Done the headlining today but the material is the wrong colour. It did come with the car

I have heard that a perfect match for the original headlining used on Maestro and Montego (and therefore probably on contemporary 200 and 800 ranges) is no longer available, but Woolies can supply a fairly close alternative.

Stripped the near side rear electric motor a part to see if it was fixable. Fitted new set of brushes and the motor worked. So refitted it into the car.
