well

SHE FAILED

:lol::lol:

got everything sorted already though :rolleyes:

Horn does not function
Nearside headlight aim too high
Front exhaust system has leak of gases

i knew about the horn prob, but at 11 0 clock on thu nite when we were trying to sort it, i decided FEK IT ! :lol: but found out where the prob was on fri afternoon (where it goes into the steering wheel at the back) so thats now sorted

The adjuster in the headlight is fooked so its shooting up too high :( gonna go to the local breakers and get one today :)

The exhaust leaking was barely anything,its where the manifold/front pipt on an XE joins onto the system after the flexi. so just took it apart and put paste in,and replaced the clamp as when we were doing the engine swap it got tightened a bit to much and had oulled one side of the clamp.

so be re-tested mid-week sometime !


ps-got an advisory on a front tire (near the legal limit)

:P
