what have you done to your car today ?

[dazjstuart]

(Yesterday)
Washed, clayed and waxed it. Came up not too badly, far better than being salt encrusted anyway, some pretty outrageous swirl marks though. Going to get a machine polisher and get on it in a month or two after we start getting some consistently less **** weather. Rubbed out the majority of the scuff the Mrs gave the back bumper a couple of weeks ago . Gave the lights a damn good rub with T-cut and they are now looking pretty good, think I will have to give the headlights a little rub with wet and dry though to bring them up properly.

Then took it to get the wheel alignment sorted, it had previously been set up to account for the **** tyres I had on but the steering wheel had been a bit squint since it got new boots. Now driving straight as an arrow and the wheels dead centre .

Was going to put on my 225 steering wheel but gave up lol, how do you take the steering wheel off? I was prodding about in the back of it but got that "I'm definitely going to break something" feeling so gave up lol.

Noticed the rear washer jet isn't as powerful, checked the boot aaaaaand...... surprise surprise, trim on the left is wet. Will rip the back apart tonight when I get in, slowly working my way round the car at the moment trying to find and fix the various little water leaks. This'll no doubt be the infamous washer pipe come apart...

Currently driving with only the two front seats in, and no carpets or underlay.

Why?

Because sieve-car.

I bet its loud? Still using mine with no sound deadening on the drivers side awaiting some rain to check it's sealed

Its a good loud though can hear more turbo spool, thankfully the exhaust isn't boomy on the motorway!

I took half the back of mine out to pick up a door, was very boomy on the m5, misses hated it lol

 

[dgjdrummer]

Yesterday I cleaned my EGR valve out, before:

And after:

Had to fix my starter motor cable as my car wouldn't start yesterday, got an original connector to replace my bodged spade connector and now have a good strong start!

Also got a scratch polished out today:

Can;t be seen now except if you get the light just right, but until i can afford a proper detail it's good neough for me

Sunday refitted the fabia rear wiper and motor as it didn't have one. Looks good and all sorted but need a grommit/bung for the rear window before it rains.

Changed inlet manifold, (inc injector seals, tb gasket...) so I could do away worth the self tapper in the mani, and 't' Piece in the fpr (vac) hose.
so much more responsive now, after a few coughs and splutters!
Re scanned and no faults at the moment hopefully fit for the map on Saturday morning now...

What a day! struggled with a mate taking out the gearbox to do the new clutch and dmf, then tried taking the turbo off!! How much of a bitch is the access to the spring clip on the TIP (fr150)?? took me about an hour haha! All out now, new clutch lined up and ready for the turbo to be picked up, reconned and sent back then box back on and bed in the turbo!
