Clearly I’ve been working today, but after work I cracked on with a few hours’ work – got the sumpguard off, changed the oil, changed the gearbox oil, changed the water (with new antifreeze), plus fitted a new temperature switch for the fan – ?13, but better safe than sorry.<\/p>\n
Had a few things to fix, number one was the fact that the heater blower didn’t work at all. Which caused all sorts of issues, and could have meant a total dash removal. Fortunately it was as simple as plugging it back in, under the bonnet! Nice.<\/p>\n
The rattle that was present (when the throttle was put on or taken off) turned out to be a bolt that had worked loose in the gearbox mounting, so that was easily fixed.<\/p>\n
Next up, some little things, including making sure the service crew were still coming and the van is still available – both are OK, which is good news indeed. Then to make up nav lamp #2, a nifty LED-based one with red that’s always on with the lights, and white that’s switchable. This is half done now, ‘cos I’ve lost the pigging red LEDs!<\/p>\n
On the upside, I have managed to get a nice new steering wheel and hub, rather than the standard one, so it’ll look a bit more like a rally car inside and actually steer a lot better, and perhaps most importantly, the logbook has arrived! It actually arrived yesterday, which means the MSA turned it round same day, so a big thanks to them – I had a receipt which I could have used at scrutineering, but I’d much rather have a proper logbook.<\/p>\n
Oh, and I woke up at 5am. Which sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
