I am an Activaist-v6 and a 2.1Estateerr

[CitroJim]

It has so much wax on its undersides I think it needs Brazilian numberplates

[Stickyfinger]

Oooops its German !

Needs a compound for sure !

Ok, lets see what else there is to do on the body

Inside is great, original radio has been stolen but everything else is there

[CitroJim]

Traitor...

I've booked the scrap man for you... He'll come and collect it in the morning

In my defence m'lud... It's not mine, it's Sian's I just look after it for her Honest!

It's bouncier than Tigger on speed... I'm sure they forgot to install suspension when it was made and accidentally put in a wooden steering system...

I've fixed one issue already for you, Sticky. Surprisingly easy to do the conversion on these

RHD VW

[Stickyfinger]

Gosh, where did you find the parts ?

[Stickyfinger]

Nothing going wrong with the Activa or the AX (AX is my winter car), XM awaits garage space and the Pluriel is under a cover to the side of next doors stables.....so

I have now started the cleaning and inspection of the undersides of the "8k Barn" Golf after a Christmas break.
Front wheel arches and brakes/boots/ball joints first.
Initial cleaning reveals this so far, the runs and black patches are factory underseal, brake disks are as fitted as are the pads. All rubber boots and joint covers seem soft and compliant. I will next remove the arch liner and have a look under there.

I think the wheel bolts tell the story about the condition this car is in !

[CitroJim]

Wow! That's looking very blingy Alasdair That car is going be strutting up and down the concours catwalk in the not too distant!

Looking forward to seeing it on my next visit down your way

[Stickyfinger]

It is quite remarkable how clean this car is....31 years old and it is like this behind the arch liners !

[CitroJim]

That's quite remarkable Alasdair!

[Stickyfinger]

And......back to leaky old Citroens.

Above the rear sub-frame....Winter "off road period" is the time to investigate the LHM dampness & occasional drip !

And the odd bracket to have its surface corrosion treated.

[CitroJim]

Activas and LHM leaks... They go hand in hand

We'll sort it next week between us Alasdair

The AX had a clean pass today

[CitroJim]

Magic Daffodil's a good girl!

Leak fix booked for Tuesday... I have been given permission...
