Just got off the phone - She doesn't now overheat and the seat runner issue is sorted. No doubt Michael is sick of the sight of it so he is hoping to MOT it this week so I can have it back.
I have LOADS of detailing to do but I am hoping to use it in it's unfinished state for the Retro Rides stand at the Pod week after next.
List of jobs to do once home.
1. Clean it! 2. Under bonnet bling 3. Paint some engine parts 4. Finish tool box lining 5. Make 'Stickerbomb' board for too box 6. Order new pressed plates? (Not sure on this) 7. Make bed hinge covers 8. Repaint bed cover until I can afford wrap 9. Get some new Bosch wipers as the one's I fitted look curse word! 10. Drive it!!

Good news bud,,,, the rides back on! I sincerely hope so! I now have a dilemma - Do I keep my S210 but use it VERY sparingly or do I cash in on it now as it has to be worth twice what I paid? (Then spend money bettering the P100) I still have no idea why I bought it other than it was cheap! I don't even drive these days so don't need a car! My only real disappointment in all this is that I have gone quite a way over my budget - I know what you are all going to say but this is the 1st time for me - I always come within what I say - Not this time! I reckon I am 2k into it more than it's worth

What you need to do is number 10 on the list mate, that's what it's all about.

curse word said Pooh - It failed. That is all...
It failed on two points
1. Handbrake efficiency low - Easy to adjust
2. O/S Headlamp has water in - New one ordered
Retest Friday I hope - Trying to keep Mojo..

If the headlamp isn't rusty just unclip the lense, empty the water out and reseal it

Yes mate, I fully intend on keeping the old one and doing just that as a spare. I found a NOS one on Ebay for £22 so pushed the button Lol. Incidently, bortaf - Whilst searching for a headlight, I came accross some genuine Ford perspex headlight protectors. Now they were on Ebay, ending today at £22+ so far. (Reserve not met) My P100 came with some and I don't want to use them really. My question is, what are they really worth? Someone messaged me when I 1st bought the truck about them but I can't remember who. Are they worth decent money? Will have to hunt them out as no idea where I have put them!

I drilled a hole in my headlight to let water out, then bunged the hole

I myself am a 1st class idiot! I only ordered the wrong damn headlight - from a 3 door! Plan B - Revert to Bortaf's plan - Remove and reseal in time for retest! This thing keeps fighting me!

You meen a Mk1 sierra? Mk2 3 door H/L are the same as any other AFAIK, Mk1 came in 2 sizes base/L/GL and Ghia/cosworth/Xr4i with the extra lamp on the inside. Those lense protectors usualy make £20 pluss IME if they have the ford logo them more good to see it's ni on there chap, round my way they are dissapearing, a year ago there were 7 now there is 5 (1 stolen, 1 written off), that leaves mine, 2 camper ones and 2 others local to me
