What I've been up to.

Started doing some jobs on the 75.

Pelhem drains cleared.
Bonnet cable mods lubed, flipped and cable tie applied.
Cleaned up the mess the previous owner made of sealing the rear light cluster and resealed.
Checked the trim fasteners for leak path. Need to add a bit of silicone and trim glue to one side as the plastic nut isn't pulling the trim all the way down.

Jobs for Easter weekend:
Fabricate a bracket for an extra 4" leg room (I'm 6ft6)
Spyhole mod.
Rear brake discs and pads.
Handbrake adjustment. Going to mod my equaliser if I can find the right type of clamp and pin.
New board for the boot mat since the current one is rotton.
Clean the parcel shelf as that is a bit green.
If I get round to it going to install a digital temp gauge, just haven't decided where yet.

If anyone has any suggestions on other things that I need to do ASAP then I'm all ears.

Also if anyone knows what size the clamp and pin required for the equaliser that would also be appreciated.

Cheers.

Shaun

I'd say drain the system and flush out the heater matrix, it's likely to be clogged up and cooler in the passenger area. A clean system with modern Anti freeze will only make it better.

Who would have thought a boat shackle would have a new life

born out of this.
