I have always wanted to try a rear wiper delete, don't know why, just like the smooth look, so I thought I would give it a go, and I have to say I like it. I didn't leave the tape on, it was just to hold it in place until the glue set. Not bad for my first attempt.

I couldn't stop the alarm from randomly going of at different times of the day and apparently after some internet digging, and it turns out that its the cars way of tell you the alarms internal battery running out and needs changing, so of with the wheel, it was a bit difficult to get too, but got there in the end.

On my way home from work one day there was a big bang on the door, I thought is was it was a bird hitting the door, turns out it was the window wire snapping, the door seal had failed and was letting water on and the cable was rusted thought. I got a good deal on a door new skin, It was a pain in the arse and wouldn't want to do other one, I haven't got a picture of it but changed the door seal as well and all was good.

Cheers, It was grim, when it rained for a long time there could be up to 10cm of water in there, really random for saying where it was coming from.

One of the headlight was getting water in, so had an investigation into it and found it..... well like this! Yes that's right, a plastic bag???? and it gets worse, Why? all it needed was a new rubber seal and the a new wire to bulb block (what ever it is called) fitting and it was fine.

Moving on, every time it rained, water was filling the spare wheel well, I just couldn't figure out where is was coming from, but after a lot of sitting in the boot while the wife sprayed water over the car, it turned out to be the air grills(what ever they are called) in the boot, bought new ones and siliconed them on, sorted.

Ok, ok, ok, it didn't have 82k on it it had more, that was just an example, chill out...... Yes, I did a HPI check and I was happy with what came back, it all matched, and yes I know I got scammed, but I wasn't prepared to sell it on to some one in that condition, I have too much of a conscious, after checking the car out, yes after I bought it, I weight up the cost of fixing it and wanted to have a go myself, to learn new things, as I am a chef not a mechanic, I am only doing this thread to so show progress from before to after, to show and help others if they are in a situation like mine.
