Looking a little closer though and the problems start to stand out. Try using it and these become even more apparent. For example it won't start - I've even remembered to use the immobiliser this time.
Looking a the battery and its clearly undersized and the contacts are a bit rusty. Trip to the car shop is in order.
At this point I'm going to plug Taymac in Middleton, friendly shop and good prices, like £58 for a nice new battery for the 944. Let the spending begin.
Battery fitted and its time to fix another job. Water is collecting on the spoiler at the back - drain hole must be blocked.
The high tech fix I employ is to straighten out a paper clip and wiggle it around (its a technical process). This makes a load of gunk fall out and then I throw a bucket of water over it. More gunk but it is draining now (which is a good thing as there is a bucket on water now sitting on the spoiler).
The car is misting up when started up so water must be getting inside somewhere. Back seats prove to have a damp spot and there are a few bits in the rear under the boot lining and in the wells. Far from ideal.
This puppy needs to get out the rain and into a nice cosy garage, only problem is it is full of shit. Mainly my shit so I can't blame anybody else. How annoying.
Tomorrow my Dad's mate Dave is coming round to have a look. He's mad on cars and actually knows how to fix them, I'm positive he will like mine (and tell me what I need to fix first). He won't even charge me.
Textbook.
