What have you done to your car today?

Fitted Osram Cool Blue Intense Bulbs H7 & 501 as well as Philips Silver Vision PY21W Indicator Bulbs.

Looks like the inside of the Head lights are hoarding a fair bit of dust. Any tips for cleaning them?
 
Be very careful cleaning the insides as they have a coating which is extremely easy to damage and leave scratches you'll never get rid of. The only thing I could suggest is to try to blast the dust off with a can of compressed air. Don't wipe them with anything.
 
Removed the 10 year and 130k old blown front shocks and replaced with new on my Type-S.

Considering it clearly hadn't been done ever, everything came apart well enough, except for the droplinks, which have those daft allen key and bolt method of extraction. I preferred my method of hacking them off with a saw method and replacing them instead. Also replaced the bump stops.

Had a small moment when the hub fell too far forward and the drive shaft popped out a little, but pretty chuffed I sorted it on my own.
 
Received my OBDEleven. Had quite a few codes on my car so cleared them all.

I then recoded my stereo for AUX input I installed - but the quality of the AUX is terrible. Need to take it out and have another look because I also get an antenna fault code, so may have done something wrong due to rushing the install.

Quite liking the OBDEleven.

Good bit of kit, wouldn't be without mine now. As in your other thread you now have many spare pennies compared to the Cables price.
 
Dropped it into a local detailer who does great work for a full wheels off, 3 x day detail. Costing me £900 all in but I hope to have a car with no swirl marks at the end of it and paint and underside like glass :)
 
Fitted the wiring and switch for my heated rear window.

Fitted delrin door bushes.



'Fixed' my battery drain issue by pulling out the room fuse. Pretty sure the cause of the drain is the alarm (as disconnecting the radio made no difference) which I have no idea how to sort out so for now I'll live with having no radio or interior light.



Annoyingly it also showed me that my knackered battery wasn't actually knackered at all. At least I hadn't disposed of it but I can't really see me needing two!
