What did you and your MK2 do today?

Yeah changed it to the one that was supplied with the new filter. Definitely the seal that was causing the issue. New filter an o ring has sorted it.
Might price some new discs and pads up today or finally order my H&R's.
just noticed my front ns foglamp glass is cracked. Is it just a glass front that i need to replace it? cant remember without removing it.....
i believe its a sealed unit, you'll need to replace the whole thing but doesnt take long to do yourself
2 new tyres today.
225/45/zr17 91Y, Michelin Pilot Sport 3's £88.78 each Inc VAT fitted at Costco
For anyone interested, the 18's - 225/40/zr18 are £95.98 Inc VAT fitted.
I appreciate people may prefer other tyre brands or tyre outlets, but just putting it up for comparison to other tyre places

after posting a thread earlier in the week which had no replies, I decided to take a bit of a gamble and ordered this.
3 " downpipe with 200 cell race cat. brand new and delivered for less than £200, quality seems pretty good, I doubt it will last a long as a bcs or milltek but for the money, very happy indeed.

That actaully looks really good quality and at that price you cant really go too wrong.
If it fits fine id have that over the miltek myself, does it have two holes in it for lambda sensors?

Mrs picked up a puncture in the left rear - huge metal bolt right through the middle. Went to ProTyre to get it fixed to find out it's blown the inner seals and needed replacing. They were halfway through putting a cheap tyre on to last me when they spotted the front left had a huge bulge and was dangerous.
Did done research and decided to follow everyone's advice and had 2 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy2's fitted to the front and moved the crappy Kumho Ecsta XT KU37s to the rear. £81.60 each in 225/40/R18 format plus £25 fitting, so around £197 all in including balancing and tracking
Unbelievable difference! Was struggling to put the 260bhp down with the Ecstas before, especially in the wet but now it just pulls and grips!
Also replaced the crappy yellow halogen DRLs and sidelight bulbs with LEDs from Hids-Direct as well, look awesome with the Xenons and no Cambus errors!

Fitted my Triple R splitter and changed my hpfp cam follower this morning.
Looks good mate, mines is on its way. Hopefully this week
Fits perfectly mate, 2 holes for lambda probes, you also get a decent clamp and new exhaust gasket for the turbo. Just need a stage 2 map now. Less than 200 quid over 600 for a milltek, I'm glad I took the punt. If we were not saving for a house it would have been a bcs, but hey I'm happy.
