Hi All
Yep, its done mgr-service.com did the business, the smoke has cleared just some NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- in the engine, ECU restart via the T4 went fine the only thing it did not like was that the original car had Exons fitted and the facelift has projectors and the ECU though a fault code up but apart from that it was all fine and dandy, the guys did a pre mot check and a lazer wheel alinement, which was well out, the pre mot check had just 5 faults which I am chauffed with, handbrake adjustment required, now done, handbrake cable touching exhaust over rear axle , now done, rear door alinement, not a fault just a obsveration, now done, front ball joint NS, to do tomorrow.
The only wierd thing happening is when you start the car the petrol gauge works then after a minute or two it stops and goes to empty any ideas guys.
Still to do , get another key, find a CD cassette to hold the CD's for the CD player, anybody got a spare ?. get a shorter belt for the engine, mine came witha 94 inch belt, which puts the adjuster on the stop even with a new belt
The stainless mesh for the lower grills came from
Lockwood International Ltd. Unit 7. Croydon St. Leeds LS11 9RT Telephone 0113 2440070 or Email [email protected]
So I hope to see you on my travels, now that its a runner.
Poeple have asked about the costs of the project I can now say £6500, but how do you value 300 hours, even at £30 an hour thats £9000, so was it worth it, yes , would you do it again NO.
Thanx again for all the nice comments and encoragement from you all:drool4:
