Old valve must have been working still

 

[banksy21]

must of been, oh well i dont have to worry about it now.

I changed from the D to G last week and noticed a difference straight away, especially to fuel consumption in the lower gears. The Rev D looked perfectly healthy still but must've been less efficient by design.

Just wrapped one of my b pillars gloss black. Not sure if I should do the other or just take it off not sold by how it looks.

Better off getting the pillars from Dave @ Sere.
The vinyl takes on the texture from the pillar covers, which looks a bit off.
I did the same thing on our last FR and took it off 10 minutes later

Yeah think I'm going to it takeout off. Only took 10 minutes to do so its not the end of the world.

Exactly. I think it's the conclusion most of us, who have tried this, have come to.

Having said that, some back to black of that GTechniq C4 on it makes a world of difference. It looks quite nice actually.

Good idea, I've got some back to black stuff about somewhere might give it a go.

Give it a oh and post another pre/post shot if you can be bothered. Forgot what it looks like since we got the gloss pillars

Yeah alright, might as well all the trim whilst got out; utilise my day off.

All treated with back to black didn't realise how much difference there was until I put the photos next to each other. As the B pillars were off the car I decided to do them separately, made a massive difference in colour. Cars looks better for it, and certainly better than it did wrapped!

Great success!! Looks miles better.
So just a case of keeping the back to black topped up. Little wipe from time to time.

Got the "last photos" of the LCR yesterday, the dealer I sold the car to has now taken a deposit on it

 

[LeonCR]

Awesome pics Andrew

end of an era for sure

 

[AndrewJB]

Yeh but start of a new one...

 

[percy555]

Hi all, well today I spent a small fortune on a new turbo and a rear wheel bearing for my Mk2 pd140 and have been told I need a new gearbox and the other rear wheel bearing doing. I think that will have to wait a while
