Lowered my Diesel one, fitted a new wireless to my yellow one and pulled the engine out of my soon to be 20v one.

After a trip to Gosport and back Thursday, and a weekend at the father in laws in Banbury, a total of about 750 miles without missing a beat, I gave her a quick and deserved wash. It was only quick, cos I spent 2 days detailing it last w.end including sealing and waxing so that was all that was needed. :smug:

got some very very strange looks as washing the car in the rain, drying it after proved very very difficult.

Replaced the glass in my drivers side headlight as it was flagged on MOT it was flagged the light from a left hooker (cheers whoever I bought it from on here) luckily I had a spare unit with a broken case so I swapped the glass and the reflector too as it wasn't brilliant either. So now I have a good drivers side light again that will pass an MOT :)

Fitted new wipers, battery and blower motor for the heater. No more strange groans from under the dash.

Ordered some ridiculously expensive BBS chrome centre badges for my BBS RC's as I could not stand the tatty ones any longer and don't like the black ones.

Its off ebay cost £19 holds four relays, bulky but its gonna live in front of the battery any way. The ebay item number is 170659276225 hope this helps .

Changed the thermostat for the third time this year. Genuine this time, yes yes I've learned my lesson!

 

Had to change block-cooler-water pump hose as it had a small split and slight leak, topped up after all this to notice that actually my leak is coming from the water pump! :censored: So its all coming off again tomorrow! Also dropped sump and cleaned out the pickup, deffo needed it too! Changed oil and filter, dizzy, rotor, plugs and leads, rear wiper, expansion tank and cap. Got fed up so that was it. Fuel filter and cambelt kit next w.end now.

Not sure if this counts, as James @ Sub11 did it for me (top job - recommended in the Peterborough area) but have now got 288 brakes on, so looking forward to being able to stop when I want to! Didn't realise quite how tight they are over Speedlines - have got to get one of the wheels rebalanced as the balancing weight is just rubbing the caliper, so there's a nice t - t - t - t - t - t sound at the moment!
