Derv is booked in for the rear bumper to be painted. Fed up of looking at all the scratches on it

Will also have the headlights tinted and the B pillars wrapped in carbon

Just waiting for clips and seals to arrive then the boost pipes can be fitted

Had it serviced today.........last two garages have now FAILED to replace the fuel filter properly now  :angry:

If you want a job doing properly it seems you have to doit yourself as when I changed it, it never leaked.  Got to keep an eye on the alternator belt again now and hope it doesnt fray like the last time......

Going in for paint tomorrow; got fed up of looking at all the scratches on the rear bumper  :sad:

Genuine fuel filters?

Always find that loads of pattern fuel filters seem to leak like a b!tch. Swap the seals around and they don't.

Where all my moneys went.

I only fit genuine parts  :wink:

What they seem to do is rely on the screws pulling the lid flush. I find gently tapping it down so its flush and then tightening with the screws work

But what do i know, im not a mechanic  :rolleyes:

Ah, that type. More importantly, why don't they check it's not leaking?

Good question  :rolleyes: unless whilst its idling it doesnt generate enough pressure to leak. Although by the time i got home and left it idling it was flowing like a river  :angry:

I find the connections on the fuel filter almost impossible to unclip!!  :sad:
