what have you done to your car today ?

[bruceR]

Rattle (tinny sound) coming from front right-ish engine area while driving, happens mostly at 1500rpm in most gears.
Found the right undertray cover support loose with snapped spring clips, replaced these and test drive still rattling.
The 2 rear bolts were missing from either side supports so installed riv-nuts and secured the side supports and undertray.
Raging as it’s still rattling - hope it’s not my clutch starting to go

The worst thing happened...


I lost a skirt cover

Oh no! Mine are screwed on. I keep a small stubby screw driver in the spare wheel kit just incase.
Which one? I might have a spare.
I’ve a couple of skirts at the side of my shed but I can’t remember which are on and which aren’t. They’re silver though and probably scratched.
When I was having some paint done on my car last time, I got them to paint up a full set in yellow just incase.
They’re wrapped in bubble wrap in a box in the loft.

That's frustrating, especially after fixing some possible offenders. So hard to guage too when you're driving & stationary ?
Hopefully not the clutch ?

Bit more progress

another mod today, wanted a flat bottomed wheel on my old audi but it had multimedia controls and i wasnt paying the money for one so added a cheap and cheerful flat bottom wheel to the cupra, wheel, boss kit and wire for disabling airbag cost £89, now to find a seat or cupra badge that will fit the middle.

It is a daily driver? I can't see myself taking off the driver airbag - it could save my life - but mine is a daily driver.

1. I'm just giving her a clean, ready for when I pass my test tomorrow ?just got to do the rapid ceramic and clean the windows. Maybe do a little inside. I'll send a couple more pics when that's done.

2. Why am I not getting notifications on.posts anymore

 

[jlv81]

Not sure tue rapid ceramic did anything spectacular. Hopefully it at least helps with the rain. Next time, i think I'll get her detailed by a professional

All the best for tommorow mate.

 

[jlv81]

@Nathan penney cheers mate. I should have just done my test 26 years ago. But I used to live in London, so didn't need it. Plus I was always out on the piss

 

[jlv81]

I'll be taking her out on the road a bit later on boys

Congratulations! Assume it was good news then? Unless you’re driving illegally?

Lol. Yeah it was good news. I didn't a couple of things that would have been a major fault on the lesson before. So it just made my anxiety even worse, but at least I passed. With only 3 minors

Grats! May the roads be kind to your ride ?

What's the deal on the MOT history? Website says was done in March and it only has 20k miles? (Sorry for being nosey!)

Yeah, done in March. Only 20k miles nealy 21k. Never had an advisory

 

[Alexis27]

Crickey, that must be lowest mileage in the country

Maybe. And most probably cost the most. Still looks nearly new underneath. I had a look when it was on the ramp for the MOT. I was going to get one to mod, but it's all pretty much original. Apart from an air filter and exhaust. So I'm doubtful I'll do much to it in the future

 

[jlv81]

Just got back from my first drive. Thought I'd go out when the roads were quiet. Got to go and get the wheel alignment done at 10:30
