New person here with an E85 3.0i

Post by london001 » Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:58 pm

Hey guys,

Hope all is well, used this forum for a while to sort out some issues I had (i.e. the wiper blade issue...) and wanted to join in...

Had the car about a year now, love the thing. Started loosing my hair so figured it was time to get a convertable...

Got a list of things I want to do, basically the below:

1) Fix the room (looking at the guides the micro switch has become dislodged and needs re-seating)
2) Replace the plates/wipers (easy)
3) The indicator internal "clicker" has become intermittent
4) Rear disks/pads replacement
5) Appears to be a slight engine coolant leak
6) Touch up the front paintwood
7) Engine flush and oil change
8 ) Some minor internal trim needs tidying/replacing
9) Refurb/replace the alloy's

Few other bits but yeah thats the root of it...

Anyway, cheers!
