Replaced the odd headlight with a silver one.
Now they match and I have a grey type one for sale!

Replaced the auto gear lever surround and gaiter, and handbrake gaiter. Took about 10 minutes, but I thought I broke the gear lever when it eventually popped off!

Changed the oil today. Drained out 6.25L and put 6.5L of new oil in along with a new Bosch filter
The old stuff had been in since feb this year, ran it through a filtered funnel into the new containers and was pleased to see no debris or sludge whatsoever.

Cleaned and coated with Hydro2 silicone spray, adds some shine and water flies off it now!
Also ordered some Silent Coat to deaden the door skins over the Christmas break.

Don't know if I mentioned it but I've got Carly if you need any coding or diagnostics!
Hope it didn't get too dirty on the drive home!

Well yesterday now, but just driven back from North Wales. We went across country to from Llanberis to Newport, much faster than the M6 on a Sunday night. beat are drive up time on the motorway by 35 minutes. What a great place to drive at night.
PS We also found the perfect Garage in mid Wales. On sale, Bournvile Chocolate, Super unleaded and Dandelion and Burdock pop. The Holy trinity.

big day for me yesterday, me and a mate went through and:
Fitted new brake pads all round (EBC Bluestuff)
Bled the brakes with fresh DOT4 fluid
Checked coolant and air filter for condition
Swapped all the locking wheel nuts for normal ones
Fitted the towing eye
only things left are get new track tyres installed on the rims, and a wheel alignment, and then we're ready for first trackday, which is hopefully going to be Bedford GT on Sat 20th January if anyone fancies coming along

Adam1985, that’s the exact same headunit I have and am thinking about installing in my e86! Which adapters/harness thingies did you need, and what did you do to retain PDC? What make and model numbers?

Hey I bought the following to fit the head unit. Not sure if you have steering wheel controls but the adapter works for me most of the time. I do have an intermittent issue with the steering wheel controls stopping working for a day or two and then they come back on.ionofchios wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 9:29 pm Adam1985, that’s the exact same headunit I have and am thinking about installing in my e86!
