garbaldy Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 YAY - Numbers 1 to 58 inclusive when you are ready....But if 59 wins you will be boiling. Jim Bell and loserone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Suns out, guns out. Only by sun, I mean this exhaust clamp. And by out, I mean on. The middle section and back box are patern and they dont meet like they should. Ive clamped it ub as best I could but its still blowing obviously. Seems secure though, so Im calling it a small win. Not good. Betterer. Lacquer Peel, paulscavalier and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 The tyres were old and cracked but some almost new Khumos popped up on the old interwebs in the right size on the right rims.

cobblers Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I've never managed to get one of those exhaust joints to seal without plastering loads of that halfords own brand fibre reinforced exhaust putty all over both sides before clamping it up. Infact looking at it, you're missing something - there should be a fibre washer in the middle that gets crushed when you tighten the clamp and stops some of the leak.

Jim Bell Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 The hubcaps are just off as I intend to renip the nuts after a few miles before refitting. They have NOT been thrown in a bin or roller painted green. Needs a wash but its fit as a lop. Eddie Honda, dave21478 and DodgyBastard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 No, don't bother, sunroofs are the Devil's work. If this one doesn't seal properly don't have the lever in the fully closed position, swing it back down until it's just "over centre", that usually did the trick in the green Escapade.

Jim Bell Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 I agree. My rule is never open a sunroof if it doesnt currently leak. This one doesnt currently leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I was enjoying the sunroof in the little 19 this morning. It better not start leaking. Glad it's fixed now though, I do have a lot of love for 106 Diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Shakedoon run today. 120 miles round trip up through Northumberland and back down to the Tyne. Car performed grand. Exhaust still fully afixed and I nipped the wheel nuts up north of the Tyne and refitted the wheel trims. Impressions after an hours drive each way is that its not the most comfortable mile muncher, but thats hardly breaking news. It keeps up with the moderns well enough and I even overtook some people on the straights. I can say without doubt that its flat out top speed is 77mph on the flat with a slight headwind. Stirring the pot round the windys was fun. Gear linkages are a touch sloppy but TADTS. Oh and the voltmeter got sick of telling lies and gave up completely outside of Haydon Bridge. Thankfully I no longer require its constant reassurance. Coprolalia, alf892, paulscavalier and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
