Cheezey Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I thought I'd bump this to see how it is going. The MoT lapsed in December. Any news or is it a spring project now? Mrs6C and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I did have a look at it the other weekend. The boot was sopping wet so I took the carpet and sheet of hardboard inside to dry out. Underneath I found the wheel well had a fair sized hole which is hopefully 30cm away from the seatbelts but will need migging up at some point. Inside was a little damp so I need to pop the windows down the next time we have a warm windy day with perhaps some rice in a sock or similar. The worst bit was that it wouldn't start. I bought 2 new batterys in the autumn which are rated for the 405 and are the biggest things I can get into the 220. They were in the 1310 and 220 and both were flat but even charged up it won't fire. I'll dig out the leads and the Pug next time I've got a spare hour. I bought it a pile of new exhaust bits which can be fitted when I remember to bring the various stands back from work. Once it works and is quiet I'll get the screen sorted and chuck it through a test. I'm not certain what to do then as I really don't need 5 cars. Progress is a bit slow as I'm a lazy sod with 2 jobs, 3 kids and a house that needs loads of work too. I'm making an effort to film project car work too which is good as it provides motivation but can slow things down a bit.

catsinthewelder Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't do facebook but if anyone can ask him how much he wants for front wings that would be ace. I can't pick them up straight away but could probably head over some point soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Does it not have some kind of daft immobiliser key fob which needs pushed in order to get it started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 There is a key fob on which the button needs to be pressed to avoid the alarm going off when starting. Fucknugget here can never remember which button much to the delight* of the neighbours. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I was told not to lock it! I hope it lives on, it is a bit hanging but it goes well. RobT, HillmanImp, Lord Sterling and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheezey Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ha, did I tell you that? I think I was just worried about alarm and immobiliser carry on so I just never bothered to lock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 There is a key fob on which the button needs to be pressed to avoid the alarm going off when starting. Fucknugget here can never remember which button much to the delight* of the neighbours. I want to say it's the left one*. Never had any problems with starting while I had it except for once when me and Girlfriend_70s were about to head out and when I turned on the ignition it briefly came to life and then lost all electrics. Gf_70s gave me a look that said something along the lines of "so you own three cars which are all broken and now you've borrowed a fourth which is also dead, I might hate you" while I fiddled under the bonnet. Negative battery terminal was loose... *Information provided may be wrong DodgyBastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 if it's standard Rover fob then left to unlock/disarm, right to lock/arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
