Well, it's a bit longer than expected....

The "oil" in the power steering bottle has been changed too. The fact is that a 25 year old "oil" don't leak with a 25 years old seal. The leak appears with new oil
So the seal will have to be found and changed.

The twoo hoses going to the heating have been changed too? And so we've found that

and it broke down when we tried to clean it, so one more new part

And last but not least....
The car has been refused by the Belgian MOT becausse of that

They found it is not an "original part" so we have to put the old disc back on place just to go to the MOT

Yes it is stupid

But the end is close
