Multipla Glopsy

Never bought a key on its own bud, I did go the the other way tho = change the complete set up : key and barrel, all door locks, ecu, blah, blah, blah,
Resulted in a greater understanding of the very best and most juiciest words of profanity, oh and knuckles that were sliced n diced to perfection.

It did mean I had a car back in use after the original key (one only) was lost. Plus, it was cheaper to go the long way than buy a Stealer Key.

Morning all, Glopsy is booked in for an MOT on the 15th,and today I'll be giving her the once over to see if there's any obvious fails I can rectify.
One thing that has just started is a whine from the aircon pump. I'm guessing that as the system has a leak somewhere,all the gas has escaped,taking the oil with it?
Apart from that, she's running well and a 50 mile commute in her yesterday has blown a few cobwebs out for sure.
Plans for when the MOT is hopefully passed will be a full service and Id like to hire a decent carpet cleaner and smarten up the interior,but that can wait until the weather warms up.
I'm still on the lookout for a replacement however,as she has lacquer peel on most panels now and the clutch needs changing,which to rectify is uneconomic for me really.

If the AC has no gas/oil in it the seals will dry up and it'll get to a point where it wont hold gas ever again. That can be a massive pain to sort so best to just get it filled up with gas even if you're not using it asap

Thanks Didge. I think we've gone way beyond that point already and when I regassed her a few years ago it all fell back out within 24 hours!

Happened on many of my old bangers over the years too!

Just heading out for the MOT. Fingers crossed!

Good luck :-)

Another year, another pass 😀

One advisory for band of corrosion on inner surface of front discs,which isn't surprising, as I've hardly used her recently.

Straight pass! Great result. The fix for the rusty discs is pretty easy too.
