V-Brace sprayed yellow today!

Got rid of my stubby and put the original whippy back on.

Tomorrow going to put the one piece of foam that I took out of the sound generator back in!

Mike fitted a new CV joint to my Audi a4... Couldn't belive how bad both ends were! Drives like new again now

Just sprayed mine black so they didnt stand out after some of the paint had flaked off, I didnt even think about making them a visible feature behind the grill :/

Mine had flaked in the same way, so they were half silver have black. Nice in yellow as you can't really see it, so only a subtle hint of colour!

Fitted new Bosch platinum plugs, think they were still the originals! Plus finally found out where I am loosing coolant from - There is a tiny pin prick hole in the side of the expansion tank, new one here to fit tomorrow, and as the bottom of the rad is bowed, I have a new Hella one of those to go on too. Will try and remember to take some pics for a how to.

Liking that - May paint mine when I re-do the calipers..

Weekend job!

Funny how a new Bosch unit shipped from Germany is cheaper than a rebuilt Lucas unit from ECP.

Voltage spiking under high electrical and engine load, tested with a replacement known working one last week and no issue. The one in it is an RTX brand rebuild, and googling them doesn't make the best reading! Ah well, at least I can be confident that this is OEM standard

Today my roof motor was relocated into the boot by Mike (DLV) at Tony's gaff in Lincolnshire. Great work by Mike, great hospitality from Tony and about 10 Zeds in attendance. Great drive over and superb weather all day. Have I said it was great?
