What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?

Al, did you have trouble getting the locknuts to release for the track-rod ends? I'm at my wit's (trackrod)end trying to get mine off.

Chris, if this is to enable the fitting of new trackrod ends, go ahead and destroy the locknuts if you must by grinding them down. As i have just replaced my inner trackrods i have two perfectly good nuts i can post to you. The heat from the grinder should even make removal easier. By suggesting this method i'm assuming you don't have a nut splitter?

I've not been there:LOL:

Am I doing something wrong here?
Phil kindly sent me a Mondeo Ghia coin mate to use with my Mondeo Ghia console(y)
If you line the rubber bungs up with the holes in the console, you get this....

Or just lining it up the way it looks like it should be you get this....

I must be doing something wrong, its been a long week:cautious::(
 
Did that centre console come from a Mk1 or Mk2 Mongy? I wonder if it's differences between the Mk1/Mk2 or something? Or the mat is from a LHD mongy? :eek:

Edit: Al beat me to it :LOL:
 
Brought the ST200 out of hibernation today and gave it it's first wash and Hoover of the year.

And then it thundered....

But I still blasted the effing cobwebs out of it after a full tank of BP Ultimate.
Boy that was fun. [emoji16]

Needs another wash now and it's back into hibernation again after next weekend as I'm on my travels 'South' again.

Yesterday Claus had a thorough bath, polish, vac (spare wheel out etc) and treated all the leather with Gliptone cleaner / conditioner.
Got up this morning to find it filthy again due to the storm last night (n)

That's more than it had during my ownership! I think Chris polished it once for me:)
