Well it's been a while so where to start!
In October after an op I wasn't able to drive for a while so was the perfect opportunity to get the car into a body shop to sort out the near arch and boot lid corrosion. Not overly pleased with the colour match but only noticeable when clean in the right light, but overall I'm happy as the rear arch was a mess from a previous owners accident and cheap repair.
Soon after than my drivers window reg went so another call to mjr901 had that sorted.
More recently she cost me best part of 900 quid for a service, cambelt and rear discs and pads, along with various advisories!
A couple of the advisories are now sitting on the kitchen table waiting to be fitted including a Bosch S4 096 battery and a tandem pump off a 2008 octavia as mines leaking.
Tears were recently brought to my eye due to stones attacking my wheels and winning! Been so careful with parking and then the paint collapses at the sight of a stone.
Due to
@DrStrange and my limited sight with halogen bulbs I bought some LED bulbs for dipped beam and I'm very happy with them. I need to mod my new clear lense headlights to how I did them for HID's to mount the ballast and resistors neatly to act as a heat sink so for now I'm not fitting the resistor which fools the canbus system.
Just the sidelights (MTECH CREE)
And some new LED number plate lights as the 3 year old ones started to set off the warning constantly.
I've also had the dreaded camshaft wear advisory so that's now on the list of things to do this year. Although currently in the process of buying a new house which will cut down my mileage slightly.
