So what have you done to your car today?

[biggriffin]

Went to Huntingdon in one of them 

I know, does it stop now. nice new wheels n tyres, also could do with some waxoil underneath...

[Doctor Gollum]

Rewired a Skoda Octavia drivers door for next door...

Apparently Vagcom cannot solder

It'll be going for a couple of days up to Rustbuster's for the full treatment.

So VAG door looms haven't got any better then!

Apparently not

[tigers_gonads]

Replaced the rear donut bushes with polys 

While the back end was in pieces ......
Attacked the rear chassis / wheel arches with a wire wheel on the drill to get any rust off.
Gave everything a good dose of Krust then blathered everything in black chassis paint 
Evened up the handbrake via those little hidden wheels which I can never remember which way to turn 
Gave all the brake pipes a good rub down then sprayed even more white grease on them

Replaced passenger door latch/locking motor in the Jag. Took pics this time and did a guide for one of the Jag forums...  ...not that they have a section for guides, probably because all Jags come with a little man in the glovebox that "just sorts everything out".

Clearly, my man is missing

Or he has quit, in protest at your driving   

Send me a link to that guide, might need it one day!

On the big more UK focused Jag site

Can't be arsed with the more Yankee orientated ones (and struggle with the UK one a lot as well), as standard answer is "take it to dealer".


My experience with Jag dealers is approximately the same as with Vauxhall dealer service departments. IE, shit. Worse than shit.  Clearly this week, whilst it was in there, one of there saleman went out for an extended lunchbreak in it. self-abusers.

I'll probably be looking at XF's in the near future, so worth knowing

But you wouldn't be so retarded as to take it to a dealer anyway

Well......it appears you did

Against my better judgement. But it was a recall that only a dealer can officially do

Replaced headlight level adjustment blocks. Both were broken from body, ball joints were intact. Maybe somebody tightened them too much or something.. Easy job, took maybe 1 hour (never done this before).

Could not contact the guy who advertised aluminium blocks here, so I got these instead.

Make sure you run a tap into the thread to clean up swarf from machining before fitting,as set I used the thread got stripped on first assembly and required dismantling again .

Also worth running a flat file over all edges as unlike the aluminium ones they are not too smooth from the moulding process.
