Just finished fitting an air horn to mine. Not that I'm a massively* overgrown schoolboy or anything.

Fitted parking sensors so the GFand step mum can drive it over summer. Will have to put a cut out in for towing though I guess!

Changed the oil & filter on the Hyundai Terracan, first time I have done it since buying it last July, bit  fiddly but will be easier next time now I know that I don't need to remove both underbody protective shields !

Relaced o/s/r door.The one which was on there wasnt in bad condition,but the one on my breaker was better so changed it.
Strangely,the car is z147,and the door I took off was z157.Couldnt tell the difference though when it was on the car.The door I just put on is z147 and compared to the rear quarter it looks quite different.
Im guessing its because the car it came from has been garaged so the paintwork hasnt faded over the years,whereas my car hasnt been garged and has faded a bit. :-\

Had to fit new steering Idler and front wishbones, got a hart attack when quoted £60 pounds a wishbone for Quinton Hazell pattern parts and nearly followed through when quoted £120 pounds for a steering idler by firstline, so a phone call to All German Parts and I now have Lemforder wishbones and steering idler for less money... Awesome, Also Jason from All German Parts said when the new website is up and running, he is planning to list all the omega parts he can supply and it will be searchable.

Now to book my car in for full Alignment of the suspension
