Hey guys,
its been a little while again since I updated my blog or the forums but that doesn't mean nothing has been done in the meantime.
I simply have no time to sit down and upload pictures and write about my progress. So much is going on in my life atm (which is all positive and good) and I have been working on Nessy in the meantime as well.
For all who are curious, I will give you a (picture-less) update now!
I have replaced the waterpump, thermostat and fan and put everything back together. Unfortunately i cracked the thermostat housing while putting it back, a new one is on the way already.
I ran into one problem while fitting everything, it was the fan catching slightly on one of the hoses. With some suggestions from the forum and some research I wanted to fix the problem but then the funniest thing happened.
Before I did some blocking of pipes, cutting etc, I actually just took all pipes off (intercooler pipes) and put them back on, but moved them slightly. With that little trick i was a bit playing around until i managed to clear the fan area. It is still very close to the hose (2mm) but will definitely do it now.
After that I had her up and running and everything went fine.
Since I have an aftermarket steering wheel (Personal) I had to get the horn sorted, so my S14 will pass NCT (MOT). Since electronics and wires are not my cup of tea, I asked a buddy for help, who did a fantastic job!
We also measured a few wires/plugs to see what was working and not which helped me learn more about my care and aallllllll the wires.
My next plan is now:
Fix (solder) the reverse light wires
Fix (solder) the indicator wires
Fix (solder) the washer wires
Not sure if the breaking-wire is a thing now with S-bodys or if its just my luck haha.
Not much is left now and I also booked an appointment with NCT in 3 weeks time.
That means in exactly 3 weeks she will be out on the road again!!
Stay tuned for that!!!!! :)
Cornelia
