Renovation process 2003

  • April 2003 – replace drivers window winder – sealed winding unit jammed open. Left hand light setup was checked as the wiring for it was playing up again.
  • July 2003 – gear box oil changed.
  • August 2003 – replaced fuel tank breather pipe. [nasty smell of petrol was coming into the car especially on cornering.]
  • September 2003 – Water pump failed and was rattling like crazy – New water Pump and new radiator core installed, New rear accumulator sphere [was leaking nitrogen- down to 1/3 pressure], back brakes were dirty and needed adjustment, and the very effective A9 was added to the Hydraulic system to flex it up a bit. Also the Fuse mounts were completely cleaned up to ensure better contacts. The high and low beams were erratic and would sometimes light up and sometimes not.
  • December 2003 – Right hand front suspension rubber boot replaced. Pivot ball and knuckle cleaned. A9 treatment added to engine oil.
