one litre wonder ;) Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 well its been since the 17th of October the car has been away and been going as a back project at the garage, the car is now in one piece! the boot now opens, the bonnet latch has been replaced as well and we are now awaiting in line for the MOT ramp!! so hopefully all being well we should have ikkle 'rosa back!on another upnote we have source some clean seats and door cards ( only light grey ) for a total steal! so some clean seats going in as well! so the pick up of the front seats, rear seats, door cards, arch liners and a couple of other bits and bobs should be happening at the end of the week as im on call this week 24x7 from monday to friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz1981 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 does the central locking work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 well i spoke to the SEAT head mechanic and he said that in the sum what 15yrs the arosa from the begining has been out, he has never once heard of the central locking control module packing in. what he has seen loads of times is this happening when a lock is jammed or a snapped check strap damaging the wiring... so with the boot handle being jammed on her car, we are hoping its just that causing it. but on the bright side, a new clean interior for £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 a wee pic from visiting gerry and getting the tracking done.had to take the wheels off to blow torch the locking nut as it had rusted solid!other than that, i think there must have been an air lock in the cooling system as the coolant warning light came on but its only went down a wee bit so im hoping its just cleared its air lock and needs a top up ( fingers crossed ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 ok so far the brakes are starting to bed in but finding you have to depress the pedal very far for some bite, so prob going to have to up the master cylinder to a TDi one cause im reconing ( the brakes were quite vague when we got the car ) that due to the bigger front brakes the master cylinder cant cope with the extra fluid required so on the hunt for a master cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
