Portent 0 Posted December 24, 2011 I drove from Surrey to Norfolk and back again to see my family. And changed the oil while at my brothers . Currently having a coffee break at South Mimms service station on the M25 on the way back. For most of the trip I got bored with the radio so just switched it off and listened to the engine. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and it's good to give it a nice long run once in a while, especially on the lovely roads up there. I expect I will be washing her tomorrow :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted December 27, 2011 Changed the driver's side handbrake cable (advisory from MOT). The plastic end piece decided to stay in the metal tube :roll: All fitted and OK now. Changed bulb in the instrument panel. Started to treat some rust under the rear of the sills. Looked like it might be pretty bad underneath, but once I'd stripped the underseal, I was pleasantlly surprised at the lack of rot. Only some surface stuff that I ground off with a drill. Primed it with antirust primer, ready for a coat of Rustoleum, followed by underseal and then paint 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dalhalvaig 0 Posted December 27, 2011 Washed the C and RainX'd the front and rear screens. Plan to wax the body - Angelwax - and RainX anti fog the inside of the windows tomorrow morning. Have one coat of the stuff on and working really well. Had wondered if the windows didn't mist up because I keep it in a car port, but last week kept it on the street as our steep drive was frozen and still clear screens. Probably do my wife's Touran too. It's a diesel so takes a while to warm up and demist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonedef 8 Posted December 27, 2011 Got the freshly powder coated rear beam back in with it's new bushes and brake lines.
