what have you done to your car today ?

[Danio]

Yeh only one, good luck getting the rear plastic off the boot to take the wiper out. Prob the most impossible job on this car.

That's not a tip, that making me hesitant about the job!

Ah well, I'll give it a go then come back with pictures saying yeah, piece of cake

 

[Bigjohn84]

Haha i no I was taking the piss haha nightmare of a job, once it's off it will never sit on straight again and that's if you get it off, if you don't get it off, the middle clip will prob burst the middle of the plastic, good luck

 

[Danio]

Meh that's OK, I'll jus be brave and Attack it.. If it breaks then I'm weight saving

[ChrisKav1971]

Yep, I wasn't bothered but caught him looking across and then he revved it, big mistake!!!
The gauntlet had been thrown down, I can resist everything but temptation He followed me into Harwood but hung back Must admit I'm loving this car, far better than the Mk4 Golf 20vt I had

 

[Bigjohn84]

That's what we like to hear lol

 

[ChrisKav1971]

Having my 1.6s Leon written off was a blessing in disguise, get in

 

[Bigjohn84]

Haha that's a shame, it's alway to Leon heaven, should have kept it for parts

 

[ChrisKav1971]

It's still on the road, sold it my neighbour's son for £200 Cat D, it was written off due to paintwork scrape all the way down the near side, nothing structural or mechanically wrong with it. It was a nice and tidy car for the year

 

[Bigjohn84]

More pictures of my oil catch can

 

[Danio]

Plugged in to the car and cleared a load of fault codes, still some left but be alright! Carried out a few courtesy checks, top up fluids, tyre pressures etc, had an air con regas and then carried out an N249 bypass/removal..

 

[Bigjohn84]

Went out for a barbie with my son and misses, and took loads of good photos of my car, hears few of them lol

I changed spark plugs and coil packs due to a misfire. Discovered it was a damaged electrical connection on coil 1 and 2. Got the clips sorted and locked in place and it worked perfect again.
I suppose new sparks and coils are only a good thing

You will prob notice better mpg with new coils and plugs, what plugs did you get? NGK ones are the best for our car, I just paid £45 for a set of 4 lol massive difference in the car.

 

[Upia]

I got some BKR7E NGK ones, they were the ones that were already in the car.
And yes it does seem slightly better on fuel and it seems to be smoother too so I'm not bothered about having to replace them.
Need to work on my list of things to do.
Any info on getting the cd changer out of the glovebox?
