(very) Northern counties repatriation mission

I’ve just finished my last paying job of the week so I suppose I ought to stick this up in the air and see how a Subaru from Aberdeen has faired…I’m not nervous, honestly 🤨🤔

Well, that’s interesting.

Underneath the copious amount of dried mud from @Saabnut’s driveway, it’s pretty much spotless underneath!

 

Absolutely bone dry and other than a bit of very light surface corrosion on the rear subframe, no rot at all.

Next step is to give it a thorough going over with the jet wash to remove the copious amount of Scotland that’s dried on then, once it’s dried out, cover everything with lanoguard.

I wasn’t sure what the long term prospects were for it but I can see it hanging around over this winter at least as it clings to the road like nobodies business in the mud and shit.

You can certainly tell it’s been very well looked after by its previous owner, @Drumtochty, as it’s so tight and well mannered to drive!

i stand by my first statement

Glad you are happy with it, I knew it was a good one hence offering it on here. For a non turbo it goes remarkably well.

As for the mud, it is well known that everyone who visits chez Saabnut takes a little bit away with them for fond* memories!

Yep. It’s currently swept in to a neat pile on the workshop floor, right next to the heap of greenery removed from the 900 engine… 😂

I can compliment you Nothern Monkey on your diagnosis of our dishwashers poor performance in cleaning the dishes when you visited Drumtochty.  As your recommendation, I purchase and fitted new top and bottom cleaning arms in the dish washer. It's now cleaning dishes is as good as when it was new !!!!!!!!!!!!

As advised, replace the air filter element as it is getting a bit dirty.

It’s obviously the week for it. I got home yesterday to find the fancy heat exchanger tumble dryer pulled out and firmly in ‘the naughty corner’ as it was making strange noises and not drying properly.

cue 15 minutes on my hands and knees with my head inside the machine, removing the moisture sensor and retrieving the inch long screw out of someone’s (? 🤔) pocket that had got wedged between that and the seal, shorting the sensor whilst rubbing the drum.

Air filter will be procured tomorrow from the factors 👍👍
