Having stored the car outside in the recent wet weather (or very very wet to be precise) I realised the car was getting wet floors. After investigation this turned out to be blocked and disconnected drip tray tubes. Although I've not had much time of late, yesterday I finally got the opportunity to ...

Progress update: So I've had chance to do a few more jobs that have required sorting for a while. I've now replaced the passenger door card which had a large piece missing at the top, replaced the window switch on the drivers side, repaired the rear storage tray and also the dipstick guide tube - th...

This weekend’s task was to fit an original air box and filter as I wasn’t happy with the aftermarket version fitted by a previous owner.

Thanks

Aside of a thorough clean inside and out, I’ve not made much progress in the last few weeks. The most recent job was to clean the mouldy hood and waterproof it - I used the Milton, Johnson’s Baby Bath and Fabsil approach recommended on the forum. Before and after...

Tail light before and after - replacement is second hand from eBay:

Very nice Darin. One for the shopping list I think

Misfire cured! Following advice on the excellent forum I decided to replace the spark plugs and coil packs. The coil packs were sourced for £28 each from A to Z Motor Factors in Stafford.
