Installed new iPhone 5 holder

52k thought there might have been a bit more wear, not too sure it was really worth doing

Mine looked the same as yours at 40k, I figured as there was visible wear it might as well get replaced while the fuel pump was off.

Today I picked my car up from the bodyshop after a nightmare couple of weeks

Why?

 

[Joshkcupra]

PCV valve is knackered, if I open the oil dipstick whilst the engine is running it chokes the engine completely

Ordered interior LEDs off the bay.

Also found some 40mm H&R springs for £165 delivered from Germany. Too good a price to refuse so might have to make the purchase.

Im having the car machine polished tomorrow so jet washed it, washed it clay bar then washed it again today, I got so much tar and muck off the paint work and I only clayed it 3 months ago...After that I was bored so fitted my gasket that's been sat in the draw for 6 weeks to try and help with my stutter, then laminex'd my foglights, it took me longer to get them out than it did to laminex them!!!!!

You'll need to clean it again tomorrow though surely?

Yer I will be doing it again tomorrow morning before its done, but it'll just be a quick wash over in the morning to remove the drive overs grime, the big wash was today...

 

[Crafoo]

Ahh fair one, I could just hear the sound of all those tiny little bits of dirt and grit being ground into the paintwork lol

Took my k1 up santapod to a rwyb day. Got 7 runs all with passenger bar my first run which was my best at 13.556 and terminal speed of 106.67mph. Not to bad considering I'm running super budget tyres atm! Think I'll be needing a new clutch sooner rather than later tho

Looks good, out of interest how much is the machine polishing costing?

£60.00 for just a stage 1 polish all over.

Getting ready to take mine for its second service at Western Seat, hope they are better than Arnold Clark !!

Also picking up my new FR badge for the front bumper

Not a bad price really.

Not a bad price really.

Hes been @ it 4hrs & it sparkles bigtime, theres still sone marks in the paintwork but mine would need a stage 2 polish and about 8hrs to get rid of some of the deep scratches...

Car done, snapped spring on back so needs to go back in under warranty.

Just puts a hold on lowering until fitted

If you're getting it lowered anyway then don't bother getting a new spring under warranty. It's highly unlikely you'd put the standard suspension on to sell the car! It wouldn't be worth the time/money to swap the springs to sell your used lowering springs for £50-£100.

Yeah that's true but on the chance of me not having the car long I'll wait a week or two to be done.

I do take your point.....
