You want Sikaflex 221 or 255, not that stuff which is designed for fitting windows to houses.

That or Tigerseal or Wurth Bond & Seal

Today I have removed both front door cards, and screwed the plastic retainingg strips to the door card, using small chipboard screws.
Had to do this on all three cars now, but at least the cards are now solid at the top and those confounded locking knob rattles are gone. Got it off to a fine art now :y

Finished the condensor on the 2.5, dropped one of the copper washers for transmission cooler and had to pay £7 for a set in Halfords so I could finish it! Grrrr

Sat in ATS watching the refrigerant go in, so hopefully that part of the job is gas tight!

Fitted my new bonnet struts, as I can't be arsed to change the strut bearings.
At least the bonnet stays up now.
I'm probably going to make an adapter to try my oil pressure gauge on the Omega next.
Although I might get a call to help with a Capri gearbox, which will be worth a couple of beers.

I had a hunt around, but seem to have missed the winter offers - £45 here. Not sure I checked F1 though  :-\

Re-fitted the lowered suspension with spring assisters on the rears to help when the caravan is on... won't bottom out quite as much now :)

Ready for the summer season now, just need to wait for a cool day to give it a wash - clay bar - wash and polish :)
