Yes, this is the starter solenoid that I ordered and hope it fits. It's not exactly the same as the old one.

Thanks @Momentary Lapse Of Reason but this is the starter I mentioned and it is too long, the parts 2511 we have got this starter and previous owner had to cut the oil pipe like I said to make it fit.

I found a picture of that starter on the parts 2511. And yes, it's an old cooling hose the previous owner used as a replacement for the oil pipe.

I've been to London today as well (Kensington then Islington), parking space was a bit tight!

Was lucky that we could unload from the side door (can't usually) as we couldn't open the back.

Got the estimate for the 156 through yesterday, which covers the following:

Steering rack

Renewing worn brake components 

Renewing worn suspension bushes and wishbones

Renewing exhaust bushes

Cambelt and waterpump (the variator is doing a diesel impression every so often)

Rustproofing

=Expensive

 

But I like the car. So it's getting done.

May have a MK1 Laguna for sale now though.

Dropped the 75 off at Duncan the Rover guy's bit today and the Google Street view car went right past me as I was parking up. I made sure to smile for the camera, just in case the obfuscation fails!

At least for the brakes you should be able to save a few hundred quid if you do it yourself.

Definitely sure you don't want a Mégane cabriolet 👀

MOT time for blue Favorit again, it's ninth in my ownership.

I do like to see a nice even brake balance. I feel like we're halfway there at this point. 

Although the nearside rear one was binding a bit, possibly from almost four months of inactivity due to the engine rebuild. But that should just be a case of taking the drum off and giving it a good clean out. 

The advisory on the drivers seat is a constant thing, the roller bearings in the runners are worn but the wheel bearing is a new one which I'll have to sort before next year. But not now. 

This might be nearly as rare as my car. 

 

The feeling of coming away with a pass and knowing I can relax was enough to make me pick up an M&S lemon curd iced bun on the way home which I am now enjoying in the garden.

Got the new starter solenoid for the Zetor 2511 today.

 

 And it did fit!

 

And the only modification I had to make was to increase the holes on the connector on two of the cables from 8 to 10mm. And the starter works and it starts better than ever now so that's good. But had to turn off the engine immediately as the hand throttle has locked up.

So now the next problem is to get the steering wheel off something it doesn't want to and get the throttle lever loose.

Don't tempt me! No I think I should get another 156 as a future parts car.

£10 roffle may commence for the Laguna if that car I'm viewing is any good.

Or indeed I can foresee a £10 Mégane roffle and a train journey in my future 😂

Intriguing...based on nothing more than intuition and what I can see of the keyboard layouts, I'm guessing terminals of some sort - Bulgarian VT100 clone(ish)?

When I first met my now wife she had one of these. A couple of dates in she gave me a lift in it. I repaid her generosity by writing my name in the dashboard dust.

Just got back from picking sprog #2 up from my parents when my mom put this in my hands.

Been looking for this for years, thought they’d thrown it out. Happy.

Hope you left the nut on! Leaveing it under tension overnight?

Yes, of course I left the nut on, and yes left it under tension overnight and soaked it in penetrating oil.

Hopefully it will come loose, if not I'll have to think again or buy some tools.

You could have done the same on this one. It didn't look like it had moved in a while.

Well, the hoist is working again.

Snap! My ancient GPower lift gave up recently, and I couldn't find another ram anywhere, after the original defied all attempts at a rebuild.

Enter a £60 air over hydraulic ram from the 'bay, and a rewelded bottom mount, because mines got a single blade lower pin, and everything I could find was a fork, and it's fixed,

Good job, I've got a V8 to put in a range rover, a 2.9 V6 for a sierra, and numerous blocks etc to move around now.

Didn't realise how much I depended Om it untill it wasn't available
