Hmmm change the front springs and shocks,sort the sticking caliper, new brake hoses, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brake limiter, possibly the servo, steering column stalks, rear light lens, fix the sidelights, change the hazard warning switch, get the alloys refurbed and new tyres. patch a few holes up, new wiper blade, change the oil and filters, new top hose and new antifreeze, change gearbox oil, but most important get some decent speakers for the stereo!!!

Not much done of late as my dear old Mum who has been ill for some time has passed away so it will be a few weeks till everything is sorted...however E55 EBL had a late Christmas pressie to smarten the alloy wheels up with... a set of 4 new centre caps from Ebay.

update
Just so the Y10 would not sulk I made an effort and started it up yesterday and had fun doing 3 point turns in the unit...boy the steering is heavy as I think some or all of the brakes are sticking on. I ran it long enough for the temperature gauge to reach the middle setting and the rad fan to cut in so should be OK for now.

The steering is heavy at manoeuvring speed. I ran my Fire on the original 135 section tyres for a long time which helped.

had a quick go at sorting the brakes so I can get the car moved...took the calipers off so I can clean and overhaul them when I noticed a split CV boot but I can leave this till the car gets home as I don't have a full set of tools on site

Thank goodness for Ebay I was looking to buy a caliper as one was well seized and managed to get a new? one for £8 plus delivery result...should get the brakes sorted over the weekend and possibly get it trailered down to Scarborough next week. With the airline I blew out the other piston cleaned it up some new seals and we are good to go

Hmmm...can't get the bolt out that holds the clip that fastens the flexi hose to the hub...also the brake pipe is held onto the body by a cable tie I think there should be a clip that locks the flexi cable to the bracket in the wheelarch...as well as that the copper brake pipe has corroded to the banjo thing and the whole lot is turning so will have to give it a bit of heat...really wanted to get the brakes back together so I could move the car as I will be starting my exam marking in a couple of weeks...Arrgh

There's a metal "P" clip that bolts to the strut to hold the brake flexi pipe. I'll try and get a picture for you.
