Guest rodge Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The bulb holder is yet to be delivered. Got today off work, it's not raining, and there is a cabbie and some tools outside waiting for me. 8 hours of tinkering, her I come!

gingergman Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 well done on servicing her mate! indicators look much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rodge Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 The bulb holder did NOT fix the problem of no rear tail light on the offside. So, owing to the fact that this does not work, the dash lights do not work, the windscreen washer pump does not work and the radio wires have disappeared, I'm sending her to an Auto-Electrician this week to sort her electronics out and fit my radio. Dont really want others working on it, but hey ho, theres no other option with my limited time. Then, one hopes, MOT time! Dave, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rodge Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi, I've been away for a while as there has been tons to sort out on my other cars and the cabbie as and when time permitted. The good news is, that on Wednesday I will collect her from the garage with a full MOT. It's 99.9999999% there, just got a bad earth and the wheels need balancing. I've booked Wednesday off work and im praying for sun! Just got to tax it when I pick it up then I can go for a drive. However, I need a new bonnet, preferably one without rust and if at all possible a bad boy one. Anyone have one spare or know someone with one??????

gingergman Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 yes mate ive got one, i replied in my breaking topic, but, rust free, with vents, £40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rodge Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 FINALLY got my cabbie ont he road! Taxed and Tested. Although this now throws up new problems like the wobbling all over the place as I'm going down the road. Going to have the wheels re-balanced to see if that helps. I dont expect it to be like driving a new car, but I'm sure it shouldn't be this bad?? I'll get some up to date pics on soon as I've been combating the rusty bits lately. Long may this weather continue :-) Dave, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started the sanding down last night, which is something I am not that good at. will post pics when I have sanded down and rebuilt the back end.

Guest rodge Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Can anyone tell me what the proper name for the rubber things on the bottom of the windows is and where I can get a new set as mine are beyond gone. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 do you just mean the rubber seals that sit against the glass on the doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
