Sold it. Pick up the new one soon.

I'll give you some clues.

Its Japanese but has a German engine.

Diesel hatchback

Some consider it to be butt ugly.

Joke! ehem... Juke!

Did the oil and filter change on the Audi A4 B7. Easiest job ever. Everything was quick and easy and just "worked"

Today still doing the oil and filter change on the 106. Filter struggles to go in and no-one has a different design and the end of the dipstick has broken off into the engine so I can't fill it up. Fun times.

tsinc80697 Do it

I will do something about my front badge soon. It got hit by stone and cracked not to mention its faded out :/

Did an oil change. Noticed the sumps leaking AGAIN wondered where my oil was going, least it's not burning it

I ******* TOLD YOU IT WAS WET UNDER THERE!!

I got into the Project Bentley and drove it. No histrionics. No disappearing brakes. No collapsing rear suspension. No idle speed randomly dropping and tripping the fuel pump cut-off. The only reason I knew I'd gotten into the right Bentley was that the A/C refused to cool the cabin

A job for another day....

I will help you decide, don't do it

Paint looks mint from that shot which is very good to see on a black one

This! Keep the GTR badge away from the boot!

Irish_Tom · 5 Jul 2013 at 18:06

Well the work is done and no nasty surprises with the bill but I can't pick it up until tomorrow morning.

CaptainRAVE · 5 Jul 2013 at 18:08

New boot struts to stop me having to hold it up or it falling on my head. Easy to change too. Currently shopping for some of those low profile aero blades.

Will · 5 Jul 2013 at 18:12

Went to the Peak district for walking today, some fantastic roads, so today I gave the car a good thrashing, lots of VTEC action

On the downside, now have a chipped windscreen

Wiperblades.com branded ones are nice and cheap.

Don't last as long as the Bosch ones so depends whether you want price/convenience.

Going to try the Valeo ones next I think.

Picked her up from BMW after they changed both brake pressure sensors under warranty. They've done a health check which has only flagged up a few little issues I already knew about:

- Handbrake needs adjusting (already did this a few weeks ago so might need to strip it all down and give it a good clean.)
- Front number plate de-laminating (from a stone chip, passed the last MOT with it).
- Small chip in windscreen (passed the last MOT with it so nothing to worry about).
- Rubber petrol cap strap broken.

If that's the best they can come up with to try and get some money from me then I'm happy

Noticed my front wheels are filthy and decided I need to invest in a set of Torx screwdrivers or similar. The interior rattles and creaks are becoming quite intolerable.

I have no idea what that thing is in the picture. Need to take my PCV valve out and give it a cheeky clean.

Don't worry, once you have your first blemish, other ones come easier. I got about another 5 tiny chips on my windscreen when going on a nice 400mile drive earlier in May around the highlands. I'm also still on the original DC2 windscreen and really don't want to change it in case the fitting is bodged!

Anyone got £92920 lying about that you don't need?

I really, REALLY need to buy a F-Type. LINK

Thanks.

Save yourself £1250 and stick with Salsa red rather than Grandad Orange.

I love it! Infact, i would consider it as one of the best looking cars ever made. Noticing they have been a massive hit too, seen about 15 of them up to yet around here.

Jaguar have it spot on with the cars they are releasing lately. Do they stick to the 1 designer with there latest cars? If so he deserves a medal.
