I'd say more than cough cough Jesta, it looks like it's trying to pass a lung or something :lol:
Got bored after work and got busy with the stickies again.

Have you tried adding Olbas Oil to the tank, guarenteed way to decongest :)

I like how those stickers on the b pillar turned out… I did something similar on my laptop
I also LOL at the smokers stickers - BRILLIANT!

**It seems some German guy has outdone you before you've even got started…
(quick translation: All the stickers say, in German, what part they're on; Credit for the find to Fluffy at Barryboys)**

Hmm, I'll let the guy have that, I don't think that's sticker bombing as such just some kind of oddness.
Anyone fancy a quick tour of Bert? Well, FU, here's one!

You got served

:twisted: The car that won't die! My worst fears came to mind when I thought the water pump had gone the other week, finding out this would mean changing the cambelt put a somewhat sudden end to the thoughts of keeping Bert going any longer (it made sense cambelt kit and water pump costing £175 before fitting and tax and with a few other things needing to be done, I knew it was in for a big bill).
But hey, all is fine. The water pump is fine, so therefore needing to change the cambelt is no longer needed either. Bert just keeps trucking along like the insane little insect he is. It's MOT time at the end of the month so I am going to get him sorted so I can get another years motoring out.

thats good hated the thought of it going to the car grave yard

Thats good news, what was the problem if it was not the water pump??

I don't know, I think I was being paranoid, saw some smoke come from under the bonnet and assumed the worst. It was more than likely the radiator fan wiring giving up. But a check on all the water pump pipes seems to be okay (a little worse for wear maybe- a future fix).
The smoke also could have been due to the oil from the Cam cover raining down on the manifold (problem solved using gasket sealant, which you're meant to use when replacing the old gasket-no-one told me this….).
Still got the sump to sort out and the welding of the sill and also the radiator fan.
Everything stemmed from a good chat with one of the maintenance guys at work today, he asked me if the car had given up yet and I said that it was running better than ever, he then told me that if the water pump had gone it would be making a hell of a noise, squealing and more than likely not working at all, this made me think and after work I had a good look around and listen and everything (apart from the leaky sump) was running well.
Bert lives to fight another month or so :lol:

waterpumps usually keep going without a noise except they pump the water out of the engine and your header tank will empty on every journey

Fluid levels are fine :)

The stripping of anything worthwhile has begun.
And now the front looks so sh*t
That's it now, Bert is ending this week, one last journey never to be seen again. :cry:

are you sure this is what you want. they are so rare and would be nice if someone could buy it off you to restore…..... it would have a pretty keen enthusiast to restore the paint to its original colour mind :P these things do happen i guess. i had a mondeo mk1 with full RS bodykit and i loved it. then like a twonk i booted it up hill and got to the top to find steam coming out of the bonnet and a very jerky ride. managed to bunnyhop it home to find there was no water left in it. almost everything important blew including head gasket and wierdly the starter motor. hated it but managed to sell it for bangers :( keep us informed on what you get next

how much for the complete part that holds the battery down onto the tray :wink:
