    Excuse the airbag, it needed a firm push to sit properly and now it's fine!
     
  3. Fitted a new fuel pump relay to my mk1 golf and got that running again. Happy times
     
  4. Today and yesterday i got all 4 wheels of my 250 and gave them and the arches a full detail ready for winter :smile:
     
  5. Looking awesome Mike!! Did you get a chance to measure the old wheel against the 197?
     
  6. Although only had the car afew days gave it another clean. Got someone coming round next sat for a proper polish to rid a few small light scratches which are bugging me!!

  7. Just fitted LED lights to my 250, Itching to go out and see what they look like in the dark but i'm going to wait to the morning. Should make starting work at 6am on a Saturday a little less painful :wink:
     
  8. Picked my car up on weds, and fitted dump valve, bmc panel filter and new CD player.
     
  9. Another coat of touch up on one of the wheels I nicked on a kerb turnign the wheel, Halfords Gloss Black seems a perfect match to the 18" wheels and can't even see it now.

    Annoyed as hell when I did it but given how well it worked not so fussed now :smile:
     
  10. Yes I did mine at the sprint day with mike and yes the Halfords stuff is just the job

    Air box mod but kinda wish I hadn't now..engine responds differently and I think feels worse. I'm surprised how much difference just cutting out a bit of air box makes.

    Oil change.

    Investigated why my near side headlight was dead. Turns out its the ballast dead so a new hid kit ordered and some normal halogen bulbs fitted for the time being.
     
  31. Gave her a good clean both inside and out.
     
  32. Over the last week she's had a service, MOT, new discs/ pads/ caliper pins a new suspension spring on the front drivers side as the other one broke completely :worried: oh and six months tax thrown in for good measure!

    Next month is 2 new front tires and all is well!

    Big thanks to mr pink for the pins and black sheep for the disc advice :wink:
     
  33. Mini service today, spark plugs and cabin filter. Oil change tomorrow
