Retroanaconda Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Let's see, in the 90.... Need to install heated rear window and rear wiper. Need to paint rear sides and back door. Wiper switch slightly intermittent on intermittent, as it were. Still trying to sort the persistent leak into the footwells from the bulkhead corners. Small leak from rear diff pinion seal. Small leak from transfer box front output seal, and slight play in bearing (think the play is normal though). Oil leak from the engine somewhere, ends up dripping off the sump plug. Radio aerial loose in mount, rattles around. Rear door needs adjusting, the lock comes undone (onto the semi-locked position) on bumpy roads. Gearbox cross-member banana-shaped. Headlights slightly corroding inside. Electric fan thermostat knackered, to be replaced with x-fan before summer. Rear headlining to find/fit. Back end needs some sound deadening/proofing. Think that's about it, probably forgotten a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
