    Also tinted the clear part of my rear lights, not sure how it'll look on silver. Nice little mod for the £3 it cost me though.

  9. Not today but i ordered 4 Yokohama AD08Rs yesterday.
     
  10. Fitted new injectors.
     
  11. I've got some to do tomorrow was it as easy as it looks ?
     
  12. Yes mate the guide is very handy. Took me about 40 minutes as not done it before. Make sure you have a rag under the fuel rail when you take it off as abit comes out.
     
  13. Cheers mate will do hope it goes well
     
  14. I have to replace mine aswell, let me know how it goes :tongueout:

    I think they would look amazing on red or black but it didn't really suit silver, which resulted in this...

  20. Passed its mot
     
  21. what did you use to tint them m8 ?
     
  22. Cheers :smile:
     
  23. Easy mate I would say though if you follow the guide on ms leave the wires on the injectors until you take the fuel rail out they are pretty diddly and hard to get on and off if you do it before you take the rail out hope that makes sense
     
  24. tyres fitted today
     
  25. Had 2 rear tyres fitted (bought there's from a member here), injectors replaced and a service including new plugs. All done by Mark Black at a price roughly £100 cheaper than a Renault dealer would charge just for the service!

    Then the bad news, Mark says 'watch the coolant as the bottle was empty' - I tell him I only filled it a couple of weeks ago so he pressure tests the system and the rad has a leak :mad: A driveshaft seal needs doing too, so that's another trip to Mark in a couple of weeks.

    Still, I think 2 Goodyear F1's, injectors, a service, a driveshaft seal and a new rad all done for around £600 is pretty damn cheap. My mrs paid £230 just for a basic service on her DS3 last week!
     
  26. just spent a good hour doing my lads r26 fuel pump, what a ball ache oh well done now!!!
     
  27. Retrofitted an auto-dimming rearview mirror, washed, applied glass sealer and another coat of wax to it.
     
  28. Foamed, washed, clayed, washed, dried, polished, sealed, dressed. Tomorrow's job the interior as I didn't have enough daylight
     
  29. Got a pic of the mirror?

    Where did you get the mirror from Smegal, if you don't mind me asking?

    I've seen a few on eBay, but not sure if they're the right ones.
     
  31. Washed mine as it needed it
     
  32. Took my window reg out as the window kept going up a d down of its own accord....quite chilly at 120 today..
     
  33. I'll get one tomorrow. The only real difference is that it's slightly bulkier had sensors on the front and back and doesn't have the level for aiming it down.

    I just got it from a local scrap yard (leeds). My car had the plug just there unused.

    I read on here that they are a straight swap.

    It was a massive ballache to remove my mirror. I ended up CAREFULLY tapping if with a hammer to get it off.
