Is your S2 running right? To do list....

[andyg plym]

The only time I have ever have S2's running right is when I have come to sell them
There ALWAYS seems to be something to do on them,always a "to do list"....

Whats on yours? Bet most of us have a lot of matching niggles

My to do list:

1)top mounts
2)go back to stock suspension
3)poss boost leak
4)sort interior lighting
5)sachs clutch
6)slight leak from aerial seal

so around two hours work with a break in between.

[gunman]

1: Refurb prop
2: boost leak test
3: Braided brake hoses
4: fit refurb'd front calipers
5: Refurb Alloys
planning to do this in a month or so. That being said, I've been planning it for the last year.

[WidowmakerS2]

1. 1 top mount
2. Steering stabilizer
3. Adjust ride height
4. Some interior niggles
5. Battery box in the boot
6. Fix boost-leak

ARGH.. Doesn't get shorter

Mine mechanically sound and running sweet as a nut,
I do have several bodywork issues that need sorting though,
rusty front wings and tailgate, lacquer peeling off etc.

[Ian Simmonds]

For the first time in a long while, we're nearly there...

Still need to sort out some silly odds and sods...

Rear wiper/heated screen electrical fault.
Ariel plastic trim onto roof broken.
Several instrument bulbs/switch bulbs.
Exterior Temp Gauge bulb... Yes that one.

And thats about it....

[Colesy]

Off the top of my head:
Sort out a kill switch for the stereo so it can be easily reset.
Find out why the air vent director dial isn't working properly.
Check the wiring to one rear speaker which works intermittently.
Fit spare front wing and have it sprayed + a few other bodywork niggles.
Fit the RS2 turbo and Sachs clutch I have in a cudboard
Have the head off and hopefully just replace the head gasket.
Run a dehumidifier inside it for a day to sort out some of the condensation.
Replace a couple of instrument bulbs.
Fit Samco water hoses.
Exterior Temp Gauge bulb.

There's always something that could be done!

what are you going to do about the location of the rear heated seat buttons? i've been looking into it for a while now but not much in the way of choice on an avant, a coupe's slightly better in that you could mount them inside the rear quarters section
