Swapped out the old Bosch S5 027 battery with a Varta E44 Silver 096 battery. Was an easy 5 minute job but managed to break my ctek comfort charger/indicator in the process. :roll: A replacement's only £6 so not the end of the world. I also needed to reinitialise the windows and reset the clock but everything else seems fine. I didn't need to do any coding as some others have claimed.
Obviously not expecting any noticeable difference but it's good to know that I've now got an OEM spec battery that should outlast the car, especially since I'll be keeping it on charge in the garage.

Took her for the following at www.pmtautomotive.co.uk :

soft top protection
3 stage paint correction / polish
stone chip removal
5 year ceramic coating on wheels and paint
I will be blogging the progress and updating on a new thread. Keep eyes peeled at the weekend.

Do you use a lot of filters on your photos? Every time I see it it looks a different colour :lol:
Looks 8) though!

Been driving around with no central locking for the past few weeks after my last good key died. Couldn't lock the car because my drivers door lock barrel spins around.
Paid a visit to bmkeys today and within half an hour I had 2 working keys again. All they needed were new batteries, but the connectors needed soldering on to the circuit board.
I had replaced one of the batteries previously, but didn't solder it on and it stopped working after a few months.
So yeah, well happy now and it was only £40 for both keys aswell. Bargain

Fitted upgrade bulbs today osram silverstar H7 less than £6 from amazon and £5 for the side lights -fitting them quite fiddly but got there in the end - new side light bulbs look much better - will have to see if the headlights are any brighter in the dark -
Side light before
New side light
Got new wheels arriving tomorrow so will get some pics posted once fitted and car washed

Yep no problem in taking a night shot - to be honest I was not expecting much of a difference for the price but it was worth a go as the original side light bulbs were giving out as much light as a candle - they actually look better in the flesh than on the pictures even in the day time- will get some shots tonight cheers

Well... done some winter prep before the SORN
- XCP Rust Blocker on all underside nuts, bolts, bushes, exposed metal, joints & brake lines
- swapped into some winter shoes while she stands idle for a few months
The black wheels were only bought as a temporary solution... though now really like the Amplified black look

Removed one of my recently fitted facelift headlights to deal with a mega-condensation problem. :x
No sign of any moisture in there for the first couple of weeks, but with the car parked in the sunshine yesterday after washing it water had found its way in somehow.
Looks like I trapped a wire when fitting the back cover last time. Removed and reversed the seal on the back cover. Dried it with a hairdryer. Fingers crossed that’s done it.
