Feel I should mention mines a 75 so, down on power to the 90 to start with and a single mass flywheel!
Anyway. Today I did some bits. First off, a fantastic refurbished wiper arm from @depronman arrived so it was on with that.
Whilst I had the scuttle off, I set about repairing the washer tubes that cracked and fell to pieces when I was doing everything else. Luckily some tube I had in the shed fit (with a bit of hot water!) but not so luckily, one of the jets has snapped off at the neck. They’re heated ones as well .
For now I’ve attached a tube and tied it off, so I can at least still use the drivers side one.
Next job was a service. I feel for context (and some light humour), I should include a section of the advert for this car.
Well, let’s dive into this.
Cosmetically “good condition”
You can see why I bought a service kit, despite the fact it says in the ad it’s “just been serviced”. And, sure enough….
Without a doubt the WORST filters I’ve ever pulled from a car. The last stamp the car had is from 2016, and I have no reason to believe it’s had any service since then.
I also did the pollen filter, which was equally grim and covered my carpet in foliage.
As a final bit of loving, I put some of the millers ecomax into the tank. I am extremely sceptical about such wonder potions, as well as the way people say the car feels “much better” after a service. However, took the car for a spin and it is noticeably smoother. Very happy.
Tomorrow I’m going to attempt a deep clean before I jet off for a couple of day.
