passat glass moonroof and dynamatted the boot and polished

Fitted some Iridium NGK plugs. They feel better than the Bosch plugs i removed - smoother idle, more power and no more pinking at low revs. I'm not sure if its because the old plugs were past their best or if the VR prefers the NGK's but it is a nicer drive now :D

Well not on the Rado, but on my Mk1 Rocco changed the radiator, flushed the coolant system and refilled with delicious new G12+

 

Noticed a knackered Infinity 9603i rear speaker in my Rado, started to crack sound-wise, and yup, membrane looks fubar :mad: Will have to look at some longer -lasting speakers, I guess. Quite happy with the Infinity's in my Roccos (but they were the predecessor model, the 6953i (can't help myself to think that those have become the new Kappa range, whereas the Reference 9603 range is of inferior quality to compete in the low-end chav-end of the market ...).

Fitted my new wheels to the n/s for a quick peep

[24V Renshaw 0]

Cleaned my wheels because I couldn't be ar5ed to wash the whole car, but I didn't want the salt digging into them too much.

Oh and tightened up a slightly loose inner CV joint which I noticed was clicking.
