luckily my mate runs a body shop so i booked it in for a bit of paint work!

whilst i was digging around underneath i found a tiny hole in the o/s inner seal by the trailing arm mount. should ahve left it alone i picked and picked and picked some more till it was about 14" long!!

so i had to weld that up got it all welded up in a bit of primer
took it back to the mot station and dave found that the inner arches had seperated from the outer!

stripped again and stiched back together all checked over by the inspector

got it back from the paint shop wednesday last week looks beautifull
took it up the test station monday.

drove like a dream parked up

right test time would`nt start(i could`nt believe it) i quickly grabbed the jump pack and stuck it on the wrong terminals. what a twit shows what happens when you rush!

quickley wipped it off and it started BUT i thought i`d blown an earth when ever i put my hazards on all my lights dipped sides/heads mains the lot.

my eldest started scholl last week and she`s adiment i pick her up so my free hours are severley cut

not having much choice i stuck the car into the old guy we used to use. he rang me up and told me the alternator had been fried.
plausable thereo go on kenny do you magic

picked it up yesterday and he said give it a good blast up the m/way she`ll be ok

so i did took it straight up the mot bay after and t still did it i stuck a new battery on her just in case and double double checked the earths.

still no good, i`ve litrualy just got in and i`ve found that if i run a wire striaght from the battery to the light switch constant live it stops it enough, so ill wire it like that for the mot tomorrow and when i strip it over the winter do some wiring replacment and some upgrades, as it must have damaged the auxilliery loom off teh starter motor.

on the good side looks like ill make it to donny this weekend
just the ticket and cambelt to go

oh and i still havent got my hands on a fuel sender unit
anyone got one?

ill take the camera out with me tomorrow
