I took the car for it's MoT just before xmas and it failed. But I'm ok with that.
The brakes are reason. It was hit and miss whether they'd make it through on the numbers. But I thought it would show some credibility if the rap sheet has things on that I can remedy and provide evidence I've...
The car is in for its MoT tomorrow. I spent a few nights on it & most of today.
I've managed to eradicate some of the green by spraying the cam cover and scraping off the remains on the inlet. I've also painted the windscreen wipers, as they were just bizarre.
Thankfully they're now black...
Making steady progress.
The MoT is 9 days away.
Continuing on from the list on the last post... the handbrake light.
This is definately to do with the ABS, which the car doesn't have. In order to turn the light off - I needed to destroy the PCB track to the ABS on the clocks.
Stripped them...
Sorted the idle problem.
Cleaned the map sensor (+ found one for a tener on ebay - so now have a spare). There's a fine dusting of oil in the inlet tract and the map sensor is not a 'remote' one, connected via a vacuum hose (like mine). So I'm making an assumption it was coated in that...

Advert...
I've been checking the valve clearances on my bike and one of the valve cover bolts snapped. Typically it is the one most exposed to the front wheel and not even half a can of WD40 made any odds.
I'm left with this:
There's not a great deal of land, left on the thread of the bolt, but I...
From Ford though, not surprised on the pricing. Fun comes at a cost. It's how my kids were created.
A wise man once said, there are no pockets in shrouds.
Love it.
Steering wheel does look like it is from a Saxo owners facebook group. What are you getting instead? OMP trecendo or something?
Would look great with some TD Pro race. What wheels options have you got?
