Maybe I should treat the Vectra to a new cruise control stalk and radio aerial and base.

Just yes

Nice that it's fixed and that you're happy with the work. Merry Christmas Vectra!

It's all good progress. Excellent

I forgot to mention that I attempted to test fit the left headlamp. The beam alignment was a mile off. And then I realised that the glass lens was not fitted properly - it had slipped a good inch to the right from the light bowl. Looks like naff grey sealant was used to bond the glass to the bowl. ...

The girl seems very dedicated. She has already found a few issues with the offside outer CV joint - it is missing it's securing circlip. The comment was "I only had to touch the strut and it came apart from the joint" Yeesh!! No other news yet about the car, so hopefully no sheared bolts ...

Fingers crossed it's all nicely done. It maybe the start of a cracking adventure of Vectra C tinkering

Was being the operative word.. :/

Hello Bramble!

Hope you're all settling in well

Sorry Rob, missed this, sorry for your loss.

Nice, car part shopping is always fun
Can't wait to see them fitted.

Happy days! Repair over replace where possible.

Nice progress really

A bit belatedly it’s got another years MOT, though it’s spent most of the summer on axle stands trying to sort last year’s advisories out. I fitted used by me grooved rear discs & black diamond pads, whilst doing this I fitted the Goodrigde stainless braided flexible lines front & rear. Whi...

Interesting, sounds expensive that's for sure though.

Rather nicely done. So no standard ECU's and moved over to a the link module? Would love to know more about the wiring side of it

Neighbours are like everything else, good ones and bad ones sadly. Sounds like you're sandwiched between some asshats. Involve Environmental Health with your local council if the place is being treat like a scrap yard and is unsafe. Same with the dogs, if they are unable to control them, they should...

I wouldn't go removing material from the subframe, it'll weaken it significantly. and ultimately you'll be replacing it again.

Lanoguard is getting some good reviews for metal protection and after seeing it applied the other day, looks very easy to use.

Progress is progress Rob, and a happy surprise no doubt.

Not a fan of the vents, but hopefully they will serve a purpose?

The missus insisted that I got shut of the Yaris.
If I had kept it, then she would still be whinging now - lol.

I have no idea why VW parts cost so much.
As to why I pay - because the missus wants the van done.

Another theme emerging - lol.

Heh, I do feel bad about taking the Yaris off you, on occasion (but never for very long).
It'll come together, I personally will never understand why VW's command the money for parts that people pay though

Bonkers, it'll sort though. Anything is fixable

It's coming along Rob. It'll look great soon enough.

No worries, just noticed this one
We'll get some life breathed into the old Elonex at some point if you really want to
