brilliant, mines not in too bad a condition so that dye may just spruce it up a bit, thanks

The dye is evil stuff if you get it on anything other than what you're trying to dye and it changes your skin colour for about a week so be carefulbrilliant, mines not in too bad a condition so that dye may just spruce it up a bit, thanks

Time for a much needed clean

How many times have you needed to top it up since Monday? Surely the first time would be a clue that something wasn't right? 🤣

Needed doing Tuesday after it'd been to work and back, I figured that's not too bad as it was the first time it'd been driven properly.
Needed doing again Wednesday evening, which really it shouldn't.
No gasket for the waterpump, just two O-rings to seal. Didn't seem like the best design, think it's probably one weeping.

For the RS stickers
TTE Centre Caps (set of 4) | RP Graphics
These stickers come in two sizes, the centre cap stickers are measured to fit on 50mm centre caps & the rim stickers are sized to fit on the lip of the rim as found on OEM Megane RS wheels. Both are sold as sets of 4.If you have any questions please check our FAQ, if you can't find the answer...
I went with the center cap size
EBay for the spoke sticker.

My youngest is coming home from the Falklands today, so I got his car ready by reconnecting the battery and giving it a good clean. To my surprise I found the door slightly ajar and evidence that someone had been using it as a crack den.
There was a torn-up can of beer left in the footwell, likely used for their fix. It seems they cut themselves badly, as there was blood all over the car 🤢
It took a couple of hours to clean up, but I can still smell cigarettes. Welcome home to Britain son 😂

It was on his property under a car cover. His driveway is really long and has tree cover so fairly secluded.
All the straps were tight so you can imagine my surprise when I saw the door ajar. How they squeezed in is beyond me.
His girlfriend said she heard the dog barking near the gate last week when it was chucking it down. So I guess it was just a one nighter to seek refuge from the storm.
We’ve looked at the ring door bell footage and a chap can be seen exiting the property at 6 in the morning after a good nights kip 😂
His camera was in his glovebox and other items of value, but those were untouched, which was awfully nice of them.

You may have given me some ideas for my track car @Andy P 🤔

Done a couple of guvvys this week.
1 - Clio 197 airbag recalibration on track car.
All the faults stored and recalibrated in ten mins.
2 - Meg 250 diagnosis and repair.
The owner was local and got in touch with me. It was misfiring on cyl 1 and had been in a garage for comp test/parts swapped cyl to cyl and no joy. I suggested it could be a cracked head but went to look at it with fresh eyes.
Pulled number 1 plug and the lad said thats 4 aint it 😆 borescoped it, looked fine so refitted plug and a spare good coilpack. Started up and running sweet. 15 mins to fix.

Finally had enough of the melted wheel and half chewed toffee interior trim, so go around to removing the sticky crap from the interior plastics and fitting a retrimmed steering wheel. It's a much nicer place to be now

It was a bad batch from the original suppliers a few years back. I had to change mine after 3 track days due to perishing.

A couple of things on today's list. Had a mate of mine helping out too, which was certainly appreciated!
Started late this morning with the front end looking a bit tired.
Surface cleaned most of the frontal area and got that painted up. Headlights swapped out for two replacement units that needed new adjusters (such a s**t job to do) - do headlight units really need to sealed shut?
Horn now working fine - connectors weren't corroded, just caked in crap and benefitted from a clean. Headlights both working as should and the arch liner got sorted out too. Pretty constructive day, though I just wish the dark inserted headlights weren't like unicorn's teeth to get hold of. Still not a fan of the light grey inserts - even when the headlight units themselves are in very good condition. To me they just sun-faded and a bit naff.
- Needed a small patch sorting out on the offside front arch liner.
- The horn had stopped working.
- The xenon bulb had stopped working in the offside unit.
- Swapping out a very tatty nearside headlight unit for a much tidier one.
- Wanted to freshen up the front cross-beam area with a bit of POR15 that I had left over.

I'd like the thank the designer from Kia, who thought it was a good idea to bury the diesel filter behind the battery and behind the ECU. Making a 5 minute job, much longer.
but I'm not going to call him a total dick, because including a handy little plunger on the top lets you re-prime the system without needing an OBD tool. Decent for a car they made till 2018.

They put it there because no one changes diesel fuel filters 😂

Spent pretty much the whole day cleaning inside and out. The inside had half a football pitch on the mats and the outside was embarrassingly filthy. No pics because it was dark by the time I’d finished 😂
Ordered new Trophy side decals as one is peeling off and installed my dash cam. Had a right result because the wiring had already been hard wired in by the previous owner. Bosh!
