Bloody hell, its gonna be 30 years before that list is complete!  :grin:

Glad one thing is sorted, but lucky nothing shorted around the ignition causing an even longer list for you!  :grin:

I was thinking more 40years  :grin:

Seen as the dash is in pieces and not all the dials and light up, seems a good time to change the bulbs for some LED's...any idea where I can get the 501t LED's?

I've tried Google but I haven't got a clue what I'm looking for!

Got some cleaning done today... :smiley:

Cleaned all the behind the steering wheel, indicator/wiper stalks, steering wheel and gear stick gaiter with brake cleaner and gave it all some leather cream treatment...and now the indicators work as they should, for now anyway!

...and got the car booked in for Monday 12th for new CV Joint(s) and get the Steering Rack aligned! 


Hopefully the rain will Pi$$ off tomorrow so I can get some work done!

Got a nice little package in the post this morning...4xLED's....

got them fitted asap, removed the green filter from the top, but I didn't have a small enough torque screw piece so didn't manage to get the filter's off the screens!  :sad:

anyway I went for Red LED's behind the MFA screens, and Blue LED's at the top...could do with a few extra LED's and I like the idea of the mk4 illuminated needles but that can wait...

Very, very, very cr*p picture I'm afraid but thought something was better than nothing



Glad this little episode is over (hopefully) so I can get back to the jobs on the actual list  :rolleyes:

Well its been a good day for the workhorse today!

Took her into the garage this morning for the CV joint and Steering Rack, and thought might as well book it for an oil change too, got a call this evening so say it will be ready for collecting tomorrow morning and they've fitted from Disks & Pads!  :cool:

Were's that list!  :smiley:

Thought its about time I did a list, not a wish list but a job list...all the things I need to do before I think of any vanity jobs:


Engine
Oil and Oil Filter
Air Filter
Cabin Filter
Plugs
HT leads
Dizzy and rotor arm
Coil
Earth Strap
All new exhaust gaskets and fittings
Replace the some of the gear linkages
Gearbox Oil change
Outer CV Joint
Front Disks and Pads
Steering Rack set up right
2 tyres

Interior
New Bolts to hold the bottom of the rear seats in.
Re-fit Speakers and wires
Fix Central Locking  :smiley:
Fix Electric Window (before the summer)

Exterior
Paint Boot Lid
Re-fit Rear Wiper
Fit New Horn

I am going to try and replace all the above with genuine parts or uprated (or not) :smiley:
