Gotheschu 1 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) SHIIITTTTTTT My rangi fix at Hampton, has finally given in. Leaking from the top and from my rangi joint. Lol check out the colour of the water coming out. Needs a coolant flush. Cured all the rust on the top of battery plate but then realised there was more on the chassis rail... Exhaust banging on sway bar, needs to be bend down. Rust repair on inner sills. Look how secure this is =) The hose in question.. Anyone got a spare I could buy? My little list....

CamB 48 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 I'm not sure that a reverse lamp is REQUIRED. Its "permitted" equipment. Having said that, arguing with the wof guy isn't usually worth the effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea. He's good, just wants to be thorough with the car and I want that to be honest. I know I can go get a WOF easy from some other place down some back road but I wanna do it right the first time to his standards ( which seem to be high ) so if I get pulled over the cop won't have anything on me.Thanks Andy. Will talk soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gotheschu 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Coolant hose from Hampton replaced and rust coloured water bleed into the system ( not healthy ). Bump Stops back in the rear. Front drive coupling needs a impact gun. Nuts been in there for 20 years. Need some front shocks. Some small rust work to clean, oh and gotta get reverse and that damn left headlight going. WOF TOMORROW....... HOPEFULLY =DDDDD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gotheschu 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Ok Just looked under the gearbox I have no wires or anything electrical near the gearbox and the switch just isn't there. I think I see where it plugs in but yea nothing close to it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 How did he even see the guibo? it's covered up by a metal sheild... Unless you've removed it? Also, are you using two spanners to get the guibo off? some of that rust looks like you could clean up ez, get like a wirebrush wheel and a power drill and get rid of it, then cover it in rustkiller paint stuff.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Ask nicely if he'll reconsider. It says plainly that reverse lights are optional equipment.That is true, but it also say's that items which are fitted must be functional. So the fact that there are reverse lights in the back of the car means they should be working.If you are lucky Jack you might get away with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotheschu 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 Authority card and clubsport license arrived today. =) Spent all day getting the parts, THANK YOU RAY FOR THE front shocks. Got to Jim Lovich's at 3. Had a hoist to myself, and managed to teach myself how to remove the whole front strut. Yes the whole section haha. Both front shocks were really f**ked but in now. Then got the front drive coupling in. Was a massive rush so no photos but WOF tomorrow as we ran out of time today. Will go see someone else to see if I can get off easy with the car. Just need to get the headlight working. And the blower which just won't work even with factory switch. Was heaps of fun driving it in the rain again with fogged up screen haha. See you all Monday hopefully!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
