tooSavvy Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 As it was the first decent/warm/dry day for a month!! I made sure the adhesive was smeared onto the inner surfaces before forcing the bulk into the gaps.. This should give maximum grip 7 days in the warm cupboard, for full curing, and then off to the garage for fitting. The upper & gbox mounts will be fitted sometime in the future.

tooSavvy Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 The 'blurb', with the adhesive tube, says it will begin curing - in the tube - within 24hr of the seal being broken (as well as piercing the nozzle end it has a 'ring pull' seal at the pressing end!) so I was concerned I might lose what was left in the tube = around 50% As I have bought a brand new Front mounting - Blueprint/Febi part - I decided to bosh-up the voids on that as well... Nonetheless around 25% went in the bin. Curing time will pass & off to the garage to fit them. TS jumpingjehovahs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Its been a week+ since I 'gooed up' my mounts.... Stuck (err.. Tried to) my thumbnail into the goo and it is as hard/resistant as the factory rubber Setting to 60Shore, roughly factory spec rubber GR9 Will sort out the garage next week TS Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 My brand new Blueprint FRONT mount.. You can see here how the 3M 5200 bead runs around the extreme edge. The mount is spherical, like a doggy ball, but very lightly secured in the steel ring at its edge >> now it is more like a do-nut - there is a matching bead on the other side TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Dropped by the garage, on the way back from a short break @Carlisle, and made the booking for my engine mounts 9AM next Wed.

tooSavvy Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Since getting this car I have had an intermittent issue with wet carpet in the passenger front footwell.Usually after a solid wet period the carpet would be soggy and some newspaper would be needed under the h/d 'PROTON' rubber mat Webbie searching threw up windscreen seal shrinkage or sunroof drains.After watching septics cleaning drain pipes, with 'weed wakka' string, I thought I'd have a look-see...*note - need dry sunny day / ho bloody ho :/Dry sunny morning today....Took sill flash cover and lower carpet corner trim off.Reached into void and my finger touched the roof drain plastic pipe... Somewhat alarmingly, it rattled & waved about and I'm sure it is meant to be long enough to be positioned loosely [through the sill section/hole] into the empty space below TUBE IS TOO SHORT!I inserted the above, a polypipe insert, and only pushed it 1/4 way in - very tight fit luckily - and now the extended pipe end is stuck down and through the factory sill hole Pouring water into the sunroof drain tray and it's running out of the sill bottom...I poured water into the Drivers side (never a problem) and that came out the sill too! Will check over the next week or so.... Rainagain Sunday Lacquer Peel, Shirley Knott, Dave_Q and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooSavvy Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Off to the garage 9AM tomorrow. A while ago I bought 2x wipers, from my local factors, about £4 each. The pass side has started 'aunnkk aunnkk' >> stotting on the upstroke and it is annoying £12 at Halfrauds... Nope... £1.99 @HomeBargains ... The wiper, however, is a placcy shitehawk chink lashup. I snapped the wiper open >> slotted the rubber into my noisy arm assy >> clipped it together = tres bon! GR9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooSavvy Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Job done YaY .... now when I power on/off I get the Noddy Dog effect >> before it was like a shunty thump/associated engine rattling. I have only driven 2 miles but, at the lights, I felt the very slightest vibration through the wheel, on tickover. This is a 'reinforced/modded' mount now but the one that came off was in two pieces so I reckon the engine has been 'not clamped down' for a while so no-vibes is not a valid comparison. 2hrs = £70... But I'm much happier, so an 'investment' really. egg and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Over the last 10days I have been getting 'bacon slicer' noise on right turns, especially mini rbts... Examining the f/n/s brake disc (slender spoke alloys=ftw) I can see a bright spot on the rust ring of the disc .... further peering shows the pad to be as thick as a beermat, hence caliper/disc interface!! My garage did the rear shoes/bled the WHOLE system for the last MOT >> must have thought the fronts were 'not life expired'. They are now....

tooSavvy Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 50% success... The 12mm bolts, retaining the caliper sliders, 3 came out [with a fight!] but the last isn't having any Used my 6 sider socket and inch equivalent.. Nope. Heat... But didn't want to fry rubber boot = Nope. I don't have a rattle gun so I have ordered a selection of Torx sockets (seen the price of Metrinch!!) and will give them a go - turning on the flanks rather than points. I do, however, have an Impact Wrench.... Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two winters had frazzled it somewhat but nothing of further rot = I waxoyled the shit out of the void, when it was done!
