Wanted to get out of house but not deal with heat/crowds so did a bit more #valeting

Cleaned up #engine bay and tested against #WaterIngress - mechanic must have refreshed / checked seals on brake cylinder bulkhead (where water gets in) / or unblocked the drains (leaves and other muck stops them up) as I poured in 6 litres of water where rain would go and none of it got inside the #car

Everyone will be happy to see this back on the road, there's more demand for #automatic #cars than manual ones from our current staff (many of them are from Commonwealth countries where #driving with #AutomaticGearboxes is more popular)

Not the most refined but better than the other #Easytronic 'box in the other Corsa we had..

2006 #Vauxhall / #Opel #CorsaC (one of our fleet #cars sat in yard for over a year) saved from scrap - #WaterIngress (known issue with these cars) led to mould and airbag #ECU getting drowned (took ages to source one that wasn't already goosed for same reason but I found one from London a few days ago.).

Cleaned out mould a few days ago, mechanic next door fitted unit and new starter battery - car now runs and even passed MOT!

Still needs other work, fleet insurance and tax has expired so can only drive it around the yard at the moment or I risk being pulled over (random ANPR checks not uncommon here!), way too hot to do full exterior #detail today so did another extraction of interior seats and some more steam cleaning to get rid of moss growing in various places
