what have you done to your car today ?

[Dlp1984]

I tend to find (a personal opinion) any place that offers a free re test tend to be more picky. Example, I had a mk1 mr2 and it had in the past a bit of welding done, it wasn't the best but was strong. The mot garage I took it to with 2 free retests twice failed it on the weld even though my dad and I welded it up so much it will probably outlast the car, so took it to another garage that offered no free retest and they said it was fine, but was more worried about the hole in the sill the other side by the drivers seat belt but like I say just my personal opinion of course.

Anyway I fitted some stickers to my car cos I'm a sticker wh0re

They're polybushed about 10000 ago so I doubt it's these....



I'll have a look later, or see what the MOT flags up.... it's going into a place with a policy thats £50 for the MOT with a free re-test within 14 days so anything wrong I can get one, just all money thats the thing....

The wheel bearings on the Leon are designed in a way that even when they're worn and whining like a biatch you don't get wheel movement, just noise.

I'd check your balljoint and track rod ends mate

Im delighted to say that today. ..well yesterday but thats not the point... i finally found bought and fitted recaro front and rear seats to my Leon Cupra R.

My old ones were cleaner but they wernt recaros. Sit a bit higher in the recaros than the normal LCR seats but worth it .

Did you take any pics whilst doing the plastidip?

Nope, its the same as with normal paint. Needs to dry like 30mins between layers. Recommended 3-5 layers.

Well, she passed with no advisories!! I couldn't believe it as the knock on the front is really bad, and it's the tie rod at the rack end. Get one on Monday! Also stripped a mini moto I bought am going to rebuild it!

Fitted a fully polybushed dogbone mount in the rain, not really made a difference as its not stopped pissing it down, I'm sure it will once it's dry.
