Appart from a little rubbing from the rear tyres she performed very well.. 900 miles covered, but 90 miles fro home the heater went cold and I watched the water temp climb&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I switched off and coasted down the hard shoulder looking for a phone box, fortunatly I spotted an AA van instead and rolled up behind him&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We dragged the car to the nearest service station an put more water in, she started up cleanly but the rivver of water from under the car was a bad sign. we found a hole in the water pump..<\/p>\n<p>A week later, a lot of swearing and the replacement pump was fitted&#8230; No aparent damage was done to the engine.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I have now sourced a pair of good front fogs, a bonnet in silver and grill. I took two bonnets of at the scrappy but the first MINT one was blown over as I scavenged other parts \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully tomorrow I will get to fitting it up. I also found a perfect set of heater vents ( commonly broken on MK1&#8217;s )<\/p>\n<p>The sierra GT has had nothing done bar a pair of rear hatch struts ( which has not helped the head clobering hatch!! )<\/p>\n<p>The golf is getting started every week to keep it fresh.<\/p>\n<p>The scorpio is reluctant to have it&#8217;s exhaust fixed, I tried yesterday to drill the snapped stud but it was no go!!<\/p>\n<p>The sapphire suffed two battle scars in the last week. I caught the door and scraped of some paint last week, and yesterday a spare door was blown over and dinked the wing \ud83d\ude41 &#8230; I did fit a late cable release boot latch yesterday though. and last week I pulled the fault codes and there was nothing unexpected \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The only major purchase has been a 2.0 16V Scorpio engine to play with &#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>The garage plans are moving forward \ud83d\ude42<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, the week after getting the Mondeo wheel bearing done we went to devon ( 370 miles ) for our holiday.
