only because we go on about it all the time.

She don't want me to spend too much on the blue one as it's just a tempary car....... Rolling Eyes

It's just too good to get rid of and it allows me to keep the P1 in mint condition whilst the P2 gets abused as a family car.

just done some little jobs lately as I'm stuck in work and it's dark when I finish.

Firstly I replaced the bleed screw on the radiator, as it has snapped off. This proved to be a pain in the arse but it soon came off when I put a screwdriver through it.

I then topped up the box and engine oil levels, which showed me that I have a broken oil pressure sender.(one more thing to ad to the shopping list)

I wd40'd the rear boot lock as it was super tight! I also found that the central locking bar wasn't attached due to the clip being broken. Boot doesn't lock either, so I'll have to sort that now.

And I disconnected the boot light as it wouldn't turn off and was flattening my battery.

All in all a uneventfull week but I'm sure there's more to do at the weekend.

The car is running again after its lay up.

New engine loom,
All earths cleaned up,
dodgy immobilser removed and wiring repaired
new HT leads,
new ignition module

Car drives fine and is lovely apart from the key damaged tro the body.

Also due to its lay up it has been a garden for new life

Car drives great, everything works on it, I even made him hoover the car out.

Its up for sale as well.
