what have you done to your car today ?

[Bigjohn84]

Drove back from Aberdeen, all was going well until I run over some stones at about 50mph.
A mile later a "beep" and red oil light came on then went off
Another mile and more beeps with red oil light flashing, so I pulled over, stopped engine and called AA.
Turns out one of the stones (about golf ball size) punctured the sump
Now just have to wait to get it looked at and hope that I switched off before much damage
Effin' gutted...............

That's a bad one mate, sorry to here that, hope you get it sorted

I'm just about to go try fit the upper fuel line from the tank to the filter, not looking forward to doing it as I'm gonna have to drop the tank a little bit.

Mate helped me do a service on it. Changed spark plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, the oil itself, and the other week I finally got round to resealing the door cards, which had been bodged with silicon before- please no-one do the quick fix. It's not worth it if you have to re-do it as its such a pain to take off!

 

[wazza5]

Rear left door seals got done today. At some point somebody had taken silicone to it instead of doing it properly!!!

 

[Bigjohn84]

Am I the only one that doesn't have problems with my door seals lol, shouldn't jinx myself lol, done nothing today, tomorrow is my day for gutting the car out even tho it's always clean anyway lol

I have just taken the front wipers off, now I'm about to sand them down and then re paint them, nice gloss black. Need to find other stuff to do as I'm running out lol

 

[LEE69]

Change the standard wipers for golf mk4 ones

Change the standard wipers for golf mk4 ones

What's the difference mate?? Instead of black was thinking about doing them the same colour as the car?

That was nearly 6 years ago!! lol you can open the clamp on the wiper and slide it across the extra 1" you need to clear the trim

 

[Bigjohn84]

They look good mate, but not that keen on cutting the window trim lol

 

[Bigjohn84]

Well that's me just sanded my wiper arms, just need to re spray them now, might wait till morning to do that, now I need to think what I'm going to do next, yesterday I cleaned the head lineing in my car, wasn't dirty but what a difference can't believe how dirty the water was wen rinsing the cloth, maybe tomorrow I'll fit my upper fuel line to my tank, been dreading this lol.anyho talk later.

Keys

Finished off my flip key conversion

How you do this flip key conversion?

and while i'm on keys- anyone else little radio transmitter on the key not working? I changed the batteries and it still doesn't work. Is there some reprogramming sequence I have to do like for the car stereo when you change the car battery... ?
