We only picked up the 02 Heritage 600ES last week so we Cleaned her up good n proper inside and out! Replaced the Glycol in the Alde heating system, inspected the brakes & repacked all the bearings, fixed half a dozen window blinds and fly screens, tested everything works and found a few faults to deal with.
Seems the seller was less than honest when he said there were no faults, I've got some woodwork to glue up around a few hinges on lower cupbards, I think they'll come good though. The handbrake needs a new assistor spring (got the part number from bpw) the jockey wheel clamp needs the crimped screw welding as it just spins, and there's an earth fault on the road lights. The battery monitor seems to have had the wires pulled off the meter, tho the charger is working fine.
After going round with a damp meter before I agreed a price I realised I forgot to check the celing when the tell tale drip drip apeared during the first downpour! Seems the seller had been round with a silicon gun to hide it, complete bodge, so today I removed the bedroom skylight and it looks like I've caught it in time, the wood was very wet so I've covered the hole with a big tarp, wound the heating up and left a big dehumidifier in the bedroom overnight, I went in after a couple of hours and it's already quite dry, should be good n dry enough to refit the skylight properly tomorrow, phew! Still, it gave us chance to strip the skylight down and clean all the moss and dead insects out of it, came up good as new!
next job is sorting the road lights wiring, can't be as bad as Land Rover wiring
Is the external BBQ gas point a standard fitting? We've got the oringinal BBQ still in the box unused but there's no connector (probably why it's stll brand new )
