Well, you may have read some of my late adventures on other posts (VIS motors, Sat Nav CD reader & Instrument pack), but I'm glad to say that lots of problems have been sorted hopefully.
Thursday & Wednesday morning what a brilliant job made by my skilful mechanic who painstakingly laboured during 14 hours for the princely sum of £400:
- swapped the intake hose & sheath
- swapped the low motor silent block
- swapped the engine radiator (the new Nissens a bit thicker than the old one) and renewed the coolant
- swapped the 4 shock absorbers for TRW ones
- swapped the balance VIS motor (MKE 100110)
- corrected the handbrake and equilibrated the rear drum brakes as well
- corrected the left fog lamp
- changed both front indicators
- arranged the low protection plaque (1 bolt missing beforehand)
And I saw the pictures he took: taking off the old radiator and putting the new one in place was a very PITA job!
But the best was the swapping of the shock absorbers. The old ones were dreadfully dead and the change makes a massive, gigantic & enormous difference! What a comfort now!
I hope now the 75 will be at her very best.
