On the road again

[cococarmichael]

At long last I've got my S2 out of storage and MOT`d.
Thanks to every one on the forum who helped me out getting it back on the road.
Just a few little problems to sort out and everything should be sweet.
What oil pressure should I have. I've got 5 bar when I boot it up 4 at normal driving and 2 at idle.
Are all the bulbs in the instrument cluster the same type? Just so I can have them to hand before I take the cluster out.
Cheers

Nice car Any more photos? What work was needed after being in storage?

Your oil pressure readings are good
Think there are a few different bulb types for the main dash gauges.

Aux gauges (oil pressure etc), heater dials use the same bulbs. I've got plenty spares if you need these.

Oil pressure readings are bang on

Main instrument cluster are all different, little bayonet fitting lamps, my advice is to take it out and find out which are blown and order them up.

Brakes were seized, broken spring, idle sitting too high, corroded brake lines, lights sitting too high with adjustment broken, cut out at idle and I have a wing to replace.
Will have to be careful how much I do at the moment as the wife is having a sence of humor failure about how much I've spent on it this month.
Thinking tackling the cluster should be a relative cheap job to bash on with.

Nice looking S2 you should try and have it ready for the Scottish meet in April

You need a separate car account / cash.

When and where is the meet in April? Don't think I'll have it good by then but wouldn't mind going along

Good you got it sorted- I wouldn't worry bout having your car perfect for the meet in april- i'm of the feeling that as long as it's running- come along- I'm sure the photos can be filtered/doctored for imperfections- they'll need to be for my car anyway!!
