I will. I must. :lol:

It is rare to see Astina in good condition. An this mine is in very good condition. There's only a little surface rust.

I wanna post some pics with BBS, but I accidentally delete them from my phone.

Yes very rare to come across a rust free example i rust treat and wax oil mine every year and mine as very little rust and i try to avoid taking it out in the winter. Rust as killed a lot off cars here in the UK and using salt on the roads don't help

It is the same in Croatia
Except that my car had to be used in winter because of the big distance from the school.

Today was the day of the MOT.
Very impatiently and with great fear.
However it is beauty of 25 years on wheels.

Just few moments before! (In front of me was an old truck (Diesel + LPG :shock:

) and two or three cars, which are not seen because they were already in. Plus traktor and scooter.)

And finally after nearly 3 hours of waiting because there was only one worker.
MOT PASSED! :!:

No mistakes. Brakes are correct. Without a lot of variations.
Ok I lied! The only one mistake! The lights do not rise when I include them with the lever next to the steering wheel, but they have to raise by pressing button. :roll:

what he said Hahaha ^^^^^^^^^

Font tires are little slick (6mm pattern of 8 I think) , but they are OK for this summer.
Brakes are good.

There will be no need for that. :lol:

And I think that the way to come to me will cost you a lot of money! :lol:

**Posted:** Tue Aug 23, 2016 10:52 am

Excellent, Stephan!! It's so good to see it on the road :thumbright:

Now you must find a reaaaaally good location and take some cool photos for your avatar, to replace the crashed one

I guess it will be. If there is anything I'd talk to my mom to take pictures while I driving.

Well, I think you're kidding.
The trip to London in one direction, driving is approximately 1900 kilometers.
And ofc i don't know drive on left side of road in LHD car.
It could be that an accident on the road. (In UK)

Maybe if someone from the Croatian went to UK. But again, that trip will be ccost a lot and too much money.

To tell you the truth. I was thinking about how to sit in the car and do it. :lol:

MadazInBris
I see. It would be interesting. :thumbright:

Falken tyres are pretty good Stephan, don't know what's available in Croatia but save dammit SAVE !!

I don't know. But I will check.
For now, this will still serve until November when I put winter tires.
Then take off 195/50 r15 and put the factory 175/70 r13. :roll:

**Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2016 12:55 pm

175/70 r13 - We call them razor blades here :lol:

Angle grinder discs.. :lol:

**Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2016 6:55 pm

We got here in Croatia and less tire sizes.
For example. 155/70 R13 or 145/70 R13. :lol:

How would you call it? :scratch:

**Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2016 7:40 pm

Mini Compact Discs! :thumbright:

(we have them to overe here) :lol:

**Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2016 8:22 pm

As a factory equipment?
Here in Croatia this size as factory equipment on all older and smaller models of the car. Example Ford Fiesta, Fiat Uno, etc. :lol:

**Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2016 10:12 pm

My Peugeot 205 is equipped with 175/70/13''
it's winter tyres are 165/75/13'' :lol:

**Posted:** Thu Aug 25, 2016 3:59 pm

Trainer wheels! :lol:

On the subject of weird sizes...

145SR10 (mind you, I think minis used them) on a Daihatsu Handivan...2 cyl 617cc...I kid you not! It was the family 'shopping trolley', and a good 'un too.

165SR15 on a Volvo 144

So at least they say.

As I wrote in BG section. My car is in a big mess. As for electronics.
1. Raising light
Now
2. Rear left fog light is working together with a stop light
3. Reverse lights do not work at all.
What is next?

I'm going crazy because of this now.

**Posted:** Fri Aug 26, 2016 9:30 pm

Almost g'teed that's an EARTH problem !!
Re-do all the earth strap to chassis points. Corrosion/rust/oxidisation :/
Reverse light switches on gearboxes FAIL due to old age

I think you are right it does sound like a earth problem. ^^^^.

Can you get a mobile auto electrion to come and have a look
I hope you get this sorted asap Stephan

**Posted:** Sat Aug 27, 2016 8:10 am

Maybe it is.
I had to change the polarity of the LEDs for amplifier. (Red to green for turned on)
And when I came back it all back (located below the radio) button is touched the metal at the radio and the radio fuse threw a spark. I changed them around 10 until I figured out what was the matter.
Maybe then something confused.
Today then follows check fuses and ground.

**Posted:** Sat Aug 27, 2016 8:43 am

You should have started with that.To be objective people need information for when it begin to behave like you prescribe it.. so you can shortcircuit some cables or even worse something at the fuse box..
Check and recheck everything is ok.Or call electrician to come and see where is the problem.
the earths problem you can solve yourself i believe..
Crossing fingers it's not in the fusebox because it's nasty if it's there.. atleast on my Peugeot was..

**Posted:** Sat Aug 27, 2016 11:38 am

Found fault with regards rear lights.
Reverse lights were blown. Left fog was tuned on because of this on the pictures.

**Posted:** Sat Aug 27, 2016 12:34 pm

Ahhhh, now the story starts coming out...and I just replied to the other thread. Hmmm... :-?

Patrick

**Posted:** Sat Aug 27, 2016 1:55 pm

Yeah.

But slowly and with some patience I will fix it all.

**Posted:** Thu Sep 01, 2016 9:29 am

A few days ago I tried to fix headlights. By changing the lever next to the steering wheel.
And when returning the steering wheel back I happened to him too turnaround in right and today follows correcting it. :roll:

Early morning pictures. Bad qualitat of pics.
