Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Only a really quick one for today. Got this fitted to the Peugeot - definitely not a common sight in this generation of Partner. https://i.ibb.co/WFPJ9mP/IMG-20240128-143053.jpg The cutout I've made for it isn't the tidiest thing I've ever done but you're not going to be looking up at this from this...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Simple but satisfying jobs today. The carpet underlay in the front was switched round so the cutout for the pedals was in the right place. Still don't know why that didn't occur to me when I was fitting it - though having to work around school kids running around my driveway at the time probably did...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
A very large box arrived this morning containing more goodies for the Trabant. Very large box filled mostly with air because some of the things were long skinny parts. https://i.ibb.co/pJSCy0G/IMG-20240126-112905.jpg [] 2 sill kick plates. [] OS window lifter rail. [] Cooling fan to cowl seal. [] 20...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Turns out that removing the one visible fastener on the headlights does absolutely nothing - so swearing and scraping of knuckles was the order of the day. https://i.ibb.co/0FZ4Dm7/IMG-20240125-124032.jpg I really do need to get a new front number plate... It's absolutely possible to change the lamp...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
All evidence suggests that we've finally beaten the water ingress into the passenger foot well in the Trabant. I'm not totally sure exactly where the source was, but I've gone for the nuclear option and have attacked the whole suspect area with the underbody sealant. https://i.ibb.co/wSgvrV1/IMG-202...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
The amount of water in our conservatory tells me that it's been raining pretty heavily on and off most of the day today. So I'd usually expect there to be a lake in the passenger foot well (random thought, does it still count as a well if the floor is actually flat?) in the Trabant. https://i.ibb.co...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
I've seen what the battery can do to a ring spanner when the earth was left connected ... and yes, the "handler" moved about ten feet backwards in one motion! (New Olympic event there? Backward long jump!) My comment about electrics was more aimed at moderns with their chips and microprocessors. Gi...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
I take it the Trabant is negative earth? Same on my Peugeot 206 that also has a quick release tab. BUT ... on the positive terminal. So much for all the handbooks and manuals with "disconnect the earth side of the battery first" .. maybe a quick release on both? And then we wonder why modern electr...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Armed with information from the internet I was able to release this battery clamp. https://i.ibb.co/CKbYFsL/IMG-20240121-142631.jpg Yes, you do just lift the red tab up. Though precisely why is still beyond me if you're not going to equip both terminals with that facility as it doesn't actually save...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Rover, Renault, Peugeot, Trabant, Invacar & Sinclair C5
Keep it, you know you want to... ;) do any of your neighbours want to rent a parking space to you or could you find a lock up or something similar I think most of our neighbours would rather murder me with dull spoons than rent me driveway space. We get along okay in passing at least with the coupl...
