Hello! wave driving

Just a quick post to say hi. I've only been in coupe ownership (for the second time) for a week, and thought I'd say hi.

The week has certainly been interesting rotate from a leaky coolant bottle that has at some point been in the front passenger foot well and then made it's way to the boot. So have been trying to dry the passenger footwell and the boot this week. To a snapped t peice from the coolant bottle resulting in the car dumping coolant on the second day. Thankfully as I was parking up, and not the day before when the coupe was making it's 250 mile journey home. Then today having slight wiring issues with the.... Nicely named yellow connector of death smash. Where the car wouldn't prime the fuel pump and wouldn't start. Anyway after some fault finding and wiggling the cables the car fired into life.

All in all it's good to finally be back in a coupe. Just a coupe of issues to sort out. Main one at the moment having an exhaust leak that's making its way into the cabin. I'll take it into a gauge for them to have a look.

One more thing. Massive shout out to Joe knight from fcss. I think his username used to be county cruising? Maybe still is. He's helped me alot this week. So thank you Joe. bow

Welcome Ikon

Snags make having a coupe all the better.
Or so they tell me.

Joe is great. He is country cruising

Welcome Ikon,

Sounds like a crash course in Coupe ownership from the off there - but niggles sorted and she will see you right.

Yes Joe is great- and will see you right!

Where are you in East Sussex? The further from the salty sea the better for your coupe!

Regards

MM

Hi!

Well.... If I walk outside my home and look to the right . I can see the sea about 200m away rotate. I'm just on the costal road in Peacehaven. So, yeah... I think it's going to be a battle. Before the end each summer I'll have to take it into a garage to treat the underside I reckon and tidy up bits. But the want for another coupe out weighed falling through the cars floor crazy. After cleaning the car today I've noticed water on my tool box in the boot. So will have to try and find out where that's coming from... And pretty quickly too.

Water on the toolbox - better than in the toolbox laugh

First check would be the boot seal, make sure there are no small tears on the underside.

Some people have 'plumped-up' the seal by threading windscreen-wash hosing or similar through it.

Years ago you could get replacement seal from FCSS (Countrycruising on here) but I'm fairly sure he's run out, not an easy part to get hold of now.
