Needs more padding, Paul.
I have some going spare around my middle
Looks interesting!
wing back passenger seat
I'm thinking ashtray on one side, and a cupholder on the other for your G&T? Sophisticated kitty cat.
Took mine for its MOT - which it failed
It's booked in to have some welding done next week (sills, front nearside & rear both sides). The tester didn't like my HID headlights either so I'll have to put standard bulbs back in for the retest.
Not the end of the world though - I've had far worse failures in the past.

Hopefully it won't be too expensive mate
I've been quoted £150+vat for the welding, so not bank-breaking. Also, happy timing means that it coincides with a month I don't have to pay council tax, so not as bad as it could be
Drained Power steering fluid in Gemmas cougar and replaced cooler which had been leaking and letting air into the system refilled reservoir 2.3litres bled the system steering now much better Next tackled abs lights staying on, was advised by previous owner it was a sensor fault, turn out the reluctor ring is snapped so got to try and find my spares somewhere in the cougar parts department of my parents garage, job for tomorrow I think :beer:

got 3 of them somewhereGood work mate
There'll be one in there somewhere!
Had the front control arms and track rod ends changed today then put in for MOT which she passed, only advisory is the near side rear anti roll bar bush which has quite a bit of play in it, bit anoyed about that as it was not picked up on last months service and i had Flow-Flex polyurethane ones fitted for last years MOT, been getting a clunk over pot holes for the last couple of months so must be the where its comming from, she has done 8000 miles since they were fitted so going ring Flow-Flex up on monday as i would assume they would last longer than that.
Nothing.
Well i actually went to fit LED replacements for the conventional bulbs in the interior/reading lamps.
Had bought several wedge 5w equivalent LEDs since these are used in many lamps around the car. Allegedly.
Except the reading lamps have bayonet bulbs and fittings.
I'm now wondering which other lamps have bayonet fittings instead of the wedge type that are specified in the user manual.
Sidelights (2), wing repeaters (2), numberplate (2) and high-level brakelight (3) are all wedge in the book.
I'll have a look at those when I've daylight free time. The package of 21w/5w, 5w, HB3 and H7 LEDs arrived yesterday.

If yours is a C1 the sidelight bulbs are bayonets with offset pins, the rest as you've listed are wedge-based.
Good one mate what garage do you use
Alfatech in Ledbury, quite happy for me to get parts online and fit them for me which some are less keen to do.
I've heard good things about them mate. Glad she passed ok
Yes there very good, honest and do a good job at the right price, been using them since i got the car apart from the first service which i had done at another garage in Ledbury which was far more than the price i was told before she went in.
