what have you done to your car today ?

[Sparkie]

Yesterday while sunny I peeled most of my Plastidip Grill and Honeycomb. Learnt a valuable lesson. Plastidip only as good as the cleaning prep.
Here's what it looks like when tiny amount of dirt still in the creases etc.

All lifting and splitting.
Lucky it peels strait off.
Good clean with thinners and microfibre cloth and a screw driver.

Reapply.
Job done.

Gave it a wash and caught a rare moment when front and rear wheels are synced.

Thanks I bought the pipework seperate to cooler instead of buying tx kit. Worked out £150 cheaper, and was easy to keep fogs

Fixed the car not starting/zero power issue and looked down to find my dust caps missing. Some little "person" has gone out of his way to upset me as the other half brought these for the grand sum of £2!! Yeah for all four! Just don't believe some people are that hard up they do this but at least it starts now.

Was a stupid mistake by myself. Connection was tight on the nut but as I found out today wasn't tight on the battery so I pulled it off, cleaned it put it back on and connection is nice and tight. Starting first time now. Tbh I'm no sure if it has fixed the issue completely or not so I'll carry some tools just incase

Excuse my ignorance but what does your mod do exactly?

There is a common problem with the cooling fans. There is slow speed and high speed. The problem is that the slow speed resistors burn out which means there is only high speed left. I noticed when I turned my aircon on the high speed would click on for about 30 seconds then click off then back on etc, when aircon is on the fans should be on slow speed and on constant, also slow speed should kick in when temps at about 90, high speed is to catch any possible overheating. So there's two options buy new fans at about
£400 or do this mod for £25
