Thought I would start a thread as I have started spending
Pics of when I first got it
First thing was new handbrake cable, new oil pressure switch, new engine mount this wasn't the cause of the vibrating...
New drivshatft where in order, after deciding not to risk second hand ones, managed to source some new ones in London...
£200 quid lighter 
Stuck some new bottom arms on why I was at it...
Also a new alternator had to go on...
Then a new alarm as it didnt have one....
That was that then I found out this car doesnt do any type of speed bump, this was off a small one
also been gorunded on a few which meant some temp undersealing
then some stupid woman decided to make her mark on it whilst it was parked up at Asda
Next up was an airbox as it's been running shite and had no iscv on it
Fitted
Found out the iscv is knacked so now it runs even worse, so a new one is on order and also found out 1 of the lambda
sensors was not connected so that wasnt helping with the shite running. All good until...
a core plug spat it's dummy out pissing water everywhere
Offending item
So gotta sort that next week when parts arrive, aswell as a new rocker cover gasket as it leaking oil on the belts and its
spraying everywhere.
Also rebuilt the front suspension as some idiot had put the bearings on wrong
Then I need 2 tyres and tracking sorting
So spends are upto nearly 1k in 4 weeks and got all this to do aswell as trying to get my Xsara vts fixed and set up
my own business... headaches.com
More updates next week
Dave
