So what have you done to your car today?

[John-R]

Posted separate about this, but I finally removed the Power Sounder and hit it with a hammer.
Batteries actually looked OK - no leaks - but as advised by EVERYONE on here - time it went after it started beeping when ignition switched off.

Secondly. I want to prevent my coil pack from disintegrating from the usual water drips from the scuttle.
I notice the bottom seal on the windscreen has come away which I believe may not help the problem.
What's the best stuff to use to re-seal it ?

It's a 3.2 Elite saloon, which needs a bit of work.  A good friend of mine has been after one for a while, but doesn't have a very big budget, so I'm hoping to get it back up to it's former glory and then let him have it.

Mot was today by the way.

One assumes it may have passed?

Apparently using the hammer on it is quite satisfying

Swapped battery on the Cavalier for a freshly charged one again.Fresh one is now flat as a witches tit a few hours later.Looks very like I have a battery drain to track down. Shouldnt be that much on  Diesel to drain the battery I wouldnt have thought.
Removed the dispack from the breaker.
Drove my own Omega,and wondered what the humming noise is which seems to be coming from n/s/r,which goes away when the brake pedal is depressed.Sticky caliper/worn pads/handbrake shoes or linkage come adrift and stuck somewhere ?
Not a good day all in.Nothing constructive achieved really.
Also spent quite a while in supermarket car parks,which never exactly cheers me up.

Glowplugs? Not unknown for the contacts in a diesel's glowplug relay to weld themselves together.

Might be worth a look,thanks. Im a newbie with diesels tbh.

As it's a Cavalier i'd check the boot lamp switch.

[albitz]

Will check that too,cheers.
