You sure you have not got rats under the bonnet Andy? What could have caused that amount of damage?

Not sure mate, i have not seen a gasket do that before, the bolts were not as tight as they normally are, I suspect that would be a factor, I’ll check when I fit the replacement and torque it up and see what happens after a few hundred miles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello again,
The sun was shining, as was the Rover, this morning, so I decided to try one more once, to quote Count Basie, to replace the driver's door card. It has been off since I suffered the key locking cable failure. I had given up after probably a fortnight of failed attempts, and many grovelling excursions to retrieve the black box clips from under the car. This time I ignored the advice in the PDF of Post #94 in https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...=79190&page=10 to fix the top of the card and concentrated on viewing the interior of the card from the edge of the door. This way I could line up the black clips with the spring clips. Everything worked as it should on my first attempt, and the top of the card seems to have locked into the window-edge clips of its own volition. Success! Derek. |

Went to fill mine up this morning,and was confronted by a queue for just half the amount of pumps than normal. Stockpiling diesel and petrol now are we? Never in my whole life have I come across so many stupid ,gormless people in all my life. I just drove away and will have a look tomorrow. No eggs, no toilet rolls, no nappies, or whatever they call them now at Aldi. Luckily living more or less in the country we went to the farm for our usual 12 eggs. Plenty of new laid free range eggs, and will be using them again in the future.

Decided to change the rear passenger side door lock as it had stopped unlocking on the fob. Changed it for another one in around 30 mins only to find the same fault persisted.
So, wait for it, removed the lock assy stripped out the motors from the assembly, replaced the brushes on the faulty motor and reassembled the door lock. Refitted to the car and it works perfectly. Well pleased to have cracked this one Not for the feint hearted

Ventured out to the Supermarket this morning as I will no doubt be required to self isolate, especially as I am over the limit age-wise and have a bone in my leg. Loaded up with what was needed minus toilet roll, beans, choccy biscuits, pasta,etc! Joined the queues 2 mile long and ended up parking my goodies in the milk chiller and jumping on a checkout to flush out all the cornetto infected shoppers as we only had five checkout staff! (I work there but am on holiday!) So an hour or so spent getting rid of the vultures meant I had time to finish my shop (I had forgotten some items but then again at my age it's to be expected), pay up and then sit in my 75 with a cuppa and some other inhalant, only to see a Blue 75 Saloon 03 plate pull in just away from me. The guy was off into the store before I could put the remains of my cuppa down my neck and go to him. So I went home and parked the old girl on the drive, unloaded the shopping and had......? Another cuppa and inhalant.
Off to see Jules tomorrow. |
