Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
My old galaxy had wobbly calipers that would rub the wheels occasionally.. odd that the garage couldn't find anything on your car.. Have you considered a carport to keep some of the fleet dry? I've seen some with solar panels on... they have something similar where my wife works.. helps keep cars c...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Has to be said that electrical pruning in an older car can often be quite satisfying. This is what was evicted from under the dash of the Trabant this morning. https://i.ibb.co/5rdNR4j/IMG-20240108-141022.jpg Including quality workmanship such as this discarded wiring tail that was just sitting on t...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Carpets were removed again a day or two ago, and today I went after the rear cabin floor with a screwdriver and the vacuum cleaner to scrape off and get rid of at least a decent chunk of the flaky paint/rust/sealant. https://i.ibb.co/7tBBh9M/IMG-20240107-141625.jpg Will probably still go at it with ...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Do you have a wet vacuum cleaner to clean some of the water from your car? Glad the rover is getting some love, do you use it much now? I do, but at the moment there's not much point in using it as the water's just going to reappear as soon as it's removed. Really need to properly figure out where ...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Sorry for the lack of my usual updates over the last few days. Firstly there's not been a massive amount going on. The weather being so miserable (seriously, why don't we just rename English winter "the rainy season" as it would be so much more descriptive) has obviously put a damper on doing much o...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Yesterday afternoon I had intended to give the Trabant at least a first pass exterior clean as she'll be attending a show tomorrow. Not going into full valet mode, I just wanted to get rid of all the moss and some of the ingrained grime that's clearly been there for years. However I then ended up wa...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
The screen on my truck has got a similar problem, I was hoping to get a new one but at 300 plus vat it can stay like that until I find a good second hand one A few folks have told me that this is quite a common issue if the battery voltage gets a touch low on PSA vehicles. The battery IS an ECP che...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
The Peugeot decided that it was about time to add something to it's to-do list today. https://i.ibb.co/yp76DV9/IMG-20231228-114247.jpg Guessing based on how it's behaving that we've got some gunk or moisture on one of the zebra strips between the display panel and the PCB it's mounted to. That will ...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Juke thing would have been one of my next guesses.. im surprised you have little experience with minis.. Will one be on your shopping list? Not really, for two reasons. First is that I simply don't fit comfortably in the driver's seat of one. I drove one for the first time a year or two back and wa...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Whats the blue car in the background? Toyota?? Old mini, the wings are welded in place.. some of the jobs you need to persuade local gynaecology department to help :lol: Guess it shows that the Mini is a car I've virtually no experience with. The only one I spent any real time around was when I was...
