What did you do today?

[SubPar]

I had to drive one for a job years ago. It appeared designed to cripple me due to terrible seats and pedals at such weird angles it used to make my dodgy knee swell up so I'd limp when I got out.

I'm generally a French car apologist, but it seems some small Citroens really are crap.

I had a go of an AX back in January. Every time I start a car, I dip the clutch. I reached out for the clutch and hit the brake pedal, the controls were that offset. My 205 was comparatively normal to drive.

I've tried two 205s. The GTi was shit, the NA oil burner wasn't bad, not for an awful flimsy frog heap anyway..

Yes it's a dentless paint puller.
Did it work?.
Well you need to leave the glue to set,

And the jury is out. Small dent on boot doesn't look much different. Door one is a bit better.

Think I need to practice a bit more, and get some isopropyl alcohol to get the glue off.

Unplug it see what stops working.
What car is it btw?

My guess is MG

B Is the correct answer. It came in that colour, I have a knack of not caring.

∆∆ Looking at that wiring I should mention that the old looking plastic inline fuse is factory fitted. Seemingly it was beyond them to source a larger fuse box.
The later fuse is my addition, wish I could remember what it's for.

Electric washers?

Is that a genuine NZ 1800GT?

Didn't know there was such a thing,I've learned something today. But no it isn't, that's owned by a mate who decided to be creative with some Humbrol and a spare 1300GT badge.

It wasn't official, a dealer special really, but they were done on Mk2s which made me wonder.....Cheers.

[slowanimals]

He does have a genuine pick-up though

It's got manual washers; anyway after investigation it's a fused supply to the blue wire in the trailer lectrics. It's a switched live feed that supplies the fog light or caravan internal lights- the 7 pin socket is the sort which switches off the fog when something is plugged in. That's why I thought it deserved a fuse. I know modern folk have two sockets or one with a million pins, but I consider these to be vulgar.
