The initial pictures are in my intro thread, so I won't re-post those, but will start from what I did when I got home from work, which is sort out the loud drone coming from the vanity light. Having owned late 90's PSA chod before, I know the unmistakable sound of a clagged up climate control fan...
So when I got home from work, I grabbed a torx driver and bought it all indoors
This looks promising...
Delightful. Handily the fan unit doesnt pull right out short of de-soldering the sensor, but it does pull out enough to remove the fan and cotton bud the crap from inside of the housing
Whilst I had them all in I cleaned the contacts, lenses and bulbs from the interior lights
Washed the fan
And once refitted to the car, the fan is silent once more, and the lights MUCH brighter than they were!
Will be interesting to see if the auto setting works any better, it was blowing cold air out at 23 degrees with the window open a crack on the way home!
I also tested the boot, loads of room, infact too much room, Henry was rolling about all over the place
So what's next on the to-do list?
Handbrake. Will start at the centre console as the lever itself sounds like it's binding on something, then adjust the drums as the previous owner from last (it's complicated, it's a known car on Autoshite) says it's had recent shoes and discs and needs adjusting. I can also find the metal clip for the small interior light that pinged down into the console area...
Fix the indicator stalk, might order the part tonight and print the how to guide out
Fit my headunit when the adapter kit arrives
I splashed out £40 on a fair service kit for it, but it was done 3k ago... So I'll have a look at the air and cabin filters just in case, then ferret the oil and filter away in the shed for spring time, it'll e about 10k by then so will be due.
Do something about the drivers door seal that does what it likes (tape it on for the short term)
Fiddle with the headlights
Properly fit the battery box lid as it's loose and rattles
Maybe give it a vacuum and a wash!
