Erm, todays fun :)
Change the wood effect trim to carbon effect trim (cleaned the inside up no end, kinda taken a few years off the age of the car)
Replaced n/s speaker as it was a bit wooly and farting a bit. Only had the single connection so no tweeter however, i can live with that :)
and thats about it :)
Oh, and replace the spare 20amp fuse that i put in to mend the steering lol

All early vauxhall injection cars used to suffer knackered fuel pump relays

I'm a bit suspicious about relay box and ecu..

no way.. I'll dig deeper.. it must start at least at the second crank..

Check the idle valve and also check the throttle butterflies are fully closing.

I always try and was mine in the rain! The soft water doesn't leave any water marks, so no need to dry the car and less chance of marring the paintwork!!  :y

Be patient, several light coats and build it up. Get a can of blend from your local pint factors and spray it around the edge of the area youve sprayed immediately after spraying.Then a rub down with 2000 grade wet& dry dipped in soapy water.
Then repeat the process with a few coats of lacquer. I get acceptable results from spraying smallish areas using this method. :y


cheers albs... so the little and often approach  :y :y :y :y

Can go right off some people >:(

Mind you, we had to move to the shade yesterday lunchtime because it was too hot in the courtyard garden we were sat in for lunch :o

Took our little nephew up the coast for a picnic last night and we were still sat on the beach in shorts at nearly 9! :y
