I’ve just bought the car so not sure about the history however It has had a service at a main dealer a thousand miles ago so I would have expected them to pick this up - I think I’ll take it back to them to take a look

Thanks Seadog, I’ll take that as a yes!

Hi guys, I’ve noticed a small leak around one of my 2.2 injector seals...it doesn’t look that fresh but don’t want to leave it if likely to become a bigger issue...would appreciate your views. Thanks R

Ok, thanks AI, you’re a gentleman, that’s been a great help...R

Yep, I’d say double fracture...two cracks in line with top and bottom of the plugs....where the bolts would have been flexing...

It was the bottom of a TV aerial, Patriot roof rack was used for camera work... It has fractured the panel which is annoying but could be liveable with...

OK thanks AI, great - Seal = Foam right!!

Also one other issue... something was bolted to the upper rear quarter panel at the back. The holes have been blanked and the panel is a bit damaged/weak. Are the rear window framing panels available or would that be a, 'weld a plate in job' to sort it out? Appreciate the help guys... Rob

so - Windscreen out. Save the frame if not too bad, replace it if it's ugly. New brackets and bolts. Paint up. Am I missing anything? r

Ok, even better...

ok. seller is going to pay for it so definitely a thorough job - stop the rot... So - windscreen out, want a proper job. The frame is spot welded to the roof though, yes? R

It's been living under a tree and the gutter under the windscreen looks to have been permanently blocked so the gutter has been a reservoir! Everything else seems bang on. r

Thanks Mick, that's helpful, should be fairly straightforward paint job then... R
