Replaced the other rear sway bar link, removed more redundant LPG stuff in the engine bay, cleaned the purge valve, cleaned the idle control thingy and installed NGK iridium plugs.

Did a bit of this:

Found a lot of this:

Ended up ripping off this:


Great day at Glasshouse, puts me a lot closer to replacing the rear bar than planned. Light clusters are intact, so my mate (S2,V8) will be very happy as he needs one!

I fixed my difficult to open driverside door by adjusting the length of the actuating rod that connects the outside handle to the internal lock assembly.

The door now smartly "pops" open like they woulda done in the showroom - no tugging on the handle anymore.......

happy days are here again

This is what I might need to do to my passenger side door - how difficult of a job is it to do?

Not difficult just a little fussy geting the door trim off and back on. Less fussy is the adjustment itself......however I discovered inadvertently that it's a little simpler (only a little) than what the original poster (cappedup) wrote up. This will make sense after you view the vid but in short you can ignore unclipping the actuator rod at the top and screwing the rod out of the lower connector because this lower connector is in two halves, hinged and clipped closed - you only need open the connector reposition the rod and secure the connector closed. Now close and open the door to test and adjust the actuator rod length as necessary.

The 2 pics below that I took showing the lower clip open and closed...

Decided to replace the air suspension filter behind the LH rear tail light today. Pulling the old one apart, the foam looked in pretty good nick after almost 14 years but when I went to wash it it literally fell apart. While I was there I also replaced both upper tail lights with some NOS items from the spares cupboard as the existing ones has a couple of small cracks.



Finally Charlie got his Christmas present early this year.... A nice shiny ARB bar. Clear coat was going on the end caps and black plastic was cracking. Overall it was not a lot more expensive than a new plastic bumper and repainting the end caps.
