So got a couple of bits done, she thought i didnt have enough to do so its been braking itself as i have been trying to fix it, when i first got it, it had no gas in the AC, gassed it and all been fine till coming back from last GTG, lost all the gas and compressor started to rumble, i was only a few miles from home so didnt worry about it, got nice new compressor sent over from germany....
Once the old one was off, you could see where the oil and dye was coming out the front seal......well you can with the proper glasses on......
That was the easy bit, had it fitted and plumbing done with in 30min, went to adjust belt back up and the long adjuster nut spun on the rod, thread gone, still cant get head around how that happened but it did, parts ordered from germany and lots of work to replace said rod, anyway, got the belt on enough to get it 2 miles home, waiting for parts now, AC was nice and cold tho........
The fuel gauge has always played up since i have known the car, nicked a cluster out of a parts car today, fitted tonight and now showing 1/3 of a tank and not 3/4......Result!!!!!!!
Rear window motor drivers side has never worked either, nicked a motor out of the parts car and bought that home as well, well, might have made a slight hick up there, trying to get motor back into gearbox is one hell of a pig, should have swapped whole cassette, gonna have to take box apart now and try to refit motor.......
Last thing is she has lost the H plate
More when parts arrive.....
