Finally got the MV6 back :)
« on: 25 June 2007, 12:24:54 »
Been a long time gone, with its water leak (torrent) and a few other bits, but got it back last night, gawd I've missed it.
Jobs Done:
Cam Covers - Didn't know they were so bad, but plugwells all full of oil,
New Plugs
New Oil Cooler, seal dodgy on old one, cooler itself rusting, so a future job now done.
Thermostat resealed - Seemed to be the problem, but possibly a few small leaks.
New gaskets and o'rings all the way
Changed the Front brake disks and pads
Brake Fluid Change
Oil and Filter Change
Adjusted Headlight aim up a bit

I'd forgotten how nice it was to drive, a lot smoother than when it went as well.
Fair bit of smoking from the cam covers now, presume that will disappear in a week or so as the crap gets burned off.

MOT next month,  
When he is going to also replace the Diff seal and change the Diff oil
Replace the fuel filter.
Fit my new front vacuum tank so the multiram is fixed.

Need to top the coolant up a bit, must have been some air in the system, praying it doesn't leak again.
Just need the rain to stop now so I can treat it to a bubble bath and wax.

Bad news is that I'm back in the office now as no need to work from home.

Too right, and you should have seen littleuns face when I got home yesterday!

Daddy's Car! Daddy's Car! Daddy's Car! Daddy's Car! Daddy's Car!

Then Ride in Daddy's car!.... Had to oblige, then he starts on fast fast fast, and ready steady GO, so had to oblige again ;)

Good to have it back, have had to top the coolant up once, but hopefully just settling and air coming out.

Funny how much you miss them when you haven't got it.
I'm driving a new-ish Fiesta this week  :-/ & can't wait to get back in mine  :)
