Fixed the dreaded sunroof leak for a massive £6.99...
PH2 RS172
cant stand the boot badges so removed them (ages ago lol) and only just got round to fitting this badge. took the edges off and painted it up silver. as standard it came black and would be too ott on a silver car. also covers the 'clio' holes up quite nicely. well impressed, makes a change from the usual new age rs badge (and cheaper lol)
Ph1 172 & Leon Cupra
Ph1 lights fitted thanks to Dr Jekyll for them

Refitted the seats which was a pig of a job. Couldn't put my fresh flocked parts in as only the dash turned up. Been told they will be with me Tuesday.

Replaced a failed fuel injector. It'd obviously not been quite right for a while, engine feels much smoother now it's been swapped.
Did manage to pour an entire fuel rail full of petrol down myself. What a bloody idiot......

It might just be the angle of the picture, but the pins don't look fully inserted in this caliper?

Got fed up with my Connects2 iPod adaptor repeatedly becoming disconnected behind the dash and not being able to change tracks, so I pulled out the head unit and cable tied the connector to the Connects2 box. Hopefully that'll be the last time I have any problems with it.

What symptoms were you experiencing for you to change it?

Nasty misfire and running on three cylinders. I wasn't sure which injector was at fault but the one I replaced was very difficult to get out of the head and pretty much fell apart in my hands once it was out so I'm pretty confident that I got the right one.
After half an hour of running around with the new injector in the misfire hasn't come back so fingers crossed it's all good now

Will do next time I'm in the shed
Had a nice new clear windscreen fitted. Fitted some new bluecol wipers from Tesco. For £3.50 a wiper they're brilliant. A copy of the Bosch aero's but for a fraction of the money.

Replaced my nearside HID bulb, what a shite design having to pull off one side of the bumper and remove the headlight to change the friggin bulb, French bellends haha.
Changed the gearbox oil. Not sure if its placebo but the gearshifts always feel so much nicer straight after.

Tried getting the JCW grills on to my Mini... the 'hard' one was actually quite easy really, but the 'easy' one is f**king impossible! 😊

Done the 'easy' one now... did snap off half the connectors but s**t happens!
. Done at the wheel specialists in avonmouth, Bristol. Top job and excellent service, would highly recommend. Nice going somewhere full of car enthusiasts too. Excellent colour match as well.

Took the new car for MOT and it passed. Woo. Got an advisory that my grills held on with Blu-Tack lol (it isn't, it's epoxy resin just holding it in place)
Gave it clean inside and out. Waxed with some Collinite 845 as recommended by @sparklesthpony then sesal with some Autoglym gloss protector.
Came up nice and shiney.
they're 10mm generic ones, non hubcentric with longer bolts. Cheers for comment

Got questioned by the police as I was sitting in the road trimming off the excess with a scalpel! :anguished:

Tried to find the leak causing the passenger front and rear footwell to be soaked. Can't find anything, the middle scuttle drain hole was a little clogged but it's draining fine now.
I hope it was just the waterbottle I found was full and had leaked it all out.

The paint was flaking off my heater control panel and fitted a second hand one from ebay. If anybody plans on doing that there is no need to remove the hazard light panel like the guide says and you also don't need to flex the panels to take it out even though it is a tight fit. Once you've unplugged everything and taken the bolts off you can turn it so the heater controls face downwards and then push the left hand side up and back and it comes out quite easy once you get it angled right.
