Yay.. TWiR is back home. Certainly a different beast now in terms of driving but no chance to really test as friday evening M4 was pants. Not helping is the fact that the idler bushes need replacing so it is truly a wanderer at the moment. Just ordered a pair of those superpro bushes from the link on another post.
Can't really say enough about the guys at Hayward Rotary. Apart from the detonation issue ( leading and trailing coil leads were connected incorrectly and then the ignition advanced / retarded up against the stops to compensate.. oh dear), most of the to do's on my list were electrics and Ian is a star troubleshooter. The windows now go up and down. This would not usually excite me much but the assemblies were both removed, stripped, cleaned and greased. So it's ok to get excited about up and down things because the motors that power them go round and round so the rotary gods are happy.
The fuel gauge now works, another bodge job rectified. The rear wash / wipe now does exactly that and the hazard lights happily flash away. A few more gremlins have surfaced in the fault tracing process so questions will appear in the appropriate sections shortly.
The brakes were stripped, greased and refitted as TWiR has done only a few hundred miles in the last four years. New filters and fluids as she's happy for now. Photos soon as it's too dark now.
if you truly love your car, you should treat it to the experience.....really......go on.......do it now!!
