What have you done to your car today ???

[Smallzy90]

Yesterday was remove engine from my 182, and an hour and half drive to remove my new donor engine, and then an hour and half back to re fit my engine...
Got it all fitted in but needs pipes and fluids back in.

Today's task is to get it running again!

Picture of yesterday's ' how much can you get in the back of a ford connect '

 

[CrippsCorner]

Attempted to fit my new TMIC...but one bolt is being a son of a b**ch and I cannot remove it

Used my new little device to rid of pre-tensioner errors

Tested my new lights and they do work but look awful (due to my dodgy trimming job) and are highly illegal so time to sell off for some LED replacements...

 

[Andy Tims]

A good thrash for about an hour, then cleaned inside and out, checked all the fluids and tops up as required, checked tyre pressures.

MOT last week on 182, bought last summer and not had to spend anything on it but knew a few things would come up. identified cracked spring and advice dampers a bit shoddy so took opportunity to refresh all round - Cup dampers and Eibach sportlines, also new discs and pads allround (Brembo HC and DS2500), leaky rear caliper replaced and something iffy with one of rear lights.
hopefully get it back today for a drive in the sun

Spent 90 mins tonight cleaning and waxing a front wheel and cleaning the wheel arch... only three more wheels to do :-/ !!! It's not at anywhere near 100% clean but it way better than what I started with!

 

[Ash84]

Ha and I didn't have any product to blacken the wheel so a trip to Halfords is needed after work tomorrow!

Replaced the poverty spec trophy rear bench with the half leather half suede ones from @cobra248. Looks 1000x better!

I've been thinking of doing this when my seats go back in, does trophy have the s****y door cards too or suede?

Naff cloth ones. Will upgrade those eventually as well I think.

You should have fitted the boot with a new clip. Fitting with a broken clip is asking for trouble[emoji23]

Quick question guys - how much does a modded exhaust roughly add on to an insurance premium?

Fitted my rear brake compensator that's been leaking for an age, had to make 4 new brake pipes up too as they were all seized into the compensator! Fitted 2 new rear flexis while I was in there too. Bled them all up, set the tyre pressures then had to get out ASAP as the workshop was about to be locked up for the weekend!

Have identified a gubbed rear wheel bearing, so that'll some new discs and pads I'll be fitting soon!
Oh, and a bit of rust at the bottom on the rear wheel arches, normal spot for them to go?

 

[Clio_fool]

Noticed I seem to have had my wheel nut key stolen. Put my tools away and got on the beer early.

What's the shape? I can send you some photos of mine see if it's the same. Don't know if there were many variations?

Its a squiggly shape [emoji38]. I reckon DDC have kept it when they did the brakes. I'll give them a call on Tuesday and bollok them.

My existing insurance company wouldnt even insure me anymore with an exhaust and induction - had to go somewhere else and best i could find was a tenner more a month.

Frankly I was amazed that Admiral didn't really seem that fussed about it, but I think they only permit two mods on their policies so limited with what else I can do
