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 :(

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 :D

houston, we have MOT and TAX!!!!!

4 advisorys

- slight wear on near side lower suspension bushing

- slight wear on offside lower suspension bushing

- corrosion starting to appear on rear brake line on near side

- exhaust starting to corrode but no defect yet

edit - so a new back box and some wishbones are due then, can live with that!

yup! lol!

oh and forgot to say, ikkle 'rosa set herself on fire on the MOT ramp, the cooling fan burnt out and started to smoke haha! lucky we caught it on time!

plan of action is

- tracking and alinement needs done

- replace cooling fan

- pick up new interior and replace

- catch Dz with vagcom to see whats up with the central locking

- replace door straps

- fit new water shedders into the doors

- work on advisorys

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 )

yup lol! but the more i think of it, all arosa's had the solid head rests and the Arosa S had both seats were height adjustable, so im thinking at some point in its life the car has had a lupo interior put in it.....

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 :D
