What have you done to your car today ???

[Potatoes]

Booked her in to see @markfishy tomorrow to get the belts and dephaser done.

Looking forward to getting her back and continuing with the amatuer fettling at home

 

[Karlos182]

Fitted my "Fatty-style" induction kit

Replaced my flakey heater control panel face and replaced the dead right hand bulb from behind it. Now it's all together though it looks like the bulb the other side is dead (or just not as bright?), bit disappointing after all that!

Complete ball ache that job!

 

[James H]

I nearly gave up when the cables wouldn't come out the back of the radio 😂

Dephaser sounded like a diesel for a a while now. Today i took off the cambelt and tomorrow i will replace dephaser and cambelt aux kits.
Was pretty straight-forward process. Lack of access was not too bad. The aux tensioner was by far the least accessible from all of this.
Previous "mechanic" had broken a piece from alternator bracket, a piece from aux belt tensioner (the square hole was snapped), and a piece from the plastic timing cover. Timing was also off by a little bit.
Hopefully tomorrow she will be running happier than ever

96k mile service this morning. Mmm clean oil...

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Swapped a broken spring on the C2

Refurbed my KTR solid top mounts......
removed circlips, pushed out old bearings using vice, bit tight but not too much trouble. Cleaned everything up and reassembled with new bearings. Simple job, nice result, and best of all I got the bearings online for £18 each, compared to the refurb kit from Ktec which is over £70 .

Hi, how did you drain the old power steering fluid? Thanks :up:.

 

[bearne1]

Hi, how did you drain the old power steering fluid? Thanks :up:.

The quick and easy way by using a syringe to remove the fluid, refilled, turned wheel full lock both ways a few times, then repeated the process a few times.

Thought about cleaning it.

Checked weather on 3 different websites - raining on all of them.

So didn't wash it.

It didn't rain :rage:

 

[imprezaworks]

Cleaned it, and on a Saturday too.

 

[Potatoes]

Picked my car up from Mark Fish Motorsport... very pleased to get it back

 

[imprezaworks]

What did you have done

 

[Potatoes]

What did you have done

Original plan:

• Change cambelt/dephaser/aux belt
• Change oil and filter
• Change pollen filter
• Install my pre-cat lambda
• Let me know what else needs work... and do it!

What they ended up doing:

• All of the above
• Top-up gearbox oil (1ltr!)
• New crank shaft pulley bolt
• DS2500 pads on front
• New brake fluid
• Lower cambelt cover
• Inlet manifold gasket
• CV boot clip
• New spark plugs
• Inlet manifold breather seal
• Inlet plenium chamber bolts

Quite a bit! :confounded:

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha, it's only money :/

 

[Potatoes]

[182Brodie]

Change what i can only describe as a 12yr cabin filter.
Changed oil and filter
New thermostat and coolant

 

[imprezaworks]

I replaced the cabin filter a few months back. Amazing it gets over looked. Cheap and a piece of piss to replace.

Couldn't believe how bad it was when i got it out, is it not a service item?

 

[imprezaworks]

It is, forget the years/miles.
