What have you done to your car today?

[Atari]

Bought it some black grills, Dodo Juice Purple Haze, and some new Hexlogic pads. Going to be a fun few days

Dropped the gf off in Leicester and as I came off the motorway, heard a horrible scraping sound which turned out to be the plastic undertray. As the car was lowered I couldn't quite get to it to pull it off or tighten the screws. Had to crawl all the way to a garage a few miles away to get them to do it for me. Definitely lost some man points

Made use of the Easter weekend ECP sale and picked up some bits to service the work car.

Turns out the oil filter housing cup wrench I borrowed wasn't needed, just a 36mm socket.

Ouch, that's going to be properly rotten underneath

It is indeed! Doesn't help that someone has been there before & done a rubbish job on it but I bought it knowing that it would need doing properly. Both rear quarters being completely re-done.

Replaced front tyres with another pair of CSC2s.

Changed the pollen filters on our Honda Civic. The old ones were seriously, seriously dirty, and barely let any air through. Now they're all clean and the blowers work properly.

I am man.

I haven't done anything to my car today, as I don't own one at the moment

DC5 was sold at the weekend..

Where did it go? Weren't you waiting for a 98 spec bumper or something? Are you coming to the RR?

It's sat in a bodyshop for three months waiting for it and it will be for at least three more so the insurance company said get it road worthy. The hirecar bill was 4k so I'm sure that woke them up, if Direct Line weren't so useless I'd have happily taken money and sorted it myself (It's a £280 part)

Just makes all our car insurance go up

Why has it taken so long?? I experienced same LolHonda delivery times today. Ordered the pulley, guy on the phone said it'd be with me Tuesday/Wed as they don't stock them in the UK and have to order them from Belgium.

I said, why can't you get overnight parts from Japan. 6 month wait sucks. I was thinking you may come to the RR as I was looking forward to seeing it.

Took it to our local area Phoenix 5 monthly meet.

just how long it takes sometimes to get parts over; ordering form Belgium is usually very quick, 1-2 days at most

I'd hope it's quick. Been without my car since Saturday and getting fed up.

if Direct Line weren't so useless

They really are possibly the worst run company on Earth, easy.

I hate the company.

I rather suspect my diverter valve might be knackered. I don't think my TT really should be sounding like something out the Fast and the Furious.

This and an emission light coming on (again) make me think the people who did all the work on my car last week were a bunch of ****** clowns. I'll have to visit a recommended garage tomorrow.
