Upside down on the wrong wrist. That will sort it!

I guess this one doesn't roll around your wrist?

No, but it shuffles from side to side if you stop moving.

The car is running franticly well atm with it rising almost instantly on the new pump/regulator, the engine is so quiet and the power steering has improved measurably.

Not much achieved this weekend due to digging and the weather......

Did do:
Exchanged the ECU Box for an unbroken one, cleaned and satin blacked before refitting
Cleaned up, removed a little surface rust and painted the area under the ECU Box, waxoiled the area
Repaired some missing plastic loom covers.

On the To-Do list
find the oil leak, a little one showed up at Jim's from the cam cover I had done a few weeks ago, there is no sign of it today at idle or after a run !

[CitroJim]

Delighted to hear how good things are on the hydraulic front Alasdair, that's excellent

Good on the ECU box, that really confused me when I was trying to put the lid back on!

That oil leak is funny. It was quite significant up here... Maybe the car is wise and much prefers to be at home in Somerset than up here in the Bucks Badlands...

[Stickyfinger]

it is strange, not a drop on the ground after the run back and none when idling earlier

[CitroJim]

That is just so bizarre Alasdair...

[Stickyfinger]

maybe that little "tweak" I gave it did the job, the socket hardly moved if at all ?

Tried that once on a TU rocker cover bolt, sheared the stud clean off!!

[Stickyfinger]

I already have two stripped threads needing HeliCoils next week

[chinkostu]

Oh dear Al, nothing too difficult i hope!

[Stickyfinger]

They should be OK.

One was already gone (chemical metal in the hole) and the other was so worn that it gave way like butter. The leak strangely is not next to those and is bracketed either side by good ones

The secret was in the use of a torque wrench on it...

I must admit, nowadays, on such delicate ones I always get the torque wrench out...

This seat foam is FUBAR......so a repair will be needed




Over time the metal section pushes down, cuts the foam and in the end cuts the leather.
