Serviced + BLT Gasket fix fitted

Ok car serviced with a new cambelt,

also got the new EGR gasket fitted and it has made a noticeable difference to the way the car drives, much sharper through the gears and is a joy to drive, means i can get after things alot more now with out having to go on and off the throttle to get a response well worth the £2.38 i bought them for.

Alright Phil,

You know your nackered headlight - do you fancy selling the little circle thing that protects the bulb & reflects the light as one of my headlights doesnt have one :confused:

I'm hoping they clip off or something, don't want to have to get a whole new headlight :(

MOT don3.... on the 2nd time of asking +Strut Brace

OK so, the car'y' month continues, and as always never straight forward.

Car decided it was a leper and decided to loose a few pounds by leaking screws from the bumper (in fairness that probably due to me hitting somebody's kitty cat this morning :whistle:)

into the garage and fitted up with its new headlight

Also the strut brace went on::

And then its MOT:

Failed first time cause of the HID's being slightly too blue and not the right colour :shrug:

so £25 squid later and a trip to halfrauds it passes:

2010-11-10181258.jpg

so at least now thats 3 jobs done, and the HID's are now refitted for another year lol
