[Peugeot-L] This and that - status on my 87S

Not that anyone cares... but the list has been really slow lately.

I have such a laundry list of crap that needs to be done on the car it's not funny.

But, I've been stockpiling parts like mad, so I'm dealing with one step that can take forever.

All is random, of course. :)

Installed new Bosch AIC valve. Still idles high. I'm almost positive that the hose that runs from the AIC to the throttle body is toast. It has the original one-time-use Oetiker clamp on the TB side, so that bad boy will have to be replaced. Funny, rubber just doesn't last 18 years in an engine compartment. It surely looks to be a NLA part, so I'll take the hose off and take it to parts stores and say "match this". Always lots of fun. I'm keeping track of matched hose numbers, so N9T owners who need them can get them from the website.

Still to install: new knock sensor and euro lights.

I still need a bolt that holds the rear left (driver's [USA]) side seat belt (shoulder harness) secure. Mine's missing.

Still need anthracite (dark gray) seats. Front and rear. Leather.

PS leaking. Pretty badly. Seems to leak when car is off. I parked it for a month and came back to find a long snaking lake. Could be resevoir, hoses or rack. With my luck, it's probably the rack. No, make that all three.

Alternator intermittantly charging. Have to get my lazy butt under there to check it out. Or pull the alternator and take it back to shop and have it rebuilt.

Still, it was fun driving the car the last few days. So much nicer than the Toyota.

I swear, I will have a 100% perfect 505 someday. Anybody actually have one?
