So the Zed got a thorough clean inside and out yesterday as it had been SORN in a barn for a good few months.
She has 97k on her which for an 04 plate I am really happy about. She is very leaky. I've ordered an oil filter housing gasket and a rocker cover gasket. Valve cover looks fine for now. I intend to change the serpentine and drive belts while doing the oil filter housing gasket as I will be pulling the belts out the way to do the gasket from what I can see.
The gear knob is uber impressive....it can do a 360 degree spin haha so that needs attending to or replacing.
My obd2 scanner can't do srs/airbag faults, but from the initial test drive, the clock spring being the steering wheel clicks when turned between 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock so I am suspecting that is the culprit behind my warning light. Will need to source a replacement.
Some kind person has decided to de-badge both indicator lights...am I right in saying this means new indicator units required? I think they come as a job lot don't they?
Headlights are in a terrible state. I am going to refurnmb them today and see if it makes a difference. If not, looks like I may need to replace.
There is an intermittent bulb light comes up on the dash. I cannot suss exactly what it is. That said, the wife had a short run in it yesterday evening and then parked up outside and started playing with buttons. She noticed that the indicators work but the hazard warning lights don't. Is this a "thing"?
Could do with sourcing a new steering wheel for her at some point. Also, the interior door handles could do with either respraying or replacing.
Car is staying on the drive till the gaskets are done as she is seriously low on oil and still dripping.
1300 quid though...and only one bit of lacquer peel and a fully functioning roof. Surely none of the above is going to be too much to sort?
