    GranSport (Fuji White) Running report

    Thread Update - Sold the car. I advertised it on PH and PH only thinking it probably wouldn't sell as it wouldn't get much exposure. I did price it to sell though - I've lost money over what I paid for it but not by a large amount. Truth is, I didn't want to sell it. I anticipate that it's...

    And I looked at the wiring harness from the sensors going back into the car... IMG_3964 by Chris Upton, on Flickr Oh. Right. That'll be the problem then... It had been hanging too low and melted on the exhaust. I think I'm going to have to take the credit for this fault. Its appears...

    As you might be able to tell, I have a new camera lens. I've been using a Canon 50mm F1.8, one of the really cheap ones but it has served me well. Until dropped it. Again. This time it was terminal. And a replacement was required. I found cheap F1.4 50 on eBay. It just needed a quick...

    Thanks :) I sold my 159 (ti SW TBi), replaced it with a GT 1.9 QV. This proved to be a mistake as I've spent all my time working on it since. It's been so much of a PITA I can't find the enthusiasm to post about.

    The next job was anti roll bar bushes. As well as the squeal from the idler puller, it was also developing a slight knock from the front end. I've had it apart at least 3 times looking for the cause and found nothing. There's no movement in the wishbones, hub or track rod. I couldn't find...

    GranSport (Fuji White) Running report

    Some parts I ordered last year finally turned up last week, (thank you Brexiteers) so I dug the Maser out from under it's winter cover this weekend for a couple of jobs. 1st job was to replace an idler puller which is part of the auxiliary drive belt system. It's been squealing for a while on...

    Looks like I forgot to update this thread last time I had anything to report, which was October 21: The car is still for sale in theory, although I only advertised it the once on Ebay and here. I couldn't raise the enthusiasm to readvertise it, partly because I like it so much and partly...

    Yeah, I know, I did spot that after I posted it and I've tried twice to edit it but PH and eBay seem to be unwilling to accept it.

    This has been annoying me for quite some time now - dirt around the rear badge; IMG_5834 by Chris, on Flickr Which I couldn't remove using the usual techniques. Removal of the badge was required, which is a bit of a faff. It involves removal of the boot lid liner; IMG_5836 by Chris, on...

    I think I've mentioned this previously, but I had some new tyres put on the back; IMG_5588 by Chris, on Flickr The door locks have been "bouncing" the last few months when I try to lock it. My Dad has a similar issue with his 4200 which helped us idtify the passenger door lock as the culprit...

    Whats the best way to sell a project?

    I absolutely love it and I do use it regularly, but it was supposed to replace the GTA and I can't convince myself to sell the GTA for sentimental reasons, as much as anything else. I have 3 cars but only 2 insurance policies, so 1 needs to go. In addition, I work within the Public Sector...
