Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

[richardmorris]

Back home. Good and bad 404 wise. Got rid of some useless electrickery fitted the new bonnet cable and it worked first time. Then Chris wanted a spring attached, which I did and the bonnet release no longer works in situ, but does when removed from its anchor point. I think there may be a better route for it, but couldn’t find it. 

both horns now work - hi and low tone.

the windscreen washer pump doesn’t and is dead.

the boot is all tidied up, wire brushes and painted hammerite beige. As is the c15 !

Once I’d worked out how it went, I just needed six double jointed fingers to do it. I don’t know why it did work but doesn’t now. It’s like it’s got too much tension on it.

I find those generally have a lifespan of between 6 months and a year before they stop pumping.  They'll still "work" as in the motor will still whizz round, but they won't actually pump anything.

We ran a wire straight from the battery ( which I made up with the wires from the old ignition module). Not a sausage from it. So the cabin button could be fine . The old one looks identical to this eBay cheapy.

It think it will fit as badly as the last one!

I don’t know what was on the boot carpet I was kneeling on to do your lordships bidding with the c15, but I’ve had to use swarfega and the nail brush to get my knees clean again!

[richardmorris]

Plus found two hand written signs in the 404  - out of petrol back soon, and for sale knock for info.

and a 2cv bonnet stay!
