Wash the inside and out, paint both bumpers. New oil, oil filter, coolant, coolant bottle and spark plugs, and tidy up the engine bay... Well that's the plan

I might clean mine, it's disgusting at the moment! And also investigate the snapping sound coming from both N/S shocks when turning left, see if i can see when i'm losing coolant, see if i can bodge the backbox again as the rear bracket has snapped off and see if theres anything else i can do that's free!

Lovely rain eh ?
But still managed to swap out the JOM lowered shocks on the front of the valver to some adjustables of unknown make this afternoon. 1.5 hr for one side and hour for the other. Soaked through though, but at least not too cold.
Maybe the rears this evening ???

Also hope to replace performance rear box as it has rattling baffles back to standard original.

Took the door panels off & fitted thick plastic bags (pallet covers) and loads of duck tape to my doors due to the lack of door membrane & a wet floor.

Hope it sorts it out soon.. sick of having to have the car running for 15 mins in the morning to demist the screen

Bought a new water flange for the MK3, going to replace that tomorow if weather is good, BTW do they make them in metal?, as the plastic one's tend to loose shape after abit, causing it to leak.
