Mk 1 black blur as been in for MOT, and Tony pointed out a couple of things that had already been sorted , or so i thought? the steering rack boots have split again? and TRE boots, now these were not replaced that long ago, so the quality of these items must now be rubbish, i'll do them through the xmas break, but a p*ss none the less, i also need to investigate a couple of other things i have noticed, diff seal what doing, she feels crashy for some reason after new tyres and alignment? engine flush and fresh oil as i tried the liquid molly engine flush and the hydrophilic tappets in all the years of ownership after this rubbish have never been this noisy at cold start, so tin of wynns best and resort,also we change the rear passenger caliper and handbrake lever and she losses handbrake bite slowly( travel) and gets brake travel after about 4 weeks or so? there is no leaks as we checked the last time we bled the system again to get perfect bite back?
I'll be taking the ignition switch apart for a good clean and topping up the battery while she is sat.
Hard top as started whistling after 70 after hitting a pot hole? so i'll take it off a re seat and set it, also change the latches at the same time.
The pilot bearing is noisy which is new? so i'll do that in summer as everything needs to come off to do it.
My jacking points on the drivers side on the floor pan are showing signs of age ,so come summer i'll cut out and add fresh.
I am looking at swapping out my MK 1 seats and fitting some 2.5 seats and doing the headrest speaker conversion to the rear panel( summer time).
Engine bay clean, swap the bumper mask and a general clean, polish and buff up.
I am sure other bits will raise their heads as i work through the list, but she is an old car now and being so will always need some form of attention somewhere.
Just thought i would share my list , as its been a while on updates.
Have a great xmas/new year break everyone.
