Been to shop managed to replace the seals in compressor and even the change the feet. Gave it a try and just keep my finger over then so hopefully that’s a good compressor.
 
Everything connected and plumbed, tightened, checked, etc. Oil filled. Alternator back on and new belt fitted and tensioned. Spark plugs out and earthed, motor spun over 3 times for 10s a time to get the coolant circulated a bit and some airlocks cleared (meant he took another 2 litres of mix before starting him up). Plugs back in. Started him - needed a few throttle prods but not bad, bit rough to start as most rebuilds are in my experience, needed a few prods on the throttle. Ran for approx 2 minutes around 2000rpm, then stopped to check everything. No signs of fuel, coolant or oil leaks, although had drunk a noticeable amount of coolant and been topping up while running. Slight misfire and sounds a bit throaty and uneven on the exhaust tailpipe. Misfire is a distinct pop / spit about every 20s but can't work out where from. Suspension compressor noticeably noisy - must do that rebuild pronto once on the road.

Ran him again after the leak check, lots of smoke, difficult to trace source as it seemed to be pretty much everywhere. Finally traced to left hand exhaust pipe as source - then back further to a hot floorpan as the insulation above the cat appears to have come adrift and now to have cooked itself on the cat. Any suggestions as to replacement / cure / etc on that front? I'm guessing from the heat in the passenger footwell that the insulation is now (literally) toast and not fit for purpose.
 
Problem solved. ticking over pumping up tyres the clutch fell to the floor. After much depressing the HB light came on and I know there’s plenty in there. Cap off, loud hiss now brakes and clutch are sharp as ever. seems now clutch is engaging properly it’s lost its sluggishness and pulls plenty

Sounds like you have had a good Sunday:D.
You ok:)

Well, I've had a look at replacing the abs ring, not a chance of getting the caliper off without taking the hub off and trying it in a vice. It's stupid 12 point nuts and they are more or less rusted round :(
If it fails MOT then I'll ask the garage if they can do the ball joints for me, i simply don't have the wherewithall right now.

MOT expires 6th, does than mean the 6th is the last day, or the 5th?

Heat. They're the ones with blue Loctite on. Need the proper socket too.

cheers, i assumed it was a standard bi-hex/12 point bolt.. either way its well rusted and I think it will end up being cut off :(

Is blue the permanent stuff? thought that was the one you could undo with normal tools
 
i've decided to buy 'another' ABS sensor. if it doesnt cure the problem, then i'll use it soon enough on the other side when I destroy that one trying to remove it.
 
Damm . . .Aspirator sensor seems to be overheating and reads 49degC in Nanocom. Consequently the HEVAC blasts out cold air on all but hottest manual setting. Tried blasting the aspirator with compressed air, but didn't help. Felt the back of the fan motor & it's definitely really hot.

Why do these things always happen in winter ?
