Topped up the oil

Fitted new plastics to the seat runners on the drivers seat. No more wobbling around. :) Then drove it. Also started and moved the 16v.

If that was the first movement this year - it will have been painful! :shock:

HNY :wave:

Drove it, first time since the 18th December.

 

Damn it was good :)

Jammy burger!

There's still salt on the roads down here - not enough rain yet. [Never thought I'd ever say that.]

Nah, I did get it to roll last weekend. The pads were well and truly rusted on. Needed a lot of revs, and abuse of the clutch!

Changed the thermoswitch for he coolant temp for the gauges. Finally my gauge reads exactly what it should! Glad i didnt manage to change the thermostat, last weekend.

 

Need to check out the back box knocking on the rear axle, its been fine for months then suddenly started knocking.

Unpacked my 'new' secondhand Mk4 rear calipers, that Parcel Farce left nextdoor without putting a ticket through the door, chap brought it round about 9pm-ish! Good man, although we did wonder who the feck it would be at that hour!!!!

 

:nono: 'Check it's not weirdos before you open the door!' - yes dear! :salute: :wave:

New starter motor and alternator belt fitted :) woop woop!!!

[swiftkid 1]

currently trying to get myself round to giving it a good clean, snow foam came yesterday :D

 

yesterday did thermostat because my car wasn't getting up to temp quick enough, although seemed like a good thing because it never overheated just meant it was freezing all the way to work every morning

Went to DG Autotech and got Magnex backbox fitted after my "stainless steel" Powerflow one rusted in half and dropped off... :) Nice day to give the Corrado a good run - totally blue skies but BLOODY cold! :)

Replaced a handbrake cable. was really hard to get the clips that hold it onto the rear beam off and the freezing cold didnt help
