Had a problem with front passenger door not locking with the central locking, discovered it down to a dry linkage, sprayed it with wd40 and all sorted.

The door card looks like its been getting a bit damp.

So with the aid of some duck tape and a bin liner the door has been sealed.

Fitted the boost gauge this morning, looks a bit lonely.

Then this afternoon gave her a wash (first one in over 10 years) the paint work on the bonnet & roof is a bit rough, it was like sand paper and it can stay that way. Just wanted to wash the grim and tree sap off didn`t scrub to hard so moss is still growing in certain areas. Where the paint work has worn throu on the boot I`m just going to lacquer over it (it called character

)

You really should take a power washer to that moss. It will eventually damage the window rubbers.

Love the "distressed " look though!

The 240 has been on the road now for 2 months,

Had a couple of hickups,

It had a miss fire when boosting above 5 psi which was caused by a faulty coil, fitted a new coil and now boosting to 10 psi with no problems.

The flexi fuel line to the fuel rail came apart, Had a stainless fuel line made up.
