What did you and your MK2 do today?

The plan is to install led bulbs all around the car
Did the inside last night

But haven’t had any bulds on the inside before with out an error. So not holding my breath
 
I got the side lights, indicators, reverse and fog lights in no worry
Tried to put in number plate light. It worked for a few mins. Made a buzz and turned off both lights. Replaced it to the old one started right up

Give the car a quick clean, to remove the road grit.

Used auto finesse avalanche snow foam left to dwell for 5mins, power washed off.

Then onto a wash down with power maxed wax shampoo.

Finally a drying with my trusty wizard of detailing towel.

Depending on the weather in the morning I may go over the car with a quick detailer and then apply a layer of natty paste wax.

Think I found the cause gearbox issue I have been having. When still it would go into first fine but if moving then it would resist going into first on the first attempt but release pressure and push again it would go into first ok. On the top where the arms attach to the gearbox i noticed some shiney scrape marks. Went to move the arm and it was extremely wobbly with the arm scraping on the gearbox need to test tonight and get a socket on it but finger tightened it to stop the arm scraping. You can see where its cut the sticker in half and made shiney metal.

Nut has come loose again so tightened the nut and will put some threadlock on it tomorrow.
 
finally got my hb4 spot bulbs installed
just need to get number plate lights that work and h1 bulbs that fit, the ones i got where to thick for the hole
 
Blocked the EGR vacuum, engine seems more responsive but that could be a placebo. Noticed oil spray coming out of the EGR but not sure if that’s new or not.
