Yeah tell me about it! Just ordered a new belt, and power steering belt from AVS Spares. May as well do both while I'm there. Better start looking for a new cold air feed too now! Hopefully the weather is ok this W.E to do them, and my Dodo Juice Need for speed arrived as well today, so gonna give it a bit of attention. May do all my internal switch led's if I get time as well but there is no rush for that.

Just changed my drive belt and PAS belt thanks to the cold air feed! New belts arrived yesterday within 24hrs of ordering, so AVS are awsome, and well recommended!

Here are some pics!



And the culprit!



Got the original air pipe back on again until I get a new cold air feed. Been told to "leave that bloody car alone" now! The wench is at work tomorrow and the mother in law is havin the little un so it will be cleaning time, and I'm gonna start on my light tints yay!

Had a go at spraying my fogs and repeaters today. No go though.  :sad: Thought I would take my time and do it properly, and looked through what everyone else had done. Got them all off and cut them back useing 400 wet and dry. started using light coats as the stuff is quite runny, and thought I could build it up. As soon as the first coat was on though, the paint started cracking.  :sick:  Cut it back and tried again, and the same thing happened. tried to build coats on top after leaving it to dry for a bit, and see if it would cover the cracks, but no. So binned that idea now, just gonna have to see LL at the end of the month (pay day) and get some tint film off him.

Yeah made sure it was mixed well. I sprayed it in doors so it was a bit warmer (although in the conservatory so still a little chilly) and opened the windows to ventilate.
