With the Xantia going soon it is getting sorned as of tonight so the 205 is due to come out to play.

It has had an oil leak that I had struggled to find, eventually I discovered that the leak was gearbox oil. It has been parked up for 6 months and during this ample oppertunity nothing was done. Of course it is needed tomorrow as that is the 1st of August. This coincided with a day off for myself so...

Up in the air and take apart.

Drain all the gearbox oil.

Yes just over 1 Litre came out!

Access not too bad.

Reassembly and fill the gearbox. Then fuck about trying to get it started, it wasn't drawing fuel up properly so some expert* carb fucking about got that sorted.
Started up and reversed out the door so it could run.

It ran through a couple of heat cycles with the fan doing its job.

Might have to do something about a temperature gauge.

Until tomorrow.

It's deffo better to know than to not know when it comes to coolant temp in old Puglets. Is it much fart on to fit a universal temp sensor/gauge?

Away man!

 

Just operate on the understanding that if the 

STOP

light is off,  it's not too late.

 

If it's hallucinated, the it is too late.

After previously changing the passenger side diff oil seal and it being dry for a couple of weeks the driver's side one joined in the party.
At MOT time I had a good look while it was over the pit and decided that oil seal part two was a required sequel.

In it came

IMG_20191026_121834798.thumb.jpg.cbc254d67e1c3a69edc19e9a775362df.jpg

For some reason there were no more pictures taken by me.
It became a bit* of a war at times, I can only assume that the drivers driveshaft has never been off before and we ended up having to unbolt the bearing carrier from the engine and then the use of the vice and mallet were employed to separate the two. 

Oil seal removed with a home made tool (claw hammer with one claw removed so it would fit) and new seal fitted. 
New driveshaft fitted as we had one on the bench and all reassembled. The gearbox got its full complement of oil again and the test driver reported that reverse was happy to play a part in the driving experience once again.

More updates when stuff is done which should be when @stereotype gets some front tyres.

Not quite true.

In the time before lockdown the car had been making a screeching noise with the engine running. I had a look and decided it had to be a bearing and non of the easily accessible ones appeared to be the culprit. Having no history for the car I guessed it was time to change the cambelt and the fucked idler pulley.

In she came and up.

We had an issue and the timing was lost so some locking pins were made.

IMG_20200321_145853181.thumb.jpg.a2880535f0138caef90b2430d338a3c6.jpg

And easy one fitted.

IMG_20200322_112958993.thumb.jpg.5936f3897e2fe29eae1b260768e46e08.jpg

Then after quite a bit of a hunt the other was found and fitted.

IMG_20200322_112940836.thumb.jpg.fbb112166305cb174f93ccbdcc912a36.jpg

New waterpump, idler pulley and belt refitted, filled with fresh coolant after giving the expansion tank a good clean.

Run, bled and all good. 

Seems to run much happier after the work, certainly started much better.

I think it was only over two days but that was because I needed to walk away from it and you were certainly there day one when most of the work was done.

Imagine the labour costs. 

 

Just lack of efficiency is the excuse for the time schedule and the hourly rate is very low ?
