My mate was running this Toldeo for a good few years until it started to let in water. Due to it becoming like a swamp he stuck it away in a lock-up 20 months ago and forgot about it. Just before Christmas I asked him what had happened to it and he mentioned that it was still in the lock-up so we went up to have a look and see what kind of condtion it was in.
We found 4 flat tyres and a dead battery when we arrived - but I do love a challenge!
Here it is as it stood then:
And here is what the interior looked like - as I said - I love a challenge!
Yep - Thats MOULD!!!!
Heres the back window showing how damp the interior was:
So we got it started, put air in the tyres and managed to limp it round to mine. Every warning beep was going off, the radio was making a horrendous screetching noise, the Hazards, Heater, Wipers and headlights weren't working. This turned out to be due to all the water which had got into the electrical components which were later removed and thouroughly dried out.
Got the Daisy APC out and soaked and scrubbed the whole interior. The VAX was then brought out and all the manky water was extracted;
