    Got hold of an XP2 bumper in reasonable condition. Bit of drive to pick it up.

    I stripped it all down.
    A couple of minor repairs to the splitter.
    Rubbed it all down with 400 wet/dry, filled any major scrapes, and used knifing putty on all the road rash.

    Drilled the holes for the parking sensors and cut outs for the headlight washers.
    IMG_20220502_151906.jpgIMG_20220502_151909.jpg

    Primed it and had it sprayed properly.

    Got hold of some fog lamps from a Fiesta, but with the correct Valeo part number.

    Then put it all together:

    Pulled up at traffic lights yesterday.
    Another car pulled up alongside.
    The bloke leaned out and said "I used to have one of those. I regret selling it. Lovely, lovely cars".

    So the front bumper needed a couple of repairs, and I took the opportunity to put these new mounting brackets on. So much better than the old ones.

    Also thought I'd try these @newboy babies. Despite having preferred the chrome lights, I really like them

    Deep cleaned the rear cabin (it was a filthy dog hair mess). Spruced up the leather and re-installed the better of my travel assistants.
    Opened a brand new set of Vauxhall Signum (or Vec Estate) deluxe carpet mats.
    Front cabin tomorrow

    And the front.
    I used to keep the car like this all the time.
    Going to try and keep on top of it again. It makes me feel happy

    So the fuel filler cap wouldn't open again.
    Checked fuse 20 in the REC and it was OK this time.
    Time to replace the motor.
    IMG_20220831_205404.jpg

    Had a spare, OEM one, but high mileage, so bought a new compatible one off ebay (£19).
    It took me a while to work out how to remove the old motor.
    On the Signum there is an access space, just big enough to get your fingers in - no need to remove any trim panels thankfully.

    There are two clips on the bracket, holding the motor in place. Detached the connector.
    Then wiggled it until it comes free. Promptly dropped it.
    I'll need to remove the bumper to retrieve it later.
    IMG_20220831_203758.jpg

    Then removed the bracket held on with two torx T15 bolts inside the filler cap.
    IMG_20220907_170801.jpg

    Clipped the motor into the bracket and replaced, re-attaching the connector before screwing back the bolts.
    IMG_20220907_170524.jpg

    Double-checked it was working.
    IMG_20220907_171721.jpg

    All good.

    The EVAP Purge Valve Solenoid thingy was playing up.
    Had a spare, fairly new one. Swapped them over without removing too much behind the engine - one pipe and one nut.
