Category: Aero Top Progress

So I am amused today… having had no power mirrors for two years I had accepted that my dash loom swap was the issue and that I had probably missed a connection.

I had thought of leaving it but my ocd got the better of me and having found the wiring diagram I set out to solve it…

Only to find…….   no fuse……lord knows where it went or why I certainly wouldn’t have taken it out and not replaced it…. but what ever the reason was I now have power mirrors back… 

Here’s a nice picture of the car to celebrate my dumbness.

I have found a few annoying stone chips that I am going to get sorted. 

Summer jobs.

Replace aero seals.

Mod or replace the roofs parking lock as its rounded off.

Replace the front 2 aero roof screws.

Replace seat motor.

Attempt to regas AC

And try and find out why my mirrors dont work. (I know this is to do with my dash loom swap……..so im thinking i missed a connector) i have no idea where they are and to be honest im not going to take the dash out again to find it seeing as only i drive the car i have them where i want them. DONE 11/04/21….it had no fuse…

Refurb the ignition barrel and re install so i can go back to having one key. 

All fitted up looks nice and sounds great.

Got a guy working on my new boot install. test fitted everything today and it all works out.

Got my skuttle dipped. 

Not been out since the snow it seems my roof bolts are working a little loose while driving. So on Monday I will order some new ones and change them out with the aero seals when it gets warmer 

All done. Looking how faded the sun screen was I suspect that it was the original screen.

So decided to take her out from her winter slumber today just get her nice and hot, poodle round and come home. Under the frost I found this.

Nice new windscreen incoming. I will see if they will back off when it’s out so i can seal the offending foam showing at the front of the dash.

Tcb package arrived with my new aero seals. 
 

Will probably wait for better weather before attempting these 

So today’s mission was to replace the 3 pin resistor that runs the indicators. Due to fitting leds in the front side and front housings they where running way to fast. 
 

Screw that job…. the only way to access it was to get upside down in drivers side wedge a torch and attempt to get my had half way up the dash. The offending item is right at the very tip top of the footwell fuse box. 
 

A good hour later I now have normal flashing indicators 

And she’s passed. Only note was some slight cracking in the rubber on the ns tyre
