I plan to do mine this summer…. if I can make the engine oil tight this weekend.

If I can't, I plan to use the headlining as an accelerant!

Takes 3mins to stick drawing pins in and probs 3 quid a box. Its a long list till i get round to a new one. Beige carpet is black and oil stainded. All door cards need attention. Front seats are cracked. Only rear seats and dash is worth keeping. Mabye time to go for a grey interior insted of creme haha

In the end I found a guy selling a top hat short engine (minus cam) with refurbed crank, new pistons & conrods, bearings etc. Was for a project that didn't happen so got it for £1100.
Hopefully picking up from London next week.
Just need to decide whether to go standard or upgrade for cam?

ordered my roof lining samples today, now if i could only find whats causing my coolant to leak from me hoses id be happy still waiting on my sniff test kit to arrive to check for headgasket failure or worse, all plugs look good dont lose no collant driving no over heat no steam just park it up at night and in the morning the expansion bottles empty and me coolant leaked out from the T piece in the top hose and yes its new new expansion bottle cap went on today lets see if that helps

well done that man finding a new engine

Repainted both front seats as the passenger one was scratched. I was quoted £300 by a bloke I found on t'interweb. So I bought a kit for £40 inc delivery and sorted it myself. Pics are before and after.

Replaced the none working bulbs in the dash and climate control.. Nice easy job, should have done it ages ago.

ran around gathering parts all day as the garage found more bits ####ed

That's fantastic. Could I ask where you got the kit from please?

Bought a serpentine belt tensioner to replace the fooked one ive got on at the minute.

The £92 one? I saw that and the next thing I remember is waking up staring at the ceiling.

My D2 TD5,was losing coolant,could not find out where from,until i removed the fan cover,the braided hose,from the header tank,to the radiator,had gone porous,under pressure,cut a few inches of it,re connected it,job sorted.

Undid 3 screws and swapped my knackered 'E' post exterior trim. At least that's what RAVE said I did.
What I actually did was remove the 3 screws, saw the old one into as many pieces as I could get away with, then fought using a stanley knife and a skinny chisel to hack out the remaining pieces held in by mastic from some over-zealous glass fitter to let the replacement get half a chance at fitting.

I realise you probably did,but did you clean the hose connections,before fitting the hoses,i normally just give them a light clean,using a green kitchen type scouring pad.
