After umpteen attempts finally got her started let her warm up before I reversed out the garage only for her to cut out and stubbornly refuse to re start ended up having to push her back in to the garage.
Later on this week as previously planned her engine is going in to get a full overhaul so this grumpy oap behaviour in future will not be tolerated as she will be finally be restored to her joyful youth.

I think I had this issue as well, were you still getting power to the roof but nothing happening?

Removed side trim on my new toy… good clean under swage lines. and replace some dodgy clips.. quick rub down with soap to see, paint markings. Next job, Cd radio in, tape out, new immobilizer, replace blown speakers in door. what size are the fronts again the never ending question..what size speakers..?
sportline now, that's the car i was waiting for….
Are they round in the front or oblong?
If it's later and they're round its 15cm in the front and 6x4" in the back - if it's oblong it's 6x4" in the front and 10cm in the back

was a nightmare getting fitting loose in situ. also you need to peel the inner liner, to access the pin and locking clip, from top of ram,change that to a circlip also. tools, small hammer, small flat instrument driver,14mm combi spanner, 13/14mm ratchet spanner. and plumbers plier to compress frame to allow circlip removal and frame pin, from top of ram.
Take parcel shelf out that helps also. try to keep the spring washers in correct locations and give a bit of grease. will try source a replacement ram, from and get some bulk bought… since the orings are perished, 20yrs old etc

Resorting to using Petrol (super unleaded no less) after WD40, Sticky stuff remover, meths, white spirit and heavy washing up liquid failed the task.
Pedal rubbers replaced, wiper speed sorted and ordered parts for a complete service, cambelt, water pump, thermostat, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotar, oil, filters and drive belt.
I call it No rush after the missus said there is no rush to get it built after only owning for a couple of weeks. She is right but like any project I have done its always taken over my mind and the important things in life miss out (chill baby)… Must get a thread going on it as its quite involved and hopefully will help others along the way

And made a cup of tea.
I always read everyone's just to see if I get inspired. Today drive my daily…bmw 330d to brize Norton. . Come home cuppa tea..then out for drive in new ride…. picking next issues to sort… still more fun than being sat at a desk.
