A few weeks of storms and coastal living meant a lot of salt got washed off it today, so got a wee snap of the tints.
And she's needed jumped a fair few times the last two weeks, so fitted a new battery tonight.
And the girls just loved watching a DVD the other night when we arrived early to an event.

Slowly getting used to how **** front-wheel-drive is, and adapting to the DSG 'box which is nowhere near as nice as the ZF slush.
But noticed that it wasn't getting up to temp, and the economy was a few mpg less than expected.
As the 'box is water-cooled, there is a DSG thermostat which was knackered. Simple and cheap to replace, the car heats up perfectly now, in good time and town driving will see late 40's mpg.
Hopeful of over 50mpg on a run.

We have one as a pool car in work. Manual diesel. Took it to from Banbridge to Mallow in Cork and back on Friday and it only used half a tank. They are a fantastic car

Recovered to a ramp today and a new rear spring fitted.
It's also had a knackered droplink rattle for a few months now, so it got two of them replaced while it was in the air.
It's also struggled with air loss from one of the wheels since I bought it, so the tyre got removed and a decent bead sealer applied before refitting.
We are off on a road trip soon, so hopefully that's her ready for it. I just need to collect and fit a spare wheel kit to the boot, before we go.
I can see a wheel refurb coming before winter, as they are very tired with plenty of rash.
