Riveting...

Postby daddy cool » Wed Feb 15, 2006 9:26 pm

Got a sudden urge to open the bonnet on my van today (only the 2nd time since I got it in June :oops: ). Think I just wanted to identify some of the parts that I've seen talked about on the forum. Found the power steering reservoir hanging down by the fan cowl! Is it usual for it to just be riveted to the slam panel? Would have thought the bracket would have been spotted or something.
Even if you don't need it, grab it.
The minute you do need it, it'll be gone.
