what have you done to your car today ?

[Andrewwright]

Sold the TDI ve block leon and brought a Bora highline pd130. Quite high spec so I'm going to do the bits needed and deal with a cupra in the new year.

Attended a track day

 

[bigT's lcr]

Refurbished the arms i bought and fit new front bush's

painted the showing edge on the spacers but couldnt fit them as id bought the wrong bolts

changed the serpentine belt

fixed my leaky tire and swapped the fronts for the rears then did the tracking.

 

[bigT's lcr]

Refit my scuttle tray as i think thats where the leak is coming from. Will find out tommorow. If i haven't fixed it, its onto rear light clusters, doors seals...
Replaced the boost gauge pipe (still purple ) rather than rag it out and feed the pipe through blind again i cut the head of a screw and joined the two pipes together and caked em in fairy liquid and just pulled the new one through.
Tried to fix the nsf window regulator and made it worse so had to disconnect the switch from the door so our lass doesn't drop the glass into the door lol. Need to find a replacement.
Also adjusted the tracking again.
Full interior exterior clean. As im half way through my 2weeks off the rear seats had become a wasteland of half eaten nuggets and chips so had to be done plus gave the boot a thorough gutting out and clean.

Received my new cut key blades so changed them out on both my flip keys, however, when I tested them they wouldn’t turn in the ignition. On closer look the new blades have been cut a wee bit narrower than the original:

Contacted the company and explained this, they apologised and will cut & send another couple of blades

The electric lock you mean? its pretty simple. Use a spare key to put ignition on and off. Then put the spare key in doorlock and lock it and press the close button on the remote. But have to do within 15 sec or so.

fitted front mount intercooler and cupra r front bumper just need to work out how the front fogs are held in as I cannot see how they attach also need to get the top centre grill as there was not one with the bumper I got

New thermostat to try and solve overheating and lack of flow. Still exactly the same, suspecting that whoever did the timing belt last either didn't replace the waterpump or replaced it with another plastic impellor one.

Put the smoke tester on her. No boost leaks!!

Pcv to catch can pipe was split tho. Replaced and still a minor leak.

Need to order a different T piece as the one i have has a stepped end and i need it to be flat to get it air tight. Would be something IVE fit lol

 

[Gokiwi64]

Put fuel in it, started it , warmed it up good and proper, turned the traction control off - thrashed the bejeesus out of it, sat here with a silly grin on my face.

Put winter wheels back on the car. No alloy cleaning for a few months!
Oh yeah... I bought a red car too...

It’s got the wrong badge! Ha ha!!
Does the Leon stay or go?? A decision harder than Brexit.

 

[bigT's lcr]

Stay!!

Let’s just hope it takes you as long to decide if to keep it or not takes as long as Brexit. That way you’ll have it for many years to come!!
Hope you can keep it mate. I have mine as a hobby car and use my Volvo daily.
If you can afford to keep it as a hobby car I would, you’ve had it for so long.
Sleepless nights to come! Lol

I’m under no pressure to sell it quick so will not be making silly decisions.

Cleaned and vacuumed,

will do rest of interior tommorow and maybe a wax if the weather holds up. Used some tango "water repellent" and got it on the frigging glass. Nightmare to clean off, need some isopropanol
