got out there in the end and gave her a good going over (the car that is)  :wink:


noticed two very small dents tho in the passenger door which p**sed me right off!! supermarket parking for sure!!


she did look so nice after tho and got great fun taking her for a spin. . even better when i filled up with petrol and it was 82.9!!!  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Yeah, the petrol prices are looking more & more favourable....best make the most of it before Mr. Brown twigs eh.

Gave mine the works today inside and out regardless of the weather...........never seen so much not produced from one nose!!!

I hate it when you spot something wrong with he car, even though nobody else would notice, it really gets to me.

Ordered some caliper paint this afternoon so I'll get that done over the winter before I put the posh wheels back on.

Bought a kit for the calipers off fleabay.

Just doing them in black cos I don't want them to look like something they're not and they will look better than the rusty colour that they are at the mo.

Had to replace the offside ABS sensor on mine... apparently they're quite a common fault but it was only the dashboard light that was coming on and not locking up brakes.

Yeah,

They should be able to plug it in and tell you straight away what's wrong with it.

Hopefully it'll not be anything expensive.

I'll let you know how I get on with the ebay kit for painting the calipers but I think I'll leave it until it's above -8 degrees before I do them

Cheers Mate,

Still a long way to go yet before it's anything like some of the motors on this forum but I'll just keep going as the funds (and missus) allow.
