It had also been standing for a while because the alternator pulley had corroded solid to the body of the alternator so i whipped it out (by whipped out i mean i spent a week agonizing over the best way to remove the bugger that didn't require a plasma cutter) in the end i unbolted the suspension jacked up the engine and wiggled like my life depended on it.
Then discovered that mitsubishi wanted about £500 for a new one so using expletives that i shall not repeat here i looked on ebay and got a brand spanking new one for £90
.Then i discovered the hand brake had decided to rust solid but with a hammer a screw driver and a can of wd40 i convinced it to hold the round things still.
Then on the morning of it's MOT i found that the indicator lights that tell you what gear it's in had stopped working completley and it seemed sluggish which i now know means it put itself in third gear also it stopped beeping when put in reverse.
But i didn't have time then to worry about it so it went for it's MOT (which it passed) now i am trying to figure out what this new problem is i cant imagine it is a mechanical issue since the car wasn't in use for quite a while before i got it and was working fine before i started work on it, and wasn't driven at all before the MOT.
I tried resetting the computer but that didn't help,so now i am just confused it is now at a garage but they haven't figured it out yet either so any ideas would be welcome.
I'd put a picture up but i've spent so much time under it that i haven't had a chance to do any posing yet
