What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[NickR]

Not a chance! Found a mouldy sweet I dropped months ago. Picked it up but it crumbled and turned to dust. Just wiped it in to the carpet

I'd little enough time at home there, last thing I wanted to do was get a hoover out!

@Boydie has now disowned you after that reply

 

[Ben P]

Hope you hoovered under there...

Was gonna say, the only thing he would hoover up from under there would be kebab meat or spilt alcohol

Replaced the starter motor on the Caddy. Handy done, airbox out, undertray off and it’s easily accessible. 25 minute job thankfully

There’s no chance he would let either of those slip through his hands tbh.

To be fair I’d be delighted if my car was as that clean.

Mine usually looks like that AFTER a hoover.

Started back building the 8v for the mk2 and swapping dizzys to run twin 40 webers
Ignore the extended studs joining the carbs to the manifold, just to make sure all lines up correct

I wish the Civic was as straightforward. Took me four times as long just to get the busted one out and I managed to destroy the knock sensor in the process, connector completely torn off it. I think if I had to do it again I'd remove the intake manifold and get it from the top!

Sounds like a nightmare. I think my only initial concern was since I stuck i 6 speed box in was the starter going to fit out past the chassis leg but literally no issue thankfully!

Would a toffee wheel not get it off without messing the paint?

i'll give one a try, good suggestion

Changed the oil and filter on the Clio today and ordered a set of MTC silicone coolant hoses and a new fan belt for it. Should be ready for trackskills next month.

 

[Charlieboyoo]

Got the m3 washed and polished plus fitted the fire extinguisher

Wife moved the Cayenne last week when I was at work and parked it again, everything was grand. I came home and went to jump in it and key wouldn't even unlock it, totally dead. Even when unlocked manually, not even a flicker.

Had a good spare battery left over from the Range Rover which wasn't that old before the crash(and around £250 iirc) Luckily same size and spec for the Cayenne.

Just a bit of a pain in the ass to get to in these, but seems to have fixed it anyways. Hopefully it's not some kind of drain, I'm not at home long enough to check again so it'll be wifes problem during the week if it is

Wife called me today, seems its not fixed

Must be something draining it, think it may be the Bose sub in the spare wheel well from what I've read online. However that's no use to her when I'm in Nigeria.

Thing can sit there til I get home ffs

Just a quick wash of the cars earlier this morning, and dressed the tyres with a 1:1 mix of CarPro PERL. I had actually forgotten how good this stuff is.

Cheers.

Finally got round to fitting front speakers to the Skoda - after 15 months of ownership.......

All done yesterday: New pollen/cabin filter & Bilt Hamber air con bomb (will probably need another one as there’s still a slight smell from AC but no where near as bad as before). Washed and a touch up with Hybrid as well.

Photo from this morning with surprising no / little dead flies from the M1

 

[Boydie]

Have you not heard that 5G is killing all the flies??

 

[Lyons]

Painted the tow bar. That’s about as extreme as it gets round here.

The ball and all

 

[McFall1984]

Broke an exhaust stud in the block

 

[Cookies]

Gave the interior of the focus a good going over. Shampood the seats, and gave the carpets a good clean too.

Much nicer place to sit now. The seats are in remarkably good order for an 18 year old car with 126k.

Sorted

Drove it to Portstewart for the day then parked it up and took the father in law’s new m5 out for a spin tonight. It’s impressively quick for sure!

 

[Jonny_W]

left it on for a new infotainment system

Want to throw a set in my cupra sound is woeful

How'd you get it out?!

Welded a nut on. I couldn do it, father in law has lighter welding wire that worked a treat
