A visit to the local scrappy produced a sei washer motor, 2 pairs of clear side repeaters and a couple of spare wheel arch fixings
I pushed the boat out and bought a couple of inline valves - which cost as much as the scrappy bits.
Anyway, I fitted the sei washer pump (blocking off the extra feed with a short piece of tubing and a non return valve reversed) and after a bit of sucking and swapping of hoses finally got the front washers working again.
The rear washer then decided to pump but not spray water, after replacing another inline valve and a lot more sucking (glad I used fresh water but shouldn't have added the screen wash :yuck
Cinqy has two functioning everytime you press the button washers!
Last week I went into my local motor factors for some proper G3 cutting compound but they were out of stock. In desperation I went to Halfords and found they had a range of "G3" detailing gear on 3 for 2. I bought a clay bar, paint restorer, detailing spray and a pack of waffle pads.
I clayed (using the detailing spray as lube) and apart from the nice foam holder for the bar didn't really think it was an improvement on the bilt hamber one I've used before.
The paint restorer (using the waffle pads as directed) was a real disappointment, practically no cutting ability (though this was improved when using stockinette instead) and left the pinky patches on the paint work I was trying to remove.
Yesterday I used the real deal in a yellow bottle G3 with stockinette and what a brilliant product that is, instantly taking off the faded paint.
Followed by AG SRP and topped off with AG extra gloss protection I now have a really shiny cinqy
And the side repeaters were changed too:
Fleet shot:
I'm going to miss that massive drive
A few problem areas to address
Thought I might get some black mirrors of the scrappy sei.
I've seen new black bumpers for a reasonable price too.
Just leaves the cracked rear light to sort.
