Changed the Elite 3.2 front discs and pads, had the Runway Enduro XL 16's fitted the spare wheels for the TD, and fitted the wheels to the Elite for its MOT on Saturday, as the Eagle F1's are a bit worn on the outside edge. Strange this, as I've only done 3K since I went to WIM. ???
On the test run discovered that the rear blind has stopped working. Bugger, something else to fix! >:( >:( >:(

Picked up the 3.2 Elite....

What did you use on those headlights Murph ? ..
Did the 2.2s with a 3M kit good results but on very close inspection fine scratch swirls are visible  :-\
