What have you done to your car today ???

Had my Car Corner Weighted and aligned @Tuned-UK in wrexham. 972kg with half a tank. It seems I need a new rear Beam, rear toe is 6.3mm left and 3.4mm right. Looking for a straight one ...

Richard was very good, good comunication when booking in (via FB messenger). Very proffesional when I arrived, explained what he had done etc. Car felt great on the way home. Happy to recommend!

Off to collect a rear beam today, fix the wonkey rear alignment of mine.

That's great to hear, can't wait to get coilovers fitted and properly set up! Good luck getting the rear beam sorted!

No, it's actually a used item from a breaker that was in half decent condition and I gave it a refresh with some of this stuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131537613845?epid=23021101651&itmmeta=01HWZYFC54E0F3FAVHSBB67B6J&hash=item1ea040b415:g:-70AAOSw27VlGurh&itmprp=enc:AQAJAAAA8GsYru0CjE9G+BDLeX2mTY9RHYSDaRubzTj/W/iwDq+Fnium350yydBvK2Lb9CKwTA1fAm/neyqSDxbfddWvITNMTR7px3gIg1pfW9pe93x--hIOtkuiVGofCXcmGc3MpVheizFio0Cq6V/ygQ9JSmM+ObsDFIvg6lCmWSlNNzIDFWZJyU3Dx6Pz0AcM0/1JZO7qSZs8lE/CMZhgSdFWn2egbDM/L0n4xtP5hVH2CBFGP4KCz3/AO6tcMclJHDuEqqnQhx22htWzUaSEUp9bxQ6XXr0Q1RSiUQQbgqaTGvxffgfdYFDXcCMzxkgdGCWNeg==|tkp:Bk9SR9zCvf7nYw and some stick on aluminium foil https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173091753968

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 careful

Time for a much needed clean

Monday I replaced the waterpump on the Mrs Kia.

Today I'm booking it into a garage as it's needing topping up too often

 

[G. Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

it's needing topping up too often

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? 🤣

oh and I lent her my car so she could still get to a customer meeting.

Engine light comes on halfway down the M62.

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.
