anonymous user Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Honestly it is a bit of a 10 footer. Saying that if a 3 bucket wrongun gets hold of it and spends a day or two then white room it they will easily lose the carJust see the bumper floating in mid air The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Man from ministry said the puma is good to go for another year. He did mention that shocks feel a bit tired but they weren't leaking.

Bucketeer Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Great news. I'm baggsying first refusal on the little race car when you inevitably become bored of it or have no room for it due to too much other chod or whatever. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendry Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Even better this was hidden in the back of the german service book Halfords auto centre just quoted me £600 for cambelt and (refurbed) water pump. Whys it got a German service book? Did it originate from there or something? Also is the mileage on the Corsa genuine? Youve done a grand job sorting it out, but i wouldnt have expected something that low mileage to need a lot of tidying up, perhaps just some reconditioning.

Split_Pin Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Good news on the Corsa. This is 750 to a fanboy all day. These just don't come up for sale any more and there's lots of Corsa enthusiasts out there who have rotten GSis or high powered conversions who would bite your hand off!

The Moog Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not had a sniff on corsa. Nothing at all. Yep corsa mileage is backed up by online MOT history. Re the German service book - bugger knows. It looks like it was supplied by Farnborough dealers. That's why I hadn't looked in it.

AMC Rebel Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I asked about the German Service book when I bought it - but the fella didn't know either. Weren't they all made in Germany?

Split_Pin Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 White is desirable amongst some Corsa botherers. It's had a lot of interest in the 2 pages I posted it up on but no firm contact as yet. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 The window regulator for the vel satis came a week or so ago, but been put in the back burner till today. Out came the window and regulator. Care fully put it on a towel and stripped it down That will be why it is fucked then Everything went down hill from here. Trying to follow the YouTube videos was a bit of a nightmare. They were blurry and not easy to follow. Took about 2 hrs of fiddling until I got it into shape. Getting the tension on the runners is a nightmare and kept popping off. Test fit and test run resulted in new cables popping off and being chewed up. Ballsticks I think I have had enough with it. One french fancy going up for sale. In mean time I have ordered another repair kit, but if anyone knows how to fit one or will do it for me I will give you money!

Guest Hooli Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I rebuilt those regulators a couple of times when I had the goona of doom, they are a right twat. Not too bad once you get the knack, just a twat to keep it all together until the screws go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Espace window mech came today. Annoyingly the metal parts are slightly off. There is too much difference to make a good one from the two. New set of cables in order so hopefully I can get it done. Looking at the old ones they are slightly too long. In other news, how many bhp does this add? Bucketeer, M'coli, DeeJay and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
