They look great. Just one question though, where did you get the mud flaps from? I could do with some on mine.

VW, I think they were £70

Only purchased the front due to FWD and living in rural area. (the GTi mud guards are GTi specific)

Surely it would have made more sense to attend to the, albeit small, water leak first??

Mine second replacement pump was leaking for 2 years as it was so small I only had to top up every few months. Just a matter of keeping an eye on it.

Thanks for that, I live out in a fairly rural area too and would like to stop the side of the car and ends of the sills from getting sandblasted.

Drove to in-laws and fitted a washer pump on the drive to their mk3 Focus while they were away visiting other relatives (dodged a bullet)  :whistle:.  The ford pump got broken during the cold spell/ not enough screen wash etc.


And realised I need to wash my car!  :grin:

37mpg not bad after some motorway work.

I was up past Fakenham which is a 3 hour round trip for me.  Car doesn't look it be its taken on a modern matt wrap look.

I must give it a clean as its been a month now.

It might be that the weather is putting people off from doing things to them as well.

Or they are intelligently just quietly keeping hold of them.
