14/04/2012: Drove up to S****horpe with a flatbed truck and picked up the blue baby. 55,000 miles on the clock, Skeete body kit and EFi conversion.
Issues: Non-runner, was advised problem with fuel relay. Sills need doing. Crack in rear bumper and some minor body work. Alloys need a VERY good clean, 1 alloy needs a refurb. Car needs a full valet (inside and out). Full service required.
16/04/2012: Looked at car properly, fuel relay and charge cooler relay are both rusted through, they work when pressed! Car turns over but does not fire. Ordered service bits.
18/04/2012: Got a text from Markey Mark, he nipped over and fitted a couple of relays I found. After a little messing around and we got the car to fire and run...
Brakes are stuck on, wipers don’t work, engine bay needs a good tidy up. Also, if sills need to be replaced, the kit will need to come off, work done, then kit back on, happy days!
21/04/2012: Full service done (oil, oil filter, fuel filter, coolant, spark plugs). Alloys: 30 little alloy bolts per wheel (proper rusted), each bolt cost about £1.50. 120x£1.50=£180... That’s for bolts alone. Going to get some elbow grease and see if that works first.
Tomorrow i'm going to try and sort the brakes out, although Mark advises as they are 2 or 4 pot (I can’t remember) they might be expensive (as expected). Get the wipers sorted, order low temp fan switch, plus a few other bits. Car booked in for a MOT at 4pm.
