What have you done to your car today?

My old workmate had one of those when they were new, it was the TF version and hisinitials were TF so it was kind of fitting lol. His mum gave him it as a university graduate present can you believe!
 
Not to my car, but close enough I figure. Replaced the Ohme pro charger plug with one from EV Charge Kings that has a disconnect button built in. Much more convenient for unlocking the cable and unplugging than needing to use the tesla app or the touchscreen.
 
Tried to change the front pads & discs.....main dealer did not bother using grease on the calliper pins they are seized tight. Bought a few tools to try to punch them out today...otherwise will have to cut them out.....new callipers are a cool £1K :(

Why do main dealer mechanics have to be such lazy gits I mean it only would have taken them a few moments to apply the grease to stop them seizing....... seems like cannot trust them at all sadly :mad:

Noticed some utter **** end has either half heartedly keyed all down my passenger side or dragged something along it.

The most annoying thing is it only goes to the gym, the office and the local Tesco pretty much and apart from the office it's generally parked well out of the way at the back of the carpark.

Had a quick look and it seems like only part of it catches my nail and even then it's not mega deep so hoping a clean and some meguires compound will make it basically invisible.

Try this YT channel dude is really precise in how to fix some things or conceal & gives some amazing tips! He also has his own shop to sell some products which contain the lot in a small box ( I bought several they are very good not perfect but best you can do without a respray!). Very fast way to get rid of some damage might be able to help you a bit!

Cheers, I'll check it out. Thankfully after a bit of a clean up it's almost unnoticeable now, definitely think someone had managed to drag something down it rather than purposefully key it. Still a pain but not quite as rage inducing.
 
Spotted a screw near the sidewall on one of my rears yesterday. Given it is only four months old and £300 a pop I wasn't best pleased. Kwikfit this morning said "new tyre mate" after two seconds of inspection :rolleyes:

Mottingham Tyre Centre covered the area in soapy water, pulled it out and said "nothing to worry about". Screw was less than 1cm long. No pressure loss before removing it and none after so far.

Now, given this is on a car that does on occasion approach the speed limit, what do you reckon?

Was it in or between the tread blocks? if in a tread block you'd have to be unlucky if a less than 1cm screw caused a problem.
