Was going to clean the turbo and check the front end suspension for any play. Checked the front end suspension, all checks out so can only presume that the rattle sound I hear over speed bumps is coming from the back end.
On jacking the car up noticed a leak, as to get a better look at it needed to take the front bumper off. Pretty straight forward until a bolt rounded off, out came the drill!
Turns out the leak is from the air con system, looks to be a very slow leak and given that summers now been and gone I’m going to forget about it until next year.
Taking the other half’s passion wagon to work tomorrow (a Vauxhall Zafira with an animal related private reg plate) as my cars currently sat on the drive looking like this:
Tomorrow on getting home the plan is as follows:
- Turbo clean
- Kurust on some rust patches on the sill and front arches plus any underbody spots of rust, may purchase some waxoil if I get chance.
- Treat and paint the front wheel hubs, rears are done just hadn’t got round to doing the front.
- Clean and re-touch up the front Calipers
- Jack up the rear and check for any play in the suspension.
Looking at the above it may be a couple of evenings.
Edit: In addition to the above, took out those dam foam pads that sit in the arches.

I strongly dislike taking public transport so left with my car which does give me some personal time with her... I will ask the car park to take good care of her lol
so I may be letting her go but her legacy will haunt me for a few years lol
