307 Recommission

[hoolio]

So 307 will shortly be making its first trip in more than five years across to AW. I have a whole list of things that I would like done to the underneath and engine but I know will have forgotten something. So if you were having a major refurb, what would you be wanting to have done?

Go……

A new clutch made such a difference on mine Jules - made the pedal feel light and modern.

Really looking forward to your progress Sir

The list would be long!

Budget dependent, I would have the following done

All fluids changed (engine, gearbox, coolant, brake)
Cambelt/water pump/dephaser
New disc and pads all round
New tyres
Spark plugs
All filters
Sachs refurbed
Suspension related parts (ball joints etc)

Brings back bad memories Stef - no only joking

I’m not sure my wife understood how much effort/money it took to recommission my T as she says if I peg it she will just give mine away -

I have a fairly healthy budget (spent a lot of last summer in hospital etc rather than a holiday and this years holiday cash will be going the same way) as I only want to to this once (ish) A lot of that list was done shortly before I stopped using it so I will save something on parts there. I am hoping the Sachs I had refurbed a few years back will still be goodDiscs and pads are all as good as new but will be taking my lead from AW on stuff like that but you have reminded me of front wheel bearings.
I hadn’t thought about the clutch as car is only on 57k but will mention that and see what they think.
Just thought of power steering as well, this is useful

Just a few jobs to do before she goes off, reattach rear bumper for one and I’m damned if I can remember what bolts go where!
And this is how anal I used to be _
