Still has a few niggles but mainly old age. The fuel pumps still buzzing so will change it sooner or later. Screen washer is tempermental and the horns are a bit of a whisper
Also managed to get valuation increased and reduce the insurance by £20. So now sub £200 for 4000 miles,agreed valuation of £7000, excess £50 free roadside recovery.

Seems spiders don't like petrol fumes. They started descending from the roof like a squad of SAS on a raid!

I took the lock out gave it a bit of a clean and noticed one pin was sitting a little high. Five minutes with a file and it's working as good as new.
Refit that lock and moved on to the passenger door lock as that didn't work either. A bit of wd40 in the key hole and bingo another working lock! Really pleased and I have a complete set just in case (or to sell on at some point!)

Do it once and do it right! ok, we've identified the problem, lets not make it worse by guessing……… Identifying the sympton is not the same as understanding the cause

I changed the boot strut so now it stays open….. small fries i know.
It's the little details that make all the difference

Also I changed the reverse light bulbs, checked the light clusters and clean up the earth in the boot - still no reverse lights though
