I’ve used the stuff in the past on several cars and parts and always came up good. Just couldn’t remember how far the small bottle went.

I want to get some GTechniq C4 to make the black platsics on the Defender back to black again. No idea how much I will need as I can't remember how far the 15ml bottle went the last time I had it. Need to cover the front light surrounds, grill and wing mirrors as a minimum. If it will cover the...

I remember when I did my Ph1 ITB conversion there was a bit of re-wiring in the ECU plug. I was using a GEN90 ECU though which apparently are for Ph2. All you need to do is swap a few wires around in the plug. A lot of it is detailed in my old project thread or HERE I assume as the ECU you are...

Reducing the collection, free up some time and money for the other cars I own. I won’t be buying your Ph1 sorry, I have a problem but not that much of one to need another that quickly!

This has now been sold and was collected earlier. Just a matter of time before I ruin my life again with another Ph1

I will try and keep the red barge out the way as I’m sure I won’t be the fastest in it. I’m looking forward to be able to drive it faster and harder than I can/allowed on the roads. Ironically it is the most powerful car I own…from new….210bhp back in 1989. Tempted to get a set of better brake...

I’ve used Gtechniq C5 and Gyeon Rim before. Both very good. The Gyeon stuff was meant to be rated to a higher temperature so I had the stuff in track wheels. I used the C5 stuff off a set of winter wheels this year and held up really well in the crap weather.

I think I used at least three cans of colour and two lacquer.

I rattle can’d the bumper on my Ph1. Does it look better than it did - yes. Could it be better without a proper respray - no. Do I regret doing it - no. I only did it as the whole bumper was like flat and faded and no amount of polish was going to get it back. Did a few coats of plastic...

I've used the stuff in the past, very happy with the results. As Clio_fool has shown and said it is a lot better than leaving it untreated. I also went over it with a DA polisher and that helped. Another trick I have used is just get some paint mixed up as an aerosol and apply in the same way...

Join the club. I’ll be in the big red barge and it might have more power out the factory than a 182 I have a feeling it will be the slowest thing out there!

Got a morning track session booked. Will be bringing the E34 for this. Also next year target of getting the Clio fixed

I remember having to do this back in 2020 when it all kicked off for all our code base and repositories. Couldn’t have slave, master, black lists, white lists. Still have some of the words kicking about which is apparently ok now. And in a previous job we were the Image Analysis team so...

Ran out of wheel cleaner. Found some Autoglym Clean Wheels in the shed. Actually not that bad! Sprayed on, waited, jet washed off and all the dirt had collected nicely to be washed off. Granted the wheels have been coated in C5 and it was only light dirt but I was impressed for something found...

Baby seat will be in the car. I’m using this day as an excuse to get away from family life. This reminds me, I still need to buy said baby seat.

I’m seriously considering taking the E34 out in the morning session. It’s probably the only suitable working car I’ll have to take to a track day come July.

@dann2707 ^^ this! Girlfriend has the proper car and I just need something as a little run around kind of thing. Plus I have issues and this Ph1 is perfect. I’m actually going to use my E34 as the family car until I save up a bit for something proper to get. But any excuse to have another...

I like this a lot, Ph1’s are such a pretty little car when they look like this. I need a family car…these have iso fix in the back…and they are simple mechanically and easy to fix…… must resist the temptation. Tbh more appropriate family car than the Z3 I’m currently driving. When I see good...

Not going to lie, did laugh a lot at that

I’ve got an iPhone 14 Pro so has the LiDAR on to help with focusing. Which is great. But when you try to take a photo through a window it won’t focus, assume it’s the LiDAR giving the wrong focal point. There was a massive stag in the garden earlier and I couldn’t get a photo of it Tried...

So you say not to use a wheel cleaner and just use snow foam/shampoo?

GTechniq C5 wheel armour - I am very impressed! I hate cleaning wheels, especially the Style 32’s I have. But I have these wheels a good decontamination, clean and then a C5 coating before they went on the car the a few weeks back. I am washing them now and chucked some generic wheel cleaner...

I've got these dehumidifier bags / moisture trap and use them in my Z3 and they have been perfect. I've not had a misty window so far this winter and I am using the car most days and getting in it about 6am, so way before it would naturally clear up. I tend to use one for a few days then swap...

Has it been the year of the broken/unused Ph1?! I even had an awful thought of selling my E34 to get enough funds without needing to save up to "finish" the Clio - gear box rebuilt with LSD, sort out the body work and any rust, refresh the undersides (remove and powdercoat front subframe and...

Mine hasn't moved in 8 months still with a poorly gearbox and that wont change for at least another year ☹️

The camo pant job worked 🤦🏻‍♂️ I thought the were Land Rovers, sure the other one was an Evoque and they were both being followed by a Range Rover

Couple of self driving Land Rovers being followed by a Range Rover have just done a few laps pat work and what I thought crashed into the roundabout.

If you need an interior there is one under the stairs of a house I used to live in Reading. I didn’t know what to do with it so put it there and forgot about it as it was in a cupboard in the cupboard under the stairs so wasn’t even on show. I’d laugh if it is still there 9 years later.

Finally changed the phaser solenoid seal. What a prick of a job Ended up using a punch to bend it enough to come out. Quick clean and then used a socket to push the new one in. Feels a lot more snug. Had the car running for 10mins and no oil on the rocker cover so take that as a win. Forgot...
