| The boot: BEFORE |
 |
| Car: BEFORE |
 |
| You can see by the rear foot well that I had cleaned her before and that part had stayed almost immaculate, lol. |
 |
| The car: Passenger Foot well: BEFORE |
 |
| Would you look at all the space in there now? |
 | ||
| RUBBISH got out of the car (black bag) Gloves, goggles, all protective stuff (white carrier bag) Drive bars, breaker bar, sockets, other SCREW type stuff (brown box) Anything else in the crisp box. |
 |
| I am no specialist in Peugeot build quality but the last time I looked they did much better than 2 bolts coming OUT of the rear seating bench............. (WOULD LOVE TO SEE A PICTURE OF WHAT I AM MISSING BY THE WAY) |
 |
| Good progress! |
 |
| NEARSIDE: Missing LX badge. I found the L today, it must of been inside the drivers seat as it was found on the rear bench and would not of been there before. |
 |
| The image that pushed me too far. I am sorry Miss Pug. xx |
 |
| Getting there: albeit slowly. |
Now, starting today was easy, I just started to tidy the tools into boxes and just generally clean.
I did the boot, it was empty, I then started on the passenger side, I then hoovered the passenger foot well, then took an interior wipe to the dash, hand brake console and even the ''PEUGEOT'' on the door plate. I slowly worked towards the back.
I got to the boot again, already tidy and clean, thought I'd lift up the extra seats and see what it was like under there.
I saw more mold and it was at that point the typical woman in me came out on show.
I actually had tears in my eyes.
A car I love with all my heart in such a dirty, messy, state. I am ashamed of myself for letting her get so bad. I guess those seats must of been in that condition when I folded them a year ago now - WHY did I leave it like that? 5 kids running around me I suppose would be the answer to that.
My poor Peugeot looks like it's unloved and that is so far from the truth it's unbelievable.
 |
| Checks done: Drivers seat connections reattached, passenger side LIVE not touching anything it shouldn't, Passenger AIR BAG OFF via central console. Battery negative reconnected, All I need to do is grow some balls and turn the key....... |
 |
| Well, this answers the whole 126k mileage thing, lol. Whilst I am disappointed the AIRBAG light remains flashing it's sexy ass at me, I am also pleased to report at present the EML and ABS fault have gone away :) |
 |
| LOOKING (dare I say this) ''normal''.... AIRBAG light was flashing on and off though and this picture taken when it was 'off'' lol. |
* Reconnect the passenger side seat belt pre-tensioners. I am in two minds whether to try and re-install the previous connection boxes or to try and use these crimp spade connectors.
* When above job complete, run engine to temperature looking out for the EML / ABS light to come back on.
- If ABS light comes back on, undo the sensor retaining bolt, gently remove sensor, clean up and put back in and repeat above step.
- If ABS light does not come back on, put caliper back on and wheel.
(IF and when wheel is put back on, shift it forward to improve access).
* Look at the minor cosmetic damage (non existent but I am a perfectionist)
* Baby oil over the roof bars
* Visit a scrappy with a donor 406 in, I need to rob some parts :)
Too much to list! :)
Perhaps I should also mention that yesterday I had a few heart palpitations when I was tightening the nearside rear wheel nuts and the WHEEL MOVED. My initial thought was 'bugger, that hand brake really needs looking at'.
However, today I just ''checked'' it was up as far as it would go; nope - it clicked three more times and thus, wheel is secure now. :)
