Didn’t do much today. I watched the Italian GP. Well done Lewis but where did Perez get that late race speed from?
Anyway after the GP had finished I cleaned a bit more of the car’s interior. AG Vinyl & Rubber Care on the plastic dashboard parts and then AG Leather Care on the leather part of the seats. She is starting to look really quite good inside.
Went systematically through the fuses to try and find which one has blown but they all look ok to me. The drivers handbook says that there are “pictograms” against each fuse. I can see them on 3 of them but not on all. Note to self. Download the workshop manual at earliest opportunity.
Have sourced a secondhand rear top arm ball joint but won’t be able to get it for a fortnight. I shall speak to Alfie and book her in for the suspension rebuild for the following week. The rear suspension squeak is really annoying especially now the engine problem is fixed and I want to jump in and give her a good drive. Acceleration is awesome and the engine pulls really well but the fuel consumption is heavy to say the least.
Some of the suspension parts are a bit corroded so will be getting them shot blasted and repainted as part of the rebuild.
