Mán is there no end to the mods????
Adrian is having the best of weathers.
Met him on the beach; I suggested a quaint chiringuito, like 40 years ago and the last of that breed. You sit under a century old tree, just beyond the flood line but still feet on the sand. Want to sit in the sun, shade, half shade? Pick your choice. Véry enjoyable indeed.
On the mod. front still sourcing OEM mounting bases.
Driving up and down between the coast and mountains a bit much, took the highway twice. Because of the weight I took out, the car now sits rather high on the springs and the combination of a raised cog and softer springing does a power of no good to the stability through long, undulating corners at speed.
The solution seems obvious; lowering springs but, there is a big BUT as those are stiffer too whereas my car is líghter.
Need to ponder a bit about that, but if I am to order a set of springs I´d best get some new gaiters too.
Right, cleaned the pcv-valve.
Simple job so .... sómething will go wrong.
The valve looke nicely clean, no crud, no oil but did not move freely; was stuck.
First spray wd40, check rear gaiters.
Now spray oven cleaner.
Check front gaiters.
Clean the valve and presto; moving as new.
The lightest wipe of sealant and in it goes.
So what went wrong then?!
The rubber hose was split :(
Cut it just beyond, so had to reroute it and ... it split again (:< >:)
As it is a real pita to change all the way, tightly taped it and it sits pretty again.
Ok, the shock gaiters.
Three ok, one split. Never mind, an all round change when I fit/mod the springs makes sense anyway.
...and the lady in red
