Oh no, not ANOTHER one! 18/02/24 Topless french totty!

When I scanned it, it had logged LHR sensor signal coherence, so I'll have a look and see if it has tipped over.

Busy day today,  to celebrate the success of fixing the roof, the OSF had gone flat.  It was a bit cracked anyway so I had 2 Continental part worns fitted up front.

Whilst the wheels were off, I serviced rhe front brakes, refitted a missing wing bolt and changed the oil and all the filters.

The cabin filter hasn't been changed in years...

The rest of.the filters were newer but I wanted to get the car ready for sale so d8d them anyway. 

I stripped and replaced the rear pads but both handbrake mechanisms are fucked so two new calipers required.

@RoverFolkUs wanted to know about the ABS... it seems these do like to tip the sensors over too, sadly in this case it had cracked the sensor body too.

You cam see where it has caught the abs ring here.

This morning I also bought a cleaners trolley which has been great for getting shit too and from the garage, a steal at £20.

I also deployed the chinese sparkle wand to free up the brake pipe unions.

 

Close of play for today...

That heater looks dead handy, the times I've nearly set my Reliant alight using a blowtorch....

Where did you get yours? I could do with one

[ruffgeezer]

I think it was ebay, but to be honest it struggled a bit on bigger stuff (see my audi thread for that) I suppose it did the job but only just.

[ruffgeezer]

I mean I have completely neglected any more pictures, but it's pretty much all done.

Just need to re-bleed the new rear calipers and fit the new wheel centre cap when it arrives.  MOT booked for Monday afternoon and then up for sale.

Ooh, indeed so then! All looks very rusty, not often I see a modern Peugeot in that sort of state

[ruffgeezer]

Yeah it's been parked up around 18 months so is a but more crusty in some places.  Body looks good on it though.

So (for completeness 🙂) what was the issue with the roof?

So the primary cause was the NS window motor wouldn't communicate with the BSI and therefore the roof control module and the other two window switches.  A good, used window regulator got it working and the roof to attempt to open.

The secondary cause was that the previous owner had been trying to operate the roof manually which caused the catch release cables to come adrift, those refitted to the boot lid rams had it all going.

Well done that man! 👍🏼

Of course being a shiter, I will be stripping the old motor to see if I can see why it doesn't communicate.

Well after a round of wanting to replace a worn rear shock bush,  I ended up putting a complete rear shock along with a new top mount on the car,  instead of a tenner's worth of parts, it was over £50.  Still it's got a clean MOT now so it was worth it.
