done a lot today:

Firsly went to the scrap yard to get some bits, sorry markjay could not get your ash tray. Taxi Driver - I got a rear passenger ash tray, but the drivers side one was gone

- Got some ciggy lighter things though.

MadonVaux - I got your facelift mirror glass, mint condition no scratches or anything!!

MarksDTM - Sorry no headlight washers there...

I got a Vx Radio for a fiver, shoved that in ProjB.... does't work but makes the dash look a whole lot better.

Also i got a standard internal mirror and indictator stalk.... why?? - Well ProjB has an auto-dimming mirror so going to flog that on eBay ... unless anyone else wants it??

Decided to take the cruise stalk off ProjB and keep that for my facelift, many thanks to TheBoy for enabling my cruise!

Gave ProjB a good clean, inside and out. Bodywork came up a treat, bit of bumper to black stuff and should look good:

Lookin' nice. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Did you have a shopping list while you were there?

TheBoy · « **Reply #2 on:** 18 August 2006, 19:48:59 »

For what you will get for it, I would keep the mirror on Elite if you fix the seats. Also, keep the cruise on the Elite if it works... ...stalks aren't expensive second hand.

tunnie · « **Reply #3 on:** 18 August 2006, 19:54:54 »

Yup had a shopping list, I should have got the tesco trolly i saw in the ditch and walk around with that!!

I would't have thought people would notice, the guy who bought my '98 Reflection looked at the Aux belt and said...'cambelt looks good'

Cruise stalk is already on my facelift, tested & working.... again not sure if people would notice??

I am watching a Haynes book on eBay, can't find the manual lever for the leccy seats, all the connections seam good :-/

My view is that you blind potential buyers with all its different goodies...

You still insured on it?

Cheers Tunnie

I'll PM you.....meega's looking good [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Pity no alloys tho

IMO i dont think most people will notice things like cruise switch missing......
The Veccy i bought even tho a LS has got cruise......something i wasnt expecting.....or the auto tilt rear view mirror its got as well :-/ ...never noticed until after i bought it

TheBoy · « **Reply #7 on:** 18 August 2006, 20:06:45 »

So are you going to bring it round at some point, or do I have to come over there

TheBoy · « **Reply #8 on:** 18 August 2006, 20:07:56 »

Veccy-C LS comes with cruise as standard - not sure about the mirror though...

Would have thought so... but most of the eletrics are dead....

Its below the min mark...had been stationaly for a while, but i ran it for a few mins and checked again. But still low

Agreed about missing bits. I doubt anyone will notice the auto-dimming mirror unless they really know there elites.

Also i don't think it worked.... since most in of the leccy bits inside don't work.

tunnie · « **Reply #13 on:** 18 August 2006, 20:26:04 »

my aim is to re-coupe things like train fair and other bits by selling the valuble bits... that won't generally be noticed.

When i got ProjA i thought it would be better with numbers as not to confuse them with Ronnies (dunno how but made mine differnt)

Ermmm you could do phonetic? Alpha, Bravo, Charlie ect....

Or you could go like Eddie Stobart and name them after girls?? - Project - Nikki

Use letters and numbers like the United Federation of Planets do, a la NCC-1701D.

Or, Klingon?

Or even better, Scots....Nummer Wan.

forgot to say thanks..... not really much work, but i am tired now. - Just want the log book now.

Oil change, and perhaps some wyness tappet stuff to make the engine less noisey.... and job done!!

Markie · « **Reply #22 on:** 18 August 2006, 21:15:13 »

Oh i think project wife would skelp me hard and consistantly!!

Kev - Aldis in Airdrie shame i was at work - Instead of hanging around there as id love a good look at your car Kev

TheBoy · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 August 2006, 10:04:55 »

Tunnie, bring it round late morning, and we'll see if we can resolve some of the leccy problems...

tunnie · « **Reply #24 on:** 19 August 2006, 11:32:13 »

Why ?? Do you live that close or is it that noisy

TheBoy · « **Reply #28 on:** 19 August 2006, 11:45:07 »

Nearly 1/2 mile, so it must be noisy!

Though it is quiet up my end of town, so can hear any noise

Mate I don't mean to rock the apple cart, but just to let you know that, if I was a potential buyer, I would walk away from an elite without cruise

Might benefir you to leave it intact, and focus more on sorting the tapping - once that's done it looks tidy...

RonaldMcBurger · « **Reply #30 on:** 20 August 2006, 08:18:51 »

I agree with leaving the cruise on - if it is working, or remove it completely if it isn't. You could blag the cruise because it is a manual box - sort of. Rear mirror you can get away with.

TheBoy · « **Reply #31 on:** 20 August 2006, 10:43:40 »

I would leave cruise on personally. If you get the seats working, I would put the proper mirror back on as well (they are only £10 - £20 from ebay - theres one on there BIN £19.99)

tunnie · « **Reply #32 on:** 20 August 2006, 11:12:45 »

think you might be right, thinking about it when advertising an elite on autotrader, what can i list that would seperate it from a CDX or CD....

Think i will stick the cruise stalk back on, its slightly nakered anyway (constantant full beam does't work)

TheBoy · « **Reply #33 on:** 20 August 2006, 11:15:47 »

get yourself a decent stalk for your facelift....

I really like that Diesel one you gave me, it has a nice soft touch for indicating and all its main functions work. I take it there is no point trying to make it work for a petrol?

Nope, it would mean stripping the stalk completely, taking out resistor network etc. Sell it on fleabay - the diesell stalks aren't as common. (Buyer may need to get cruise enabled in ECU - never checked a diesel to see if preenabled or not)

Cheers, I thought you might have wanted it back, ta.

I'll flog it on eBay and hopefully with the money get a Petrol one

TheBoy · « **Reply #37 on:** 20 August 2006, 11:29:32 »

No, I don't need. Sell it to cover cost of proper stalk. At least we know you only need stalk, and that we got ecu enabled eventually...

Yeah, we kept programming it to say 'Cruise not Present'

Still want to go to the scrap yard today? - I still need that sensor and pump and the weather looks like its holding... just!

I'll prob go in a few minites if you want to come along?

I am watching a Haynes book on eBay, can't find the manual lever for the leccy seats, all the connections seam good :-/

There is no manual lever, you should have a bit of kit; like a little brace; for moving the seats when the electrics aren't working.
