Fixed faulty/temperamental 12v socket
Changed grilles for black ones
Replaced screenwash reservoir grommet but still got a small leak
the yellow calipers appear to have been an excellent choice
Can't take any credit for that...it was an owner before me.

haha still looks great!!

I like to think my photography played a large part even the rest of it wasn't me!

I did the oil pan gasket yesterday. Hoo'boy! What a job. Took about 6 hours all said and done including cleaning and setting things up the day beforehand.

My oil pan had been leaking for years but I put it off because it wasn't that bad of a leak... just after a while I hated knowing I had a leaky car.

880mile round trip to pick up our new puppy in the car today. Started at 3am and home at 19:30, several coffee and toilet trading stops required.... Car performed brilliantly. The Lancaster bomber drone has gone, thanks to the new front wheel bearings and she returned 40mpg at a very good average speed

BUT, I now have a judder through the steering wheel when braking!!!! Surely not a warped disc!!! Investigation begins tomorrow.. I need to sleep.

Well I've removed my airbag fault, added a nextbase front and rear camera. Fitted an Echo Auto with cut off switch. Now Alexa can play my tunes and ring all my contacts. Added a black gloss side skirt decal then given it a good old wash and polish. All done and ready for my drive to the Chinese for a buffet takeaway.

Beautiful! I’m planning to black out my roof next week as well.

I just received my refurbished steering wheel. Went with perforated leather on sides, really love how it turned out. Now I just have to find time to refurb the soft plastic trim.

Looking good and a great way to collect a takeaway as it should still be hot when you get back
