Week 54 - The Build

 Getting to the end now! First job of the week is to disable the front and rear windscreen heater circuits. I have the cables for the front ones but the ones for the back seem to have disappeared somewhere. I've solved the problem by removing the fuses. No9 for the front and 33 for the back.Here is a diagram of the fuse box...


and here it is in real life with the fuses removed...


Next job is to check all the suspension and engine mount nuts and bolts are all tight. This went well until I came to the offside front strut which appeared to have some slack in the top mount. Oh dear. The top mount is in front of the dashboard and under the windscreen wiper motor. It's now completely hidden so it's eithrt remove the dashboard or ...


lay into it with a wireless angle grinder to reveal the bolts!



All tight now!

Last job of the week was to get the brakes and emisions tested. All good and here is a video of the end of the brake test.


And finally, and by popular demand, is a quick video recap of the engine room with the cover removed.
