Project I have got the bug!... Moogs Motahs

[The Moog]

Back home set to sorting the faults. 

The car came with two other front seats as the drivers was the cause of airbag light

 

Swapped drivers seat and light has gone.

The issue was that disconnected the battery to allow for airbag to discharge this happend 

Someone had added an end to the positive battery and it was loose. 

Fuse box apart and quick trip to Halfords 

 

Jobs a good un

Exhaust has been sprayed silver and is knocking (I don't think it is leaking). Fixed the rear rubber and knock has gone for now.

 

Other annoyances that I might get round to sorting are sloppy gear change, clutch bite is almost on the floor and adjustable rake is faulty.

Going to be used for autotesting and then decide whether to keep or move it on.

i wouldn’t worry too much about the sloppy gear change - that’s just how they are. and it will do 70 in second anyway

Ohhh good to know. 

It will be likely roffled in couple of weeks.

Cheap fix is a  Few self tappers wound into the cup tightens up the slop.

Clutch is adjustable too on these although it’ll probably need freeing off a bit as it’s prone to getting a bit crusty located where it is on the front of the box!

I'd get the clutch adjusted properly pdq. They have quite a high pedal usually and tinkerers fiddle with them often to the point of constant contact on the pressure plate and prematurely burning the clutch out.

Thanks for the advice.  This was literally 1cm off the floor.  Fairly easy to do and now have a clutch that is usable rather than stalling every time!

Very much so although focus can pretty much do that in first
