Was one of these, but in diamond white... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174647209615

So, finally got around to fitting the Halo dashcam and hardwire kit today. The wiring kit was really decent, easy to install. Got the dashcam all hooked up and working perfect. Good thing is its really small, so not really that noticeable from outside. Cheeky wee pic now she had been washed and new cam fitted! Unfortunately, due to a wee fault with her Juke, Gayle had to use DD to go to and from work, so she's all bloody dirty again! lol Good thing is, we had torrential rain up here, so that, and along with me giving her a good wash after fixing the leak, she's nice and dry in the footwell! Wee pic of the Halo

So, unfortunately DD developed a rather bad leak into the drivers front footwell. Noticed it after I had gave her good wash, the whole footwell was literally swimming in a pool of water. Got the mat out, removed the trim and pulled back the carpet. Took absolute hours to get all the water out and wring out the carpet which was saturated. Got Gayle to start with the hose, spraying a little water at the bottom of the screen and working our way up to the top and onto roof. No sign of where it was getting in at all!! So, speaking to DAVEMB2 one night on the phone, and he mentioned that there is a big hole beneath the scuttle panel trim that is open and goes straight into the heater. It only has a small lip around it, so maybe water coming in there. Got the trim all removed, and sure enough, there is this huge hole and you can actually reach in and spin the fan on the heater! See the pics below. The pic above shows the location of the hole. The scuttle panel above overhangs the hole, and normally the water wouldn't go in/drip down into the hole. Unfortunately, there was 22 years worth of mud/grime built up in the lip on the scuttle, meaning it was level with the top of the lip. The pic above shows dirt, but I was half way through cleaning it so it was way worse than this! Water was able to go straight into the heater and along the pipes to drivers side! There's a flap of metal to the front of the hole which I assume is to stop the water splashing into it. The scuttle lip sits so that it is just inside the lip. I've bent that flap slightly towards the hole, meaning any water that does go over the top lip will just run off the flap and into the drains as it should do. Spent ages with cleaning stuff and a Henry hoover cleaning all dirt and crap out. This pic below shows it cleaned, and the flap now bent back towards the rear of the car. And finally all done. The bits that look rusty are actually the factory sealant. One thing I was glad of is that when removing the scuttle trim, the actual scuttle and bulkhead are absolutely rust free. Not a single bit of rust there! I was a bit worried with the leak, as thought the bulkhead may have rotted away out of site beneath the trim. Jims Rover 400, which looked mint, was rotten in there when he got the windscreen replaced, which was the reason he got rid of it. Same year as DD too! Glad to say she's mint in there! I've also sprayed the entire scuttle area with silicon spray to keep the water off it. Hopefully this will keep her rust free in there for years to come.

wow! soooooo mint!!

The car I wanted when I past my driving test was a mk3 Ford Cortina 2000E! Those were the car to have back in my youth, along with the mk2 Escort. Sadly, Couldn't wait till I past my test so went and bought a lovely white mk3 2000E before I even got my license! Couldn't drive it legally so my big bro used to take me out for a spin in it, deal being he got to use it to go to work lol. Had a mk2 Escort too, which I stupidly drove before passing my test and got caught! Years ban before I even had my license, not something I'm proud of, just wanted to drive!!! So, car I always wanted (and got!) (photoshopped the number plate from mine onto it!)

Hey So I have owned my mb4 for over a year now and I was wondering if the Honda Accord front lights fit on the mb4. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what parts also fit on it. Thanks

Nope only ones of mb 2 to 6 and mc1 and 2

Yep, wanted an orion ghia with an rs body kit. Drove a 954cc 205 xe Had to plan overtake manoeuvres a week in advance

Can't remember whether I posted these pictures before, but I just found them on my phone. Nice and clean under there before getting resealed
