Thought I'll start my project log... hope you like!
Got it about 8months ago and love it.
Little pre-story...lol
Bought it from parkway motors in mansfield...AVAOID THEM IF YOU CAN... went on a test drive(saturday)-all was ok apart from drivers side window regulator was gone...so they told me i cant have it till tuesday untill they fit new regulator and do new MOT for it...also noticed that boot struts not holding boot lid up...so asked to change that as well-on which they said ok, no problem... so i went home... managed to get day off from work on tuesday to pick it up...phoned them up on monday night and they told me that i cant have car till wed, because window regulaor not been delivered yet and car won't pass MOT if widnow dont open....same happenned on wed....regulator still wasnt there and got told to come on friday or sat to pick the car up....whch i wasnt very happy about-as was very excited and wanted to drive it! Luckily one of my mates is MOT tester and he said that electric windows are not part of MOT...so i phoned them and said that I'll pick the car up on thursday and they can just post regulator to me and i fit it myself....picked car up on thursday morning....on the way back home, on M1, car ran out of petrol when trip computer was still saying 90miles to empty!!!! Got my mate to drive to services and bring me some petrol....got home eventually....filled up full tank of V-power and constantly smelled petrol inside and outside the car...pulled over-looked under the car-and noticed petrol just pouring out on the ground! Checked it 1st thing in the morning-found that on fuel pump metal cover 1 screw/bolt was missing-so there is was a gap and petrol when pressured was just leaking out! Fitted new o-ring and missing bolt-fixed the problem....but 1 month later, after phoning them every 2-3days-still never received window regulator...eventully about 2.5months later i got....fitted-all ok... but still no new boot struts! Every time i phone them-they promise to order them and send them to me....now 10months later-still ent got them! They are not that expensive, and can buy them myself-but thats not the point lol
So car had knackered window regulator, boot struts, fuel sender and fuel leak... fuel leak was there for a while as well as metal underneath the car, where petrol was leaking, was shiny like new....i wonder how they done and passed MOT day before? T**sers!
Rant over haha All fixed now (apart from fuel sender....took both of them out, cleanned, so about 90% accurate now)
Done few bits to it so far...
This is how I got her
