As per the title really! I'm stuck working from home at the moment, but when free the cars going to get some long overdue pampering.

- Starting with a clean
- Fix the broken headlight washer
- Then I'll strip down the brakes and re-grease

After that? Maybe some dash wrapping? Who knows! Any good ideas?

Leave it in the garage for another month or two until I can get the MOT that'll be due in June.

If money and time allows I’d like to replace rear bearings, plus any rusty items , bushes etc whilst I’m there. Unlikely though as I’m a community nurse!

Going to try a bit of polishing if I can buy a DA polisher with a starter kit from ‘Clean Your Car’ if they are still trading. Sent them an e-mail this morning. As yet have had no reply. So will just have to wait and see.

Hi,

Spent 3 1/2 days doing a very deep clean and detailing session (wash, decontamination, wash, clay bar, wash, sealant)...

Perhaps luckily I didn't manage to get my hands on a DA polisher

I'm very pleased with the results.

Now waiting to get her back on the road and hopefully enjoy the nearly empty roads.

Hoping to get mine MoT'd on Thursday. They have booked it in, so fingers crossed.

I was going to get it MOTed next week, but the car is up in the air with no wheels,as I'd taken them to my tyre guy to get new tyres fitted and he's had to close

Thanks for the information. I rang them to confirm that they were still trading. The guy was really helpful. The upshot is my polisher and kit will be in my hands tomorrow. I just need to get hold of a panel to practise on now without stepping outside the Government guidelines.

I was wondering about small tyre fitting stations, the local ones to us are open as usual and I didn't know if they should be?

The effort was worthwhile. The car looks stunning.

All this talk of MOTs and fitting tyres - aren’t we meant to be staying at home??

Mine passed MOT last week

But I have a fault code indicating my thermostat has failed - wish I had the access equipment to fit that and a new water pump at home - perfect opportunity to do it with being off work
