Well, what a busy first weekend with the car.
Saturday morning a quick trip to Soper BMW at Lincoln to collect my parts, a spot of top-off action in the sun then home.
Straight onto the jobs to be completed
First, cup holders. Took 15 mins in total for both sides, extreamly easy.
Second, new ZHP gear knob - 2 minutes
Third, fitted new hi level brake light (old one cracked with LEDs out) - 15 mins
Fourth - new wipers fitted - 5 mins, didn't take a pic as so boring.
Fifth - fitted cruise control stalk and cut surround - 25 mins
Then went out for dinner in it, loving the new feel of the gear knob.
Sunday morning;
First - check both hood drain holes by removing both rear wheels, removing wheel arch trip and removing drain plugs, compressed air down the accessible right hand side and vacuum out the inaccessible left hand side.
To my amazement both were clear and in very good shape - both drains running free and looking like someone has done this before too. 1.5 hrs in total (still only half awake!)
Second - CDV delete. Got under the car, undid it, screwed the pipe back to the other pipe and bled it. Biggest pain in the neck was getting my hand near enough to the bleed nipple to get a bleed pipe on! 30 mins.
So, after what is really a very small amount if time in the garage I've done loads of mini jobs that will hopefully make the car much better.
Let my wife drive for most of today and she commented on the better gear change between 1st and 2nd so hopefully the CDV delete will be helping that.
What did you do on yours this weekend?!
