What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[mpowered]

Van bought last week, transported home at the weekend, coilovers fitted and new wheels on today.
Waiting on the V5 so I can stick one of my 666 plates on.
That's me done with modding this year, between the RB320 and now this it's fairly drained the bank account.

Changed the pollen filter in the new daily to try and get rid of the bad smell in the car.

It was a genuine filter so I wonder when the last time it was changed. I also set off a AC disinfectant aerosols just to be sure.

Early run out this morning to drop wheels in with Micheal to get painted- was up in Dundonald just before 7! Back home for 7.45 and Mrs Lyons didn't even know I'd left the house.

Tremendously excited to get them back next week and finally get the winters off .

Need to get him to do mine, just can't decide on which wheels.

Mine went in to KLC in Enniskillen today, looking forward to seeing the result on Saturday. They'd been looking tatty and the centre caps were in bad knick.

On the new 320? Would you not keep the Si wheels?

Do this. SI wheels are cracker plus rare enough

Yeah I think ill likely keep them, it's between them and the 18s I had on the last car going to do them ferric grey I think.

Went to parcelforce to pick up my new wheels for the Mondeo so bloody excited to get them fitted but want/need to wait till car is done

They are beautiful.

@Terry ‘s sapphire with them was awesome.

 

[weeloaney]

Replaced the front top mounts after work, been knocking for a wee while. Bit ****ed after 35k+ harsh miles. Could properly move the metal insert around in the rubber.

Old

new

They worked so well with that car, still miss it a lot.

I’m pretty sure I’ve a spare (new) centre cap for one, if you pm me your address I’all post it to you @Turbokid89 . Or wait until I find it first.

Not sure why you can’t message but I deleted some pms to clear space if you want to try again. Managed to find it, still sealed

 

[Turbokid89]

Msg sent

 

[KevM]

Part-exchanged it

 

[Michael M]

Took it for its first proper spin down to Portaferry. Can’t wait to get stuck into cleaning it with Anachem goodies at the weekend.

 

[Coog]

Part-exchanged it

Which one??

 

[KevM]

Which one??

The E220 is now an A4 Avant S Line.

We’ll be sorry to see the Merc go, it’s a decent oul bus

 

[kharma45]

Wheels all done. Very happy with them.

 

[Zach57]

Changed the oil and filter, but when taking the filter out of the cap, the cap came apart. Fortunately nothing was broke and able to get it back together. Then I gave wash.

Power tailgate on our xc60 was failing to open randomly, sometimes opened fine, other times lock would release and not even attempt to open

Hooked up to VIDA and seen it had logged a fault about low voltage to the right hand power strut, took a chance on a aftermarket replacement at £125 delivered (volvo were asking more than double for an oem part)

Installed this morning in a half hour, power tailgate opening every time now, happy with that

 

[BobSpounge]

Gearbag out for new clutch and flywheel. Pig of a job wrestling that gearbox out on my own. Bit warm today for that sort of malarchy.

 

[DaddyCC]

Swapped out my 20 year old faded and partially cracked scuttle panel for a brand new OEM unfaded black panel... Cause I'm sad like that and picked up a bargain so...

Side by side you can see the difference!

And fitted (even less exciting).

 

[Simon83]

Changed the front disks and pads on the new daily. The car had been sitting a few months over lock down so I thought the disks and pads would “clean up” with use but obviously not.

My Sealey jack sh1t itself at the same time, one of the pistons has sheared. Which is disappointing as it has only been used 20-30 times.
