Took the boy to Leominster in the 90 for a mini rugby tournament at Luctonians. Nice steady run in the sunshine having scraped the frost off the screen first thing.

A very helpful RAC Sarah came to the rescue. And we toolk the auxilliary belt off.
THe idler pulley had seized completely and stopped the engine turning over. So whilst I was waiting for the RAC I ordered a replacemnt on line which hopefully will be here for a fix during the week. At least I had the new seats to sit in whilst I waited in comfort! CC |

Changed my rear springs for new genuine, new spring seats fixings etc and Spring isolators top and bottom of the springs.
Will be doing the front shortly when I've got a few more bits. Again the front will have the same and D44 turrets. Glad I did it, needed doing and of course found more corrosion traps up under the upper Spring seat you can't get at. Assembled everything with Dinitrol. Pleased with today's efforts, very hands on. |

Finally fitted the improved front door seals that have been waiting patiently in my garage.
Hope these will stop the draughtiness and the comments from SWWBO. |

I was going to but sadly didn't get the time nor did I want to Dinitrol the iPad with mucky hands. It was easier than I thought though, but takes time. |

^^^^ I'm interested too but, improvement or not I couldn't justify the price just for the sake of it.
What I finished today: Not very good photos but you can just about see. Just the rear done for now for a week or two. New genuine parts, springs, top and bottom isolators, inc rear wrap around upper isolators. Spring seats, retainer bars and fixings. Finished off with Dinitrol. Front to do in the next week or so. Fitted everything wet assembled with Dinitrol where I could. Very messy! Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |
