Anyway, it hammered down yesterday and a pool of water appeared on the passenger side of the Maverick, once rain went away I blew compressed air down the sun roof drains and through anywhere else I thought could possibly be blocked up, didn't seem to move anything but the was a satisfying pile of debris on the floor when I moved it
Due to suffering from I can't be arsed syndrome a friend fitted me a new bottom arm and auto roll bar linkages which had got rid of an annoying clonk too.

That's partially what helped me find the V50 fault. The live data I could read from the sensors looked like it was something like so I didn't have to start throwing parts at it. The fact it wasn't throwing any codes however wasn't as helpful. :roll:

How much is a machine to read live data from a transit? Or any recommendations?

Bloody weather is lousy. Bright sunshine then massive downpours. Managed to get another wing flatter and primed in-between showers. Just the quarter panel to finish and doors to prime and then the marathon sanding session starts.

Had the phone call about the Corvette today and it is unloaded and all taxes are now paid so I can go and collect it. I am a bit busy this week so Monday is collection day. I have also got the NOVA on the Dodge done so 2 lots of V55's to do now. I also dropped the Dodge radiator for recore as it was almost as blocked as the water pump.
