ok guys slow progress but some progress has been made, 1st up was the charcoal filter being removed as it was pushing the inside edge of the wheel arch liner onto the inside edge of the wheel (when spacer was removed)

charcoal filter disconnected and then unbolted and removed:



pipes bunged up and jubilee clipped to stop anything getting into the fuel tank:

 

[JINGLE]

after removing charcoal filter i can remove the spacers and replace the worn wheel arch liner from rubbing

25mm spacers removed:


before and after stance:


and damage to wheel arch from rubbing: (new and old)

 

[markplant]

Are you leaving the spacers off now

 

[JINGLE]

Are you leaving the spacers off now

for the time being yes, lowered -35mm on H&R springs with 25mm spacers = rubbing, ive been planning on getting some new wheels for ages now and once i get new wheels, depending on offsets ill get new spacers to suit and then sell the 25mm spacers i have removed

due to not having a undertray for a while a lot of road grime has flicked up into the engine bay, quick clean up and spruce up. once new rocker cover is replaced will give engine bay a proper going over:

Left field question, but what are you putting your axel stands under on the front?

open your door and look along the bottom edge, towards the rear of the door, theres 2 plastic covers, use a pry tool and just pop them out. then just undo the bolt and tilt your window in (careful not to do it too much otherwise u will put the glass under too much pressure when shut) and then once your happy with the angle tighten it up and carefully close door and double check you have a nice tight seal and once happy pop covers back on (if you have to adjust it a couple of times to get the correct angle/seal then do it, no point just accepting the 1st adjustment if its not right)

hope that helps

I don't think you're supposed to put jacks where you have, but I'd love for someone to tell me otherwise, as I'm looking for somewhere to put jacks, other than the two plastic jacking points either side behind the front wheels.
