Some more stuff happened:

Rover 75

Screenwash leak from the reservoir area. After skme head scratching I realised that the pump has frost damage and is leaking internally. New one is a tenner, now ordered.

I tried to repair the wiring on the red Saab's seat but attaching spade terminals to 2 tiny pins on the seat position sensor didn't work and the airbag light is still in. I have ordered a new section of loom with a proper plug and a new sensor which will hopefully fix it.

I waxed the new Saab, it comes up brilliant. The paint is in fine condition for 18 years old. The only problem is that I'm now a little indifferent to the end Saab because the black one looks so good!

No pictures as the site appears to have stopped uploading my stuff.

I also hit the Audi roof with some blue Renovo which came up great.

Again, no picture because technocripple.

I'm pretty fucked with Covid right now so no more car stuff for a few days.

Honestly don't know what's up with the pictures, I think it's my phone and not the site. You'll just have to squint if you care enough, right now I'm a grumpy cunt so don't.

I reckon that soon he'll be trying to screw even more money out of us by selling Wob approved mobiles that actually post photos properly. The additional benefit being that Ben becomes redundant. :D

Replacement screenwash pump came for the 75 today, all fitted and working.

The replacement part of the seat loom came yesterday for the red Saab, I plan to fit that tomorrow after work. Hopefully that extinguishes the airbag light.

My wife is now out of isolation so took the black Saab for a drive for the first time before taking it to work tomorrow, all good. The passenger side dipped beam was out but thankfully I had a replacement handy as I don't get out of isolation until Sunday to be able to go and get one.

Watching with interest to see if that finally sorts the airbag light, it's been an adventure

If not I'm considering buying a Tech 2 machine. They're not ridiculously expensive 2nd hand.

I recently bought a scanner to read SRS/ABS codes mainly for that Civic I bought, it claims to do GM/Saab as well so welcome to try that if needed before spending the dough
