Album56 0 Posted February 21, 2010 Adjusted the handbrake, it was getting more vertical by the day, never done it before. When I got the bits of plastic tunnel off I was shocked to see one cable was about an inch longer than the other & one locking nut was missing. Adjusted up the slack on the longer cable & adjusted the other side to get as near straight as possible & fitted a 10mm locking nut. Made sure everything is loose when off & brakes not binding. Now works OK on 3 clicks, successful 30min job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted February 21, 2010 Changed the grill badge for a much shinier one, washed it and polished in with Colour Magic polish - not convinced that stuff is any good! Stick to Autoglym - Super Resin Polish, Extra Gloss Protection, then their carnuba wax... does a great job on flash red IMHO! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Storm 0 Posted February 27, 2010 Fitted a new coil pack (cheers Chris!), adjusted the throttle cable, replaced a couple of rusted screws under the bonnet and gave the engine bay a quick clean. Went for a test drive and it seemed more eager! Not sure if it was the coil pack, throttle cable or placebo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted February 28, 2010 Gave mine a clean took ages to clean the alloys the amount of salt on them was unreal all nice and clean tucked up in the garage :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted February 28, 2010 Fitted some new light bulbs to try to improve the somewhat variable output the old ones had, also replaced the pipe from the FRP to the inlet manifold with some small bore fuel hose I found in Halfords. Removed 2 golf balls from under the passenger seat, believe these were making the knocking sound when I went round corners that I couldn't figure out. Otherwise, had a bit of a drive and looked at the water beading off the Rain-X. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 28, 2010 Washed it (finally!!), and fixed the earth wire which I'd misplaced when fitting my strut brace, thus rendering my sub inoperative :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigowl 0 Posted March 4, 2010 Gave it first longish run for months. To Stirling and back - about 40 miles. Trickle charger means 8-year old Quantum battery started her first time. Brake pads seemed glued to discs! Had to rock backwards and forwards to free them. New fuel pump fitted after nightmare breakdown in middle of High Street a few months ago must be OK, but work has left stink of petrol from somewhere. No leaks to ground, though. Great to have proper music system again - Toyota Yaris unit is useless for me, what, with my CDs and a hundred compilations on cassettes to play! Cassettes? Google it! We went to Dobbies garden centre - well! what do you expect of our generation? - have to keep the myth alive. They have a huge aquarists section anyway! Those marines are awesome - nothing like that when I started keeping fish. Strong coffee there, makes me feel really twitchy then four hours later a bit woozy!
