[mikespug 1]

hi everyone long time no post

 

well i still have the pug now 10 years off the road but will be back on this year (with hope and alot of luck)

 

started getting it ready about 2 years ago but with a change of job and other things it was put on the back burner. with what i can remember i was more or less there but being 2 years on will most prob have to start again. one thing i do remember getting stuck on was them silly little black caps that hold the handle to the sun roof (couldnt get them anywhere) so if someone has some they dont need pm me (",)

 

anyway just wanted to come back say hi and get ready for loads of questions

 

thanks mike

just a little update the pug went for its first MOT in 11 years and failed

 

not on a lot just a littl e smoky rear off side brake not working and a split gaiter not to bad i think

 

only thing was on the way home i wanted to try and clear the cobwebs out a little and noticed that the gear stick was wobbling all over the place when i put my foot down

 

it has new gear links fitted already so im a little worried about this any ideas?

 

also they think its the oil stem seals have gone hard where its been sat and told me to try some thing called smoke away in the oil to see if it sorts it has anyone on here tried this stuff ??

tighten the ball joint on subframe. 13 mm socket and a spanner to stop the balljoint spinning

going to be a very happy man if its that easy to sort thanks

think you can get some stuff to soften the seals up, might be worth going to your local motor spares and trying that 1st

Wobble is probably the driveshaft

Drivesharft its looking like not very happy but needs to be done

What other 205 drivesharfts fit or is it only a 1.9 gti that will fit ?

 

Back for a retest tomorrow so fingers crossed
