Cheers matey
This sorted the ISV hose issue

But then the sunroof got stuck... open...
I managed to get the sunroof panel off and tape it in position to stop the rain getting in, the cable was totally jammed and the mechanism was shot

It was not looking good until Pete (Acidburn) came up with the goods, a good condition complete sunroof cartridge for a very friendly price and offered to deliver and fit it! Pete had been promising to help me fit the popout window to my coupe for about 3 years so I suggested we amalgamate the 2 jobs and I woud drive over to his unit on Sunday. As he and Gary (Madwolf) were delivering a car that day, by the time we got started it was late afternoon. I got there first and finished removing the sunroof cartridge and as soon as the boys arrived they tore into my car which was soon stripped of the rest of its interior, door cards, centre console pulled back and the wiring looms for the windows was being swapped over. The rear quarter glass was removed too pretty quickly and suddenly the car looked scarily like it was being broken for parts
We soon had the sunroof cartridge installed and new rear glass in but the wiring took a little longer, while Pete and Gary swapped the looms over I busied myself fitting and adjusting the sunroof panel..



It threatened to rain a few times but mostly held off and we eventually got the car drivable around 11.00pm, epic job lads!
I've finished off the rest of the trim and headlining over the last couple of days and she's looking and feeling like a whole car again now, the sunroof does as its told and I can drive around watching the rear windows open and close in the wing mirrors!
Pics with the windows open to follow when I can clean the car again and take some

I've just been giving my car some love. Not major detail but a decent wash.. Jetwash round the arches, AG shampoo, Megs polish on the rear lights, Megs quick detail to take off the spots and insect squidges, AG rubber cleaner on all the door and window seals.
