Interior clean up

So after collecting the car and cleaning up the outside it was time to move to the interior which was full of mould and generally covered in dirt.

After a lot of AutoGlym Interior Shampoo I ended up with this

The interior came up fairly well on camera but in reality it was still pretty filthy with the carpet varying wildly between beige and brown to black in places. Despite all this cleaning it really didn't help get rid of the musky smell but it did dull it somewhat.

After making it a bit more bearable to be inside it was time to investigate what worked and what didn't. Here's the list of things that weren't working:

Air con - No, half of the system is completely missing
Heater controls - Only one control was working and the fan was only working on 1&2 after replacing a fuse.
Horn - No
Dash lighting - Sort of
Clock - YES!
Electric windows - Yes for the driver's window and sort of for the passenger side
Electric mirrors - No

I think you get the idea, it was a bit shabby in there. The heater controls were not working due to the clips that hold the cables in place being missing and the part that they clip onto being broken, fan switch was faulty, horn wasn't working due to the wires being wrapped around the connectors instead of using spade connectors, dash lighting just needed new bulbs luckily. Air Con has so much of the system missing and even if it was there it would need a load of money spend on it upgrading to use modern refrigerant that it just wasn't work bothering about.

A bit of investigating behind the centre console revealed that half the dials here weren't working due to either not being connected or connected badly. A quick tidy up sorted most things up back here.
