Panda Alessi: Avril Lagreen

[Aston Martin]

I've done half and waiting for it to dry.

 

Not sure it's gonna hap.

[Aston Martin]

Gonna have to spend my money on a man.... Not the useless bastard who did the dog interior twice. 🙄

 

But if I find a man and just leave the entire seats with him. 👍🏻

[Aston Martin]

Bloke coming tomorrow 130-2pm

Killing self.

My never fail method of seat cleaning is to pressure wash the fuck out of them. If they're minging to start with you've nothing to lose. Wet vac them afterwards and chuck em by a radiator. If they're still stubborn douse them in g101 mixed with hot water and use one of those scrubbing brushes you can fit in a cordless drill. A little hard work and you'll save most things.

That's what the rag and bone man said. 😂

Surprise motherfucker...

It's time to get her back in full health.

 

However, she hasn't moved in two years and I charged the battery last night. She started on the fucking button. 👏👏👏👏

 

Torque sensor on the way, which may solve the issue. 🤷‍♂️

Probably needs discs and pads.

On Saturday I'm gonna clean it and lob the roof lining away.

It was sorn and I was terrified council cunts were gonna take it.

 

So, it's at work while I get it clean and order parts for mot.... I discovered today I ordered the wrong torque sensor. (Theres three types.) 😢

 

I also attempted to get the vinyl off, I used an industrial heat gun and fuck me it was coming off a mm at a time and just turning to glue.

So I left it for now.

 

[Aston Martin]

Fiat lads reckon the torque sensor is damp.

 

I took the cover off and it's rusty back there. They say just unplug and replug. But, I currently don't have the fault.

We're at 152,385

Do you never fancy taking it for a drive? Twixfest?

I don't fancy driving this to Tesco for a Twix.

£38 on the torque sensor, which doesn't appear to be broken at the minute.

 

£151 spent on servix stuff...

Air filter

Oil filter

Cabin filter

Plugs

Leads

Discs and pads.

TIK TAKS

 

[Aston Martin]

Euro car parts are fucking shit...

 

Anyway, video up tomorrow. Here's a sneak peak of my girl on Brembos.

I didn't go for the steering sensor swap as the lad wasn't sure about it. 

So I said just lob it in for an mot. 

 

....

 

 

 

[Aston Martin]

This dash fault is just wonderful...

 

Apparently it's got water in the cluster. Which also explains my steering fault, that isn't currently on.

[Aston Martin]

Real men.... I hot glued then on.

 

@doug

 

[Aston Martin]

Borrowed a wallpaper steamer from the neighbour, need to remove the vinyl.

 

Also....

 

 

[Aston Martin]

Please work...

 

[Aston Martin]

It did not work...

Surely if any car needed Green Stuff brake pads..... Good news on the MOT👍

[Aston Martin]

So... One of the rear windows was ajar, like half a cm. Not far enough down to be actually open.

 

Pissed it down all night and we are dry. 

 

Hoping it was that. 🤞

This morning. Condensation on the roof and nowhere else.

 

Is this just because the liner is missing?

I would of thought so. It's something i've experienced a lot in vans though in truth its possible there was something damp left in them each time.

[Aston Martin]

Done 170 miles in 2 weeks. Which is more than it's done in 5 years.

 

However.... I now have the fault the orange one had. I indicate with the light on and they briefly turn the headlights off. 

So I can indicate, or flash people.  Think its the stalk.
