Rusty had a visit from a descendent, The RS5 belongs to Steve who I bought Rusty from.

WoF failed on headlight alignment and a cut in my rear seatbelt! Maybe rodent related? Also my drive shaft bushing is worn so I?ll replace that soon.
Since sitting outside for a week Rusty isn?t running properly - missing and down on power. Not sure what it is yet, maybe electrical, maybe air or vac leak. I suspected spark plugs so did a quick 10 minute new plug install in @repcoauto car park 😃 Smoother running but still not right.







Hmm not sure that looks right. New cap and rotor coming from @qualitat_european
New seatbelt arrived from Hawkeswood Classic in Auckland.

I can place this pic now Rob!  Excellent.

I think it?s pretty clear the seatbelt was chewed by a rodent, and it also found this empty popcorn packet and tried to drag it into the boot. Better have a word with my daughter about leaving food in cars!!  It also ate some of my parcel shelf which fortunately doesn?t show
New belt is fitted, just need to sort out the headlight and get a WoF re-check.





Those &$@ing headlight adjuster clips!
Took Rusty for a WoF re-check, we got the headlight adjusted just right then ?ping!? The clip flew off. At the back of headlight that has to come out to get to the clips. At 4:58pm. So I had to come home again with no warrant of fitness. Third time lucky!





Success! It took another 45 min of taking the headlight out and re fitting to finally get it right. Running issue also sorted it was cylinder 2 plug lead. Will tidy later but it no longer sounds like a Subaru.




OMG what a revelation! I have decent headlights now!
Last 2 wofs they must have ignored it.

Thanks but if I can help it I?m not touching it again :D
I twisted some wire around the end of the one that popped off and it?s holding well.

I have to say, your perseverance has really paid off. Great to see you enjoying the car.

Road trip to Wellington and back, Rusty performed well. I took the Azev wheels down for a guy who said he wanted to buy them then he ghosted me so I brought them back again!
Stayed in a cottage in the middle of Nga Manu bird sanctuary which was awesome!









Also brought back a Ford Courier gearbox which has done 250,000km less than the one in my ute :)

My 12 year old went bananas when he saw you pull out of Coastlands on Saturday eve!  Poor guy almost gave himself whiplash when he turned around to look at the Coupe heading in the opposite direction.

The fleet! Rusty needed a wash so I thought why not do the work car too.

Kicked out of the garage so my wife can use it as a conference room for a work training day.
