Jobs to do
« on: 11 July 2006, 16:19:37 »
Well I found the place and I'm here. My car got driven into and I have a quote for £268 to repair it - I will pass this on to Interlink so they can pay the repair place.

Looks like my bumper had been sprayed before as we found a mess at one end where it had popped out slightly. Also the paint was flaking off rather than being chipped - he said it had been poorly sprayed. He will also be spraying my wing spoiler.

Before the holidays I am going to have to fix the leak behind the engine, best case is loose Jubilee clip, worst is badly cut pipework, HBV is in the middle!

Yes it has leaked since I fitted the evaporator feed :(

Other jobs are to refit the radio aerial as it fell off as I pushed the head unit back in. However the 10 CD changer I fitted made life more interesting anyway.

My problem with CD changers is I always forget to change CDs. Currently, in my changer, I have a nice selection of Xmas tunes. ie Slade, Wizard, Band Aid etc  :-X

Mine is supposed to do mp3 as well. I have bought a couple of CDs for it and TBH half the songs on a CD are pants.

I will be doing a few before holiday, I am wondering if the changer would do ATRAC though as it is a Sony

Full service
New centre caps to fit
two new tyres ( got them) to fit

then i am on to the long term stuff

  • rust bubbles along every window ledge

sleek and shiny new (blueflame?) exhaust

Mine is juddering while braking - new discs required, also I think the front tyres are borderline.
