beko1987 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Went round to help a friend change the steering rack in his old corsa Was a fun* job, certainly needed 2 people. Was nice to just chat and tinker, it even only rained right as we were bolting back up and packing up (he still needs track rod ends so we just sat it back on its wheels) Andyrew, Stanky, Split_Pin and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticvandan Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Looks like I have a collection mission on Monday ? has anyone any experience of using the DVLA phone service to tax a car? My phone isn't internety... Normally I wouldn't worry too much but it's 160 miles with lots of motorway so would rather I was covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the eBay one in Sheffield turned into a PITA with the seller not answering his phone despite the sale being agreed, attention turned to alternatives. One in Clacton looked promising, but upon ringing the seller, the "vibe" wasn't right. Onto Autotrader, rang, arranged viewing. Pretty uneventful, Team Fat n Blind, Nev and Nev junior arrived en masse, I perved over the seller's father's TVR 420SEAC whilst the deal was being done. Shite weather and M25 traffic delayed us somewhat on the way home, but yep, Sir Jazoli is correct. £4600 with some go faster bits. If anyone's interested, I'll poke @Nev every so often to update his thread of his collection(s) to keep an update. Pez station shot - no Woollarding because of knackered knees.

Cavcraft Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Galaxy time again. Started with the hatch wiring, it looked awful, what with two broken wires, plenty of frayed and exposed others... ...fixex broken ones, taped over the others for now. One reverse light then worked, the other was a blown bulb. No such luck with the battered old driver's door wiring. Three (at least) wires have come away from the connector, looks like replacement loom probably easiest fix as broke/knackered one of the door pins. There are pin removal and replacement kits, but not sure if can be arsed. One of the thicker wires has broken, hopefully it's the central locking one and will thus work again when replaced... Next up, removal of injectors. Number 3 was a bastard, but got it out using mole grips, but carefully and using some encouraging words instead of swearing. Well, possibly some swearing. Or quite a lot of swearing... Engine bay now thus... ...the glug plug relay thing looks a bit wank, plus the leak off pipes have gone to bollocks. Injectors hopefully going for a pro clean and test this week. Sacked off going on a scooter run due to time involved doing the car, took two of the bikes and one of the scooters out for short local runs instead. The Lambretta decided it CBA ticking over and then stalled, but luckily fired back into life after a few minutes.

Road and parking opened last week after a week. The damage does seem to be confined to a line above the queen vic memorial and Burma road longcross.

The blocks are still there ( as in carpark pic). And it was a tighter squeeze in the merc than expected. But the signs say open. The blocks are there to stop those with transit vans and caravans. I usually park in staple hill ( as in the pics today ) overlooking the m3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Took the 75 to its natural habitat today, a garden centre and then off to my parents for a walk and a roast dinner. I noticed that the NSR wheel had more brake dust in it than I would expect and it was quite warm so that will be another caliper sticking on. All my 75s have done this and I've not long replaced the OSF caliper. The NSF one is also fairly new. It's going to the Rover specialist in Whitburn in Thursday for some rusty sections of brake line to be replaced so I'll just ask him to grease the slider pins while the car is in the air.
