What have you done to your car today?

Uncle_Gravy · 22 Dec 2017 at 14:23

That's lovely, like how mean it looks.

Good beads there.

I washed mine. No pics, CBA.

Vita · 22 Dec 2017 at 19:24

Got my oil leak sorted. Sump was weeping at the seal so got that sorted. Give it a 6k oil change with Millers nanodrive. Also got an ecs tuning dogbone mount to stiffen it up a bit. Gear changes are now more smooth and crisp. Only issue is it does make the car viberate a lot more. It is worse on a diesel but I can live with it.

Found out rad needs replacing

Raymond Lin · 23 Dec 2017 at 11:35

Filled it with screen wash.

Mobius 1 · 23 Dec 2017 at 12:26

Can you put sonax over wax ? Or is there much point ?

Thanks for the comments chaps !

Shame! They're pretty rare and you had yours for a while?

Replaced this today with the red one I got.

You can see the broken bit at the bottom right (this is crack all the way to the center) and the crack up the center thats been there since I got the car three years ago.

Hand tighten the screws I hope ? :d they've got the spring to keep the light in place so there's no need to tighten them up. I don't think that coupes suffer the same cracking issue.. other than my LEDs actually dying. I did take it apart after you mentioned it at the last meet and once it's off the car they all work.. assembled it again and the last 3 are dead until you tap it

going to get a new unit soon. £85 from Germany.

badgeruk · 23 Dec 2017 at 15:15

Yeh hand tighten them but I think they may be too tight. Didnt seem to fit as well as the old unit but that might just be due to the age of the seal. I plan to leave it a few days then losen them a tad. If it cracks in the furture ill throw a hissy fit at BMW and get it replaced under warrenty.

Fixed the rollas exhaust again, this time hopefully permanently! The old clamps were a type which only compress a small amount and they werent tight enough. Hence the joiner coming undone even though it felt like i had done it up really tight. Now have more typical crush type clamps on it.

Big day today.

Fitted new wiper blades to the Volvo and put the MR2 roadster on the battery charger.

Hyburnate · 23 Dec 2017 at 16:22

I have it a quick bit of TLC as the last time it had been cleaned was 2 months ago :eek:

Also ordered 4L of Oil ready for it's service the first week in Jan.

Really need to get the wheels re-cut

Akagi · 23 Dec 2017 at 16:41

Just get some TD 1.2's

mrk · 23 Dec 2017 at 17:45

Discovered a shopping bag holder in the back

Frozennova · 23 Dec 2017 at 17:52

Cannot unsee the face in the middle

mrk · 23 Dec 2017 at 17:59

LOL I've never noticed that before and now it cannot be unseen

Gaygle · 23 Dec 2017 at 18:11

New front discs and pads. Got ATE front discs for £295 and Textar pads for £40. BMW discs were only slightly more expensive, but I really wanted the ATE ones with the zinc coating so the bell doesn't go rusty.

Well that's a bit **** considering the faff you had with the engine, etc?
You get a decent price at least?

Considering it

They come 'standard' on some, so would probably get away with it
