Yeah considering getting a Dynavin but not sure I can justify the cost at the moment..I'm 7 days off being made redundant so it'll probably have to wait until I get another job first.
Looks alright
Hmm yes
About to go out and play with vagcom to try and get my dagadaga starting better. Worn cam = awful starting apparently so perhaps a little more heat will help

Cleared it out ready for the trade-in (hopefully) Tuesday

That's to easy, I meant a normal double din unit, Google it
Before you go buying Dynavin read this ad, might make you reconsider.

Put the MX-5 through it's MOT today, it passed but with advisories for rust on the sills. Anyone know a decent body shop in Coventry, north Warwickshire or south Leicestershire?

I'd want something OEM-looking so wouldn't go for a "normal" double din unit.
To be honest the more I think about it the more it's a nice-to-have; I've got a phone mount and aux in cable for my iPhone so can listen to music and use sat nav on the phone, and the car has bluetooth for calls so I've got everything I need covered at the moment.
Took my car off to Pacific Works today for the following:
Valve clearance check.
New cambelt & aux belt.
New aircon condenser radiator, receiver drier & regas.
Mesh fitted behind bumper to protect my nice new radiator.
New distributor oil seal.
Undersealing.
Fix power steering activation at steering angle change.
Fix rattle from engine bay.
Diagnose & fix steering wheel vibration.
I'm not looking forward to the bill, but am looking forward to having a lovely healthy car back.

Fitted a £5 shock and spring from the scrap yard.
Rear handling issue sorted, plus I picked up 2x VP30 fuel pumps worth £100 each for £30. So really I made a profit

Found and fixed the cause of my rear washer jet not working. bloody freezing weather causing it to freeze made two pipes disconnect. Nice and easy. Took all of 2 mins.

I washed it. Again.
I park on the second level of the car park below my apartment, in a part of town that they’re redeveloping. Because it’s often damp when I park up at the weekend, and there is so much dust blowing in from the street, and I don’t tend to use it during the week, I find myself having to take it to the jet wash every week (honestly, the windows are caked in dirt).
How frequently do you guys have to wash your cars? I mean, how long until your number plates are unreadable and side windows are opaque?

Discovered why my windows were steaming up heavily today..the pollen filter. Removed it from its home and it was soaking wet, which upon investigation had been caused by somebody not fitting it correctly..now need to purchase a new one.
NEW CLUTCH
I am a day late posting this as i had it done yesterday.
Hyundai Coupé 2.7l V6 with 58,000 miles. This is the first clutch in 20 years that i have had to get replaced and i have only had the car for about 8 months so i think the damage was done before i owned it. The clutch now feels silky smooth and a lot lighter than it was.
Here is a pic of the old clutch

Swapped some CDs out, gave it a little vacuum, and changed the air freshener.
