly so sorted them out with a pair of mole grips... :D :D :D


Her's


1, Topped up the oil - fecking oil cap collapsed when I took it of into 5 pieces - lucky none fell into the cover!! fortunately had a spare on another car!
2, Changed the washer jet hose from the bottle to the T piece... sorted or so i thought until I tested it and the pipe from the T piece to the 1st jet had split due to age... Luckily I had another 6 inches spare... Just took twice as long as it should have...


Don't you love owning 21 year old cars.... ;D ;D
