ricochet

Woo Hoo! Can't wait!

Had the use of Hydraulic ramps in the late summer so crawled under to see state of play. ( a little worried by posts on here). Didn't look to bad at first so i decided to treat some obvious areas . However without a plan i went at it a bit hit and miss. The front X member looked shabby so i rubbed it down as best i could approaching it from all angles and letting son volunteer to do some. Cleaned as much up as possible and then treated with Rustins Rust Converter (hastily bought from local Toolstation). Then painted with black Hammerite which was to hand. Of course all this took at least twice as long as i thought it might ( doesn't it always). When dry i sprayed Dinitrol 1000 cavity wax via extension tube inside the member and all over the exterior. Lots more fiddling/fettling done to varying standards but i did notice many holes/apertures disappearing up into who knows where . Should i be thinking of spraying something oily/waxy into all these ? Or might that be a problem, there was a tube inside one of the holes.? Certainly More to do in the spring. Cheers, JC.

davey-83, why dont you think they are directional? 'OUTSIDE' is stamped on the tyre wall........ ps keep waxing those seats....... and i regret missing the last meet, if i had known all this would happen....... regards jc.

Standard size Uniroyal RainSport 3's all corners cos i like the tread pattern, also it says 'Shark Skin Technology' on the side wall so they must be good.

Probably, but it hasn't caused a problem before. I am having a lesson in clamp meter use tomorrow. all that support for a University education is about to pay off. only about 20mA drain at most, deffo a poor RAC battery. I'll call the RAC out and see what they have to say.

I have o throttle controller SP1, plugged into the diagnostic socket , it was therewhen i bought the car. I bought a mini clamp meter Uni T 210ut but i couldnt get any info from it , maybe i couldnt understand the instructions. Battery prob, will call out RAC i think, but if it is i wont have one of their batteries again.!

keeps flattening. buying a current clamp meter to see if theres any current drain at rest, , thats if i can understand the instructions. jc

Sorted. removed strip completley , cleaned it and the recess which it sits in , applied a thin bead of u pol Tiger seal in the gap and pushed the trim back in without sliding it around having positioned it carefully , only a small amount on the roof .... quickly wiped off. pleased with that, thanks Alex.

indeed not difficult even for me , found a fuse box under there!
