@Gemma @Samy888 Mon lad a bit of persuasion for that glorious noise

 

[Coog]

Dug it out for the last dregs of sun shine. Then found it managed to seize a brake caliper in between MOT two weeks ago and today. So another job to do.

Found out that @Ghisallo was right and it does have isofix in the back. Just took a bit of poking. No more wrestling with belt locking seats...

Nice! Looks well. I’ve failed the odd MoT or two with sticky rear callipers.

I might get mine out tomorrow before it’s Sorned for the foreseeable future (drivers window dropped, electronic boot release not opening, suspicious rattling from the engine, a disappeared aircon belt, and abs and traction earring lights illuminated...).

Not that you need it now, but here’s the page from the manual about the rear isofix

Has to be @Gemma

I did notice one rear wheel was slightly dustier than the rest, so it's probably been like that a while and sitting for a bit has made it worse.

Re the boot release - mine did the same. Well similar - would only open on the remote key button. Stripped the carpet off the boot lid and noticed that there's a microswitch on the lock itself which wasn't functioning. Unplugged it and the handle and button working fine. Presumably it's an override for the physical key lock. Anyway, worth a check - think it took 10 mins. The rest of the problems might be more serious especially engine lol.

@ChrisL nope never a fan of a s15

 

[Father Stack]

An E92 M3 to an S15 would feel like a step down, surely?

 

[Gareth]

4 new tyres on the CRV

 

[moparopkop]

Cleaned and polished it after changing the wheel colour

 

[gav525]

Finally got a decent drive out!

 

[McFall1984]

Put some cheap tyres on cheap wheels

Then took the manifold of the 530d to get at the crank sensor

 

[Lyons]

@Gemma is that your M3 on R Kings?

 

[Gemma]

@Lyons yes

 

[Weelenny]

Took it for a good drive on Sunday with a few others, made the most of the good weather

 

[gav525]

Wee touch up before Mondello track day

 

[Toeman]

Yearly service for the GTI. Oil, oil filter, air filter and pollen filter. Just over 4k miles over the past year.

Then a tank of SUL.

Too nice a car not to get driving her more

 

[McFall1984]

Finished removing inlet manifold and started to change a crank sensor

 

[Lyons]

Booked the Tiguan in to get a scuff painted.

Also made an appointment to view another tomorrow. Too hastily no doubt, but I’ve no patience.

Spent today giving the Focus a good clean. I am sure the skills of properly cleaning a car have long since changed, but it was a long day, and thankfully should see it do for a while.
Washed (Usual - articulate, laser and gleam), purge and tarminator, clayed, compound, polished and waxed. Even had the tail lights out to clean under them. The result

 

[PaulYDP]

Took it out a bit of a run to take advantage of the unexpected good weather!

Pls ignore the dirt in both photos. Side strip that was damaged when I bought the car finally replaced with new ones from VW and painted by John McGowan in Enniskillen. Did a good job.
