OK today has been a productive day, despite my on-going soaring temperature (it's reached 107 today, let's just say I think my body has blown a gasket...)
Anyhows:
In summary, I have done today:
Both front door cards, which included un-doing the additional wiring for the courtesy light.
I have then got bored of the door cards (haven't done the rear ones) and thought let's do some trim....
Taken off the rear boot trim, both the little one that runs along the rear quarter window with a grille looking on top, the rear side panels too (where the speaker/tweeter is)
Put on the beige seat belt for the middle row (OS)
Some idiot took off the seat belt D (which is just under said grille looking trim), thinking it was for the middle seat belt.... Only to discover no, it was actually for the rearest row of seats... so said trim will have to come back off to re-fit the seat belt...
Not bad progress for a woman who isn't feeling too well today...
On other news, Miss Pug hasn't been started for a week or so, she really didn't feel right on tick over this afternoon.
I have to fit these spark plugs and I suspect a coil pack may need doing. Hoping these spark plugs sort the problem.
(It's like she's trying to stall. It sort of feels like there isn't enough fuel getting through. I revved at over 3000 rev, she seemed fine, but as soon as I took my foot away she begged for me to come back. Very very nearly cutting out completely. the rev needle went down to 0.5 rev, maybe a bit below...)
By the way, what is normal tickover for a 2.0 petrol?
Now, let's hit you with some pictures - Some will of seen on my FB the 'before and after' shot... I nearly forgot to take the before shot, you can see I had already got started taking it all apart
Before & After (Passenger front)
I took this photo so I knew which way round the electric mirror electrics went...
Before:
Passenger side: You can see the additional electrics for the light all neatly tucked away. That tape was evil to get off, sticky wasn't the word...
Now, my drivers side door card had been lose for a while - turns out it HAD been taken off before. Who ever put it back didn't put it on PROPERLY. Same person also slashed the white stuff (I can't remember what's it called, evap stuff?)
My trick of the trade at the moment is black insulation tape....
I had to try and patch it back up, it made me depressed to see it in such a state.
Rear pillar (as a moment of madness I did think to myself, If I strip the seats and all this crap trim - how much FASTER would she go!)
Here is where I would be interested to hear from other BEIGE from FACTORY owners:
Are all the lower trims in yours grey? I understand from the chap I got these from that the front dashboard is grey in all beige cars - and the glovebox too. However, the boot to me doesn't look right, is there beige panels in yours? If so, where?
The change over
Is that the name of this colour of beige?
Now off to literally, CHILL, I may just have to stick myself in someones freezer, who has a chest freezer?
Thanks to FarmerPug, whose videos help me no end, especially the door card removal.
Also, a thanks to Stu who phoned me to advise how to put the door card on - and told me I had to remove the triangle plastic behind the mirror.
