In what appears to be a trend now, here is the monthly update for the Marina.

With the driveshaft all fresh and clean, all I needed to do was crawl under the car and refit it. While under there though, I thought it prudent to replace the last remaining fluids.
Finally, second time lucky, it was time to replace the old four-spoke wheel with my three-spoke.
One thing that bugged me since I got the Carib was that the ignition barrel had been damaged, both making it hard to accurately insert the key, and making it look somewhat dodgy.
One difference the Pre-Facelift Carib has is that the taillights are big solid colour blocky things. I didn’t really like them, so off they came.
One part I neglected to address in my previous post about the driveshaft was the sliding yoke. It was seized, and no amount of pretending it wasn’t was freeing it up.
It feels like it’s been a huge uphill battle getting a working tacho in this car, but I think I have finally mastered it.
With WOF day looming, I had a few more things to get ready, starting with a wheel alignment.
I swear Deferred Maintenance should be the title of all my posts, because sure enough, here we are again.
