Can't argue with that. Does spoil it though for genuine sellers

If you touch the sensor lightly with your finger, its should tick. No tick, no worky. Then bumper off, check the wiring and connections, test again. Still no tick. New/other sensor.
They can be a bit sensitive, pardon the pun, if they are a bit tight in the bumper hole. Of its been re painted for instance.

Only saw bits of it. Thankfully RVP's goal was one of the bits I did see

Oh, forgot the Tech II updates if possible.
And the rear blind.
Where will it end

Yes, mainly wear and tear, standard stuff. But it's things I had planned to do over time, not all at once! My own fault though

That's not a bad fall back all the same
Nope I was just looking at photos I posed of work done. Last year it had new brakes, new DIS pack. Year before, new rear shocks. Last 8 months or so it's had 4x new tyres and I think 2013 or was it late 2012, it had a new exhaust.
So it's largely in good shape, just not been used for about 4 months and needs a bloody good wash!
Sounds like it

Oil and filter change too. And a good wash as well.
There's always something!
Still considering getting rid of the 3.2?

General Car Chat / Spanner time?
« on: 13 June 2014, 14:12:56 »Right. I think the procrastination is over. Maybe. Perhaps.
My car has been neglected over the past several months, for a number of reasons. Partly because my efforts were put into the wee car we bought for our son, in tidying it up and sorting the mot ( albeit at the second attempt ), partly due to some pressures at home as my wife had injured herself, and perhaps mainly as I was deliberating over the future of the Elite. It's does need some attention and although I already have some of the required parts, I contemplated a change of Omega in an attempt to find a better one but I don't think that's going to happen now, as getting across the water adds too much cost to what may have been a 'bargain' to start with. May be better spending that money on getting across to one of our resident mechanics instead
So to the list of tasks -
Fix the Aircon - new condensor ordered today
New front pads and discs - parts are in the shed
Fit the lpg kit also lying in the shed
Cambelt change
Droplinks are done
Track rods perhaps?
Geometry setup
Investigate oil leak to front of engine
Paintwork - £300+ unless I can source replacement front bumper and wing. Not a priority.
Would like to refurb the door cards but that's not a priority either.
Should keep me (and you lot) busy for a while

Taxi al did a great write up when he painted his. Someone will have a link. Iirc you need to grind off the rivets and use small self tappers on reassembly.
It's something I think I'll be considering shortly.
