What have you done to your car today?

[holdawayt]

Well, every other forum in the world has one of these threads. So why not?

Today I fitted my wheel to the mx5, and booked the welding for the 29th.

Actually how they're meant to look, weird I know but they're much roomier than the other ones with arm rests. Kind of a must for anyone over 6ft

[Tom5190]

I drove it cos its a week day and weekdays mean work

what's that bit of red wire?

*points*

also, do you want to buy a JDM flare for your footwell?

[Giraffe]

How often do you people actually wash your cars? Mine has been washed once since I bought it last April, and even that was by the hand car washes operated by all manner of foreign speaking individuals... I also cleaned the inside, with actual cleaning stuff. Once.

[smiith]

I saw mine out of the window earlier..

It's a little bit of electric window loom lol they're a nightmare. And I would actually but it's illegal to post them :(

Dave I haven't cleaned the passat since October.

[craig180]

I rubbed mine up against a Mitsi L200 in the petrol station.

Don't, that's a horrible mental image of me crushed in to a fatty and them rolling down a hill like a giant snowball, you know like you see on cartoons when people get swept up by them and just kind stuck on them? That's what I'm imagining.

How it's meant to be, don't think mine got cleaned once in the 1 and a half years I had it... I hoovered the inside when I gave it to my brother though I think.

[L33h]

[AlexFocusST]

Brought mine back 60kg heavier ,from the garage where the roll cage was being fitted!

[blackie_2k5]

Looked at it from the window, seems the blizzards have washed the salt off

[Nates-VTR]

Gave it a while over with some waterless shine, had a good polish and wax last Wednesday do still clean!

[jones91]

Walked past it as I walked to my work van this morning

Then walked past it again coming from my van into my house

That's about it

[Saxjoe]

Not so much what I did today, but I got told at work I'm getting a Berlingo 1.6 HDi 16V, anyone know what these are like?

[Tom5190]

[Saxjoe]

Jokes on you, it runs on diesel. :panic:

Just realised what I wrote, hope I don't make the same mistake filling it up haha!

[MartinObviously]

Bonnet was dirty, so I painted it.

[James93]

Washed both the cars :)

[tomsmarty]

Walked past it as I walked to my work van this morning

Then walked past it again coming from my van into my house

That's about it

Same as above except I noticed some lovely stone chips on my bonnet from the gritters on the motorway.

[McGuire86]

Put screen wash in.

[holdawayt]

I suppose I should have started this thread at the weekend. That or we have tremendously boring members these days!

[Carl-h]

After work I changed the fan belt and the coolant. Then diagnosed that the head gasket has gone. Fucking thing.

[stupotvtr]

Going to my mates work when he starts nightshift so we can undo some spazzy work I did last week. Fitted eccentric bushes incorrectly so need to rotate them :zainy:

[jones91]

Probably should of used a wider range of time really e.g week or month, most people on a random weekday will just drive their cars to work and back lol

[AlexB]

I picked my wheels up from being machined and dropped them off to get tyres on

[L33h]

Ive put new indicators on the bike if that counts

[holdawayt]

Well considering there's a 189 page topic on mx5nutz and a 40+ page over on edition with the same format - it would appear that it's just this forum with no progress lol.

[m11ler]

I drove it to work, parked it. Got back to it after work, checked the oil because i have a leaky oil filter housing, it was fine, drove it home.
New oil filter housing and driveshaft being fitted friday though :y:
(3rd driveshaft in around 9 months lol)

[Jamie]

Drove mine in a hurry too and from the station.

Bar that...

It's got this bad boy waiting to go on at the weekend.

[DAMSK11]

Drove it and reversed into my garden

[rey]

Decided I need new wipers and number plates...

Other than that, drove it :homme:

[Jazz]

Decided to drift the M3 into a lamp post last week on a wet round about (as you do) so she is in the bodyshop getting her bumper seen to, minor.

Been driving my mum's E320 avantgarde in the meantime, just put £50 in the bugger and it's only just over half way :n:

[willsy]

Drove the Ibiza to work & back

Roadster & AX remain tucked up in the garage

Sorted out all my docs into some nice organised folders though

[griff_106]

Shouted and swore at it for being French (and therefore as reliable as the British summer), contemplated selling/breaking the fucker and then went over to my mates to get some of the problems sorted. Slightly less angry at her now I guess.

They're not massive problems (clutch release bearing making a horrible noise, driveshaft/CV joint knocking and EML light on) but it just pisses me off when it's not running spot on. Sorting it out in this shitty weather is no fun so doesn't help, either :n:

[DeanAngell1234]

Drove it to meet my cousin on his lunch break.

Drove it to work (eco).

Let it warm up after work so I could make use of the quiet country roads on the way home :P

[Marv_106]

No actual work, but ordered piston rings, headbolts and rose joints for my new steering arms.

[ed-bradley]

what's that bit of red wire?

*points*

also, do you want to buy a JDM flare for your footwell?

I do please!

I had new tyres put on today, and changed my headlights :)

[wicked-vtr]

I fitted another welded diff, third one in a year. Picked up the rb25 sump after having oil temp feeds welded onto it. Just waiting for the inlet back now.

Tomorrow hopefully my harnesses will be here

[Ash91]

Looked at it through the garage window not driven it in days.

[holdawayt]

Ok so what did we all do to the cars at the weekend?

I sorted out some dodgy wiring and gave the passat a service.

[m4tt274]

I fitted some coilovers on a Golf for a mate.

[MartinObviously]

I kerbed my Ouragan alloys :(

They were working on the footway and the kerb they left was sticking out.

[Scott]

filled it up, again.

[craig180]

Wound the window down so that I could shout abuse at a retarded woman (well I'm assuming it was a woman as she was wearing a burkha) that decided she wanted to change lanes without indicating or even looking almost wiping out my passenger side front!

Suffice to say she just shrugged her shoulders and wouldn't look at me.

[Stissy]

i looked at it and thought about how much i hated it.

i didn't drive it today, i lift share with a guy from work so it's just sat on the drive.

[hellonpluto]

i hoovered mine out the other week...first time in about a year.

[holdawayt]

i hoovered mine out the other week...first time in about a year.

Urgh that reminds me I need to clear out the passat soon, it's practically a rubbish tip on wheels whilst also being a mobile tool box.

I'll have a tidy up at lunch.

[VeiRoN]

I've replaced the front wipers to aero flat type,seems to work fine.

[mlawlan69]

I have sorned mine :) bye bye sax!!

[jones91]

On the weekend I washed mine, also wound myself up about the filler marks coming through the paint :n:

[GolfJay]

Started sanding down, freshening up and painting my West front ready to go on at the weekend.

[Andy_K]

took the egr valve and inlet manifold off the ST yesterday, cleaned all the gunge out and refitted. Car now drives much better.

[Prickle]

I drove it to the garage, then Got my tracking done as i had to steer left to drive forward :D

[manta]

Washed all the shit off from fast show.

Bolted wing on properly.

[Ross]

New headlights (nightbreakers) on the range rover. Replaced a solonoid on the air suspension. Repaired an interior door handle trim thing.
New wishbones and droplinks on the 206. New headlights (as above). Did full service during the week.
Planned some more changes to the 106...

[MrChris]

Changed the lower gear box mount around yesterday to make my linkages work

Managed to find the problem that was causing the car to not start this morning, was an earth on the gear box

Now have a working car for the first time in 10 weeks

Happy days!

[PhilloVTR]

Replaced the bolts holding the front lights in with stainless steel ones.
Fitted angel eyes yesterday and the rusty bolts were a right pain!

[ed-bradley]

Removed the Differential, prop and halfshafts due to the Diff imploding on itself on saturday.

[DavidKent]

Stripped some bits off due to failure :(
All 3 engine mounts removed, lower one replaced with new, Cat Converter downpipe removed as snapped in 2 places due to failed engine mount - Waiting on posty to bring new parts so i can refit another 2 new engine mounts and cat converter :)

[willsy]

Applied another layer of wax on the AX. Then cleaned the boot floor

[Sophia_Bush]

[Jay_]

Got it awesomely sideways in rush hour traffic. :y:

[Jay_]

[Bedford126]

Done a amazing fix to my rear beam using hardened steel sleeves and roller bearings. :y:

Fully mot prepped the car.

[tom_vts16v]

[Cam]

For once nothing accept the normal weekly checks before a week of work.

But i ordered new group N engine mounts.

[Yasuraka]

Should wash it, it's covered in motorway/snow/ gritter jizz. Too cold and it'll be like I never bothered first day back at work. Instead I removed my stereo and satnav to make room for an AVIC-F930BT which should come today.

If it doesn't then I have a gaping hole in my dash!
