Smart looking car that. What's the replacement?

It’s a great car, the 330d is a great engine, returning me a steady 40 mpg! It’s a total change I’m going for, when I get it, I’ll put a few pics on!

Was too cold to bother washing the car so went for a drive instead. It kinda went from slightly dirty and extremely dirty very quickly tho.

Couldn't wait until the 8th of April to get my new wheel so I got in contact with black hawk and arranged for express postage at my cost. So braved to snow and got round to the car to get it fitted this morning. Very happy with results.

Made a start on the wife's project car. Gsi wheels fitted and bumper started on.

Love that garage

 

[Gareth]

Fitted the front and rear dash cams into the CRV that was taken out of the Civic.

Got a new genuine windscreen fitted in GTi @ auto windshields. Super service. It was them told me years ago to request a genuine windscreen for any car as it’s covered!

Since the passat is in good shape bodywork and engine wise and has an MOT extension to October I decided to get the few suspension parts sorted on it to keep it in good order.

Front shocks and top mounts
Front anti-roll bar link
Discs and pads on on front and a new right hand caliper

Still leaves it considerably cheaper that most of the other cars I looked at even after sorting all those parts, buying the car and a towbar .

Rear wheel bearing changed out today on my 520d. Hopefully that’s the last spending I’ll be doing for a while

Replaced one of big reds rear bulbs.
That car literally eats bulbs like pacman eats pacdots

I usually get away with a couple thumps before I have to go new bulbs

God I love 90s bmws

Stuck one of those android headunits into the Cayenne and fitted a reverse camera. Surprisingly decent.

When you're reversing do you see the world in cartoon form?

Only when I'm drinking.

Must be why I constantly see this in my camera in the lorrys

 

[McFall1984]

Towbar fitted to the vaboight it almost a year ago. Thought the lifts free I’ll stick it on

Had to give my daughter a hand service the forester today. New plugs and filters all round (well cleaned the grimmspeed cone) and a some fresh millers 10w60

 

[slammed dub]

Celica loaded and off for a fresh coat of paint.

Vectra bumper painted. Front lowered, gsi wheels painted and fitted. The wee veccy starting to look the part now.

Woke it from hibernation and gave it a bath. I really need to use this more!

Electric power steering failed on the Z4 last weekend, found a company in England that can remanufacture them with a lifetime warranty. Spent yesterday afternoon queezed under the dash stripping the unit out and most of the evening whining about how much my back hurt

Set of Metros added courtesy of @Neil@rockvale (Not sure how RMS feel on metros this weather)

Any recommendations on bright bulbs? always went with leds&HIDs but always not up to standard.

cheers.

 

[thefool1983]

Stuck a set of reverse/fwd cameras in the big bus.
Was needed really, no parking sensors even as standard!

A lot of faffing, but hopefully a bit easier to navigate tescos car park for herself

I went with Philips Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 halogens. They do a GT200 which are even brighter again, but suffer from the shorter lifespan a lot of the uprated halogen bulbs have at around 250h. The XV Pro150 are rated at 350h or 450h, dependent on fitment. Pleased with them so far and I'd rather just stick to road legal bulbs over HIDs/LEDs. Can't be arsed switching them over for the MOT and I also don't want to be one of those people blinding everyone on the road but claiming the beam cut off looks fine.
