Wet Feet Woes

Well, another un eventful and quiet week. During the week, I spent some more time finishing the paintwork, only a few spots left till it is finished externally.

The bad side..After finally deciding that the leak from my windscreen was coming from the Windscreen/Seal I popped down to the shops and grabbed up some sealant. After a 10 minute careful job all around the screen seal, and a few hours to dry I had seemingly fixed the problem.
That is until the next downpour where I once again end up with wet feet. It will now bear further investigation and additional sealing, perhaps at the Seal/Body area next time.

Aswell as this somewhat minor annoyance, the next problem I noticed was the fact that the "Kickdown" was not functioning. After investigation it was found that the accelerator cable was very badly adjusted and had a lot of play in it. So badly infact that the engine was only delivering 50% of its full power! What a waste of a big engine, although its all sorted now...
Although as an additional to that point, some by racer also got their views sorted when they realized they still couldn't match it for power and acceleration even at 50%!

Well, now its half term and a week long break from Sixth Form I can get round to doing some other jobs..
