Eddie's has the mechanical ignition setup which is the norm for this age car, the flap style air Meter is the giveaway and no evaporative capture.

Ohh bloody hell I never noticed Robs had a missing Air Flow Meter... My 2.0i on G plate had an air flow meter, but Im sad to admit back then 10 years ago I took little interest in it.. like I would now!

These two will be interesting side by side at the next meeting ...

I hope, for you, that it's raining. Wearing an anorak in sunshine isn't a good look.

I will try to ensure that she is in a clean and tidy state for inspection!

Still hoping that all leave isn't cancelled for next week.

I have a large box of goodies ready to refresh the car with plus a good degrease and under bonnet clean. Closely followed by a session cleaning up and re-greasing all the electrical connectors!!!

When the anoraks have decided what is actually making my car go suck-bang-blow I would be interested to know if I have any immediate concerns!

Dear all,

Fresh photos of the underside of the old gal.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/27274672@ ... 246870425/

Scroll to the end.

Small area of rot by front floor pan/sill junction. Centre box looking a bit worse for wear, currently deciding whether to weld it or replace it. At least I know why she is sounding a little throaty.

Lots of various fluids leaking is assorted places to keep the front subframe from rusting!

Overall needs a good clean, weld, rust kill and recoat with a decent under treatment.

New window regulator sourced along with replacement O/S mirror (casing fine but inner all floppy and seems to be missing important spring clips :( ), handbook obtained from previous owner. Rear parcel shelf soon to be resprayed black.

Outer black trim to be treated with C4 renovator (£22 for 15ml!!!!) before and after photos will be provided.

If any of the anoraks spot anything interesting please let me know!
