Today I.....

[simufly]

Undid a PO’s bodges. Rear brake shoes missing two springs, including the one that sets the self adjuster key. No wonder the park brake handle was vertical!
Fitted new shocks and rear springs. Both existing springs missing the lower half a turn of spring. New bottom mounts.
Need to replace the OS brake pipe and the two flexis but will leave that for another day.

Today Frankie had his winter wheels and tyres fitted, 16" A1 wheels,

today i got around to getting the rear interior dome light working. i assumed the bulbs had gone but they were fine.
took the housing out and the lights came on.

seems the wires and pins have to be held in a taut position not unlike a usb charging cable that needs to be bent at 90* in order to work!

this fix didnt last a long time so i followed the advice offered here by @wilco184 and hey presto, a working rear interior light!

I think I prefer those wheels to the other set you had on there 👍

I think I do too, suit Frankie better, I will have to find another set for the summer as these have winter tyres on

ARGGHHH - Today the decision to drive through floodwater last week has definitely come back to bite me - I now have a noisy wheel bearing, so I assume the grease has been washed out....

Note to self - NEVER drive through flood water again.

Can't find pepperpots anywhere so started playing with the vinyl cutter .

Managed to drill out the abs sensor. Was the original one so done well 👏. All lights out so far so good!

Another job that might appear on my To Do list. 👍

Definitely get the drill ready!! I soaked it with solvents over a week and it didn't help really, been in 18 years. I drilled 4mm then wiggled and screwdriver in and out to kind of drag it up and out..

I was lucky I got mine out complete from my 2002 but it's a real lottery!

I've borrowed this pic from one of the users who's selling his A2, as I'm wondering what are these in the mold?
Mine is empty apart from the jack lift. I only recognise the tyre iron as well. I guess some kind of spanner and screwdriver?

Evening,

Not my finest work below but think I’ve pretty much answered your question:

Where the compressor should be looks to possibly an after market FAK.

Kind regards,

Tom

And just near the handle of the wheel brace is the little pick for pulling the centre caps off 😀

Good spot Ed,

Missed that earlier. I will study in greater detail before posting from now on Sir. I’ve just done my 10 press ups of punishment for missing this.

Kind regards,

Tom

Thank you Tom for spending time on editing this at such late/early hour!
I've been wondering about what goes there. I've somehow actually had the compressor and sealant under the front driver seat, not in the boot, but no tools at all. I've just actually read it, it's due the subwoofer takes up the space in the boot
Thanks again and have a good Sunday!

There were 3 styles of tool holder fitted to the A2 depending on the year or if Bose was fitted....

This was the early type.

The later type.

If Bose was fitted the boot looks like this and the tools were located under the right front floor compartment....

Can't find a picture of the actual tool foam under the front floor.

I cant quite get a grip of what is the screw-like thing just on the left side of the compressor (in the old design picture), which also appears on the later picture on the right side of the tyre sealant?
