What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Packed the alloys and tyres in to bring to be refurbished tomorrow. Wee trolley jacks only there cause mate bothered the scissor jack and I haven’t got it back yet

Fitted a 2nd bike carrier to the roof rack so can grab a mates bike to join me mountain biking now.

Each to their own. What annoys me about them is the terrible offset, would need 10mm spacers right make them sit nice.

I love the speedlines and have grown to love the white.

Fixed the central locking - needed a replacement diversity antenna module.

 

[weeloaney]

between yesterday and todayOil change and a new cheaper air filter on till I get this one cleaned.

New front discs and strip, cleaned and painted the discs and calipers in prep to look good behind the refurbed wheels.

Oil change and tried this ceratec everyone on the owners group goes on about. Was actually sitting from the last oil change and I was going to use for top ups but it hasn't used a drop in a year!

Big v70 got full service and 2 Dunlop winters put on the front, only tyres that keep traction

thought it needed a ABS ring but it was down to a loose driveshaft bolt

all tightened and fault free once again

That ceratec seems to be good stuff. I've treated all our cars with it. The wee 1.4 golf I bought the kids was very 'ticky' and is definitely quieter now after a few miles since the ceratec went in.

I was going to use it on the 525d but read that it’s not good for sludgy engines. Car is 130k

Apparently takes a few hundred miles to work. The Cayenne is like a sewing machine but there's reports of bore scoring on some of them, so I figured this might help prevent it.

Not sure what I'm going to get in the meantime yet. Have thought about Panda 100hp and a wee Renaultsport Twingo Gti could be on the list also, but will give it a week or so before I start looking

Haha I'm only raking ya anyway. I've had nothing but time wasters and no-shows. Tempted to just tuck the Golf away into mum and dads garage and say nothing, they'll probably not realise. Now I've got the new wings for it it's pretty much perfect.
