Well I've managed to do the exhaust!
2 of the bolts came out, had to drill the other 2 :-/ Could have been worse.
New one slotted together easily :D
Crank sensor changed as well, so ready to go :D
So Jobs done, many a first for me are :
Exhaust (from cat back)
Crank Sensor
Brake Fluid
Front Disks & Pads
Blank EGR
Coolant Flush
Wipers all round
Remove Towbar
Breather Clean
change Spark Plugs
Fuel Filter
Replace Climate bulbs
& Oil & Filter change
Check strap bush
Left to do are a couple of minor things, adjust bonnet catch, replace grommit under Hid washer pump, think thats it :)
Unsorn and insure next week and she'll be off :o
Very pleased with myself for managing that lot :D
-
Well done mate :y

So, how many drill bits? :y
Top set of jobs done there mate!

Ohhh 1 or 2, picked up a new set....now need another set ;D
As you know, its watching you do those previously that has given me the courage to have a go :y
-
Congrats Jimbob :y,sounds like you've been a busy man...
-
Well done :y

Well done mate! I would love to have the courage to have a go! I know my brake pads are due in about 2000 miles (few weeks for me) so i MAY have a go myself?? :o :-?
Would love to have a play about. with the support given here i may just try a few bit myself.............!
-
Well done mate, that's a decent list :y
(you'd have needed a small fortune for the stealers to do that lot!)
-
;) Great achievement; what a list of things sorted!.....`puts me well-and-truly to shame :y
-
Cheers all.
Yes parts were a pretty penny :(
Year ago no way would I have even thought of tackling that lot, but this place, and watching Mark do various jobs has given me the knowledge and courage to have a go :y
Not all those jobs strictly needed doing, but as the car is off the road, I had the time to have a go, with no worries if something did go wrong and I had to shout help.
Brake pads are quite easy! go for it :y
