Post subject:  its arrived!!

2.30 ish today, my 944 cab arrived, but its been pi55ing down all bladdy day!!
took it out and drives very well, bodywork and interior very nice and straight, esp for a 21 year old car, but a few minor issues, namely:-

needs a new nearside indicator bulb.

the drivers side leccy seat back doesnt work but the height does.

the drivers side door lock/pull up thingy doesnt work with the central locking, only with popping it down before i close the door.

slight noise on full lock from power steering, could be low fluid, haven't had chance to look til the monsoon goes off!

other than that, all (seems) very good, but it needs a bloody good wash and polish.

the rear screen is very cloudy, but i'll get some of that stuff that was rec'd here to me, and give that a try. the hood is in great nick and works A1.

first impressions of driving it, it doesn't half remind me of my golf mk1 gti to drive, and the hewn from solid catagory, feels really wierd driving so low to the ground 'an all.............. :lol:

i'm giving it a really good clean and polish/wax and a good interior clean too on sunday (weather permitting!!!!!) and a good check over, then its off for its service etc....

oh, and the clock works!!! :lol:


i need to clear the garage out too, i haven't had time yet, so as soon as its cleared, it'll be living in there.

Well done! Enjoy it. Next time I'm down, I'll pop round. The rest of my family live in Moreton, so only a couple of minutes from you.

sadly, with the brilliant downpour weve had here all day, there aint any, but i wouldnt take any until its sparkling.

i'm going to dig my meguires 3 part paint cleaner/polish/carnauba out on sun and give it a once over. i'll take it to the hand car wash first tho!
what is the best thing to clean the linen leather with? its not mingin', but it could do with a clean!

regards, Al.

I use the meguires on my linen leather. I do plan to re-do the seats later in the year with "liquid leather".

nice choice Al . :wink: not had open top motoring for 20 years since my MGB days at Uni .
Hope you can muster a picture some time.

The seat motor may simply be jammed Try rocking the elec switch whilst vigorously shoving the seat .Thats all mine needed.
