Fitted a replacement electric window motor in my drivers door (Thanks MB Developments).


Only after it stopped working did I realize just how much I hate driving without having my window open.

Not today, but this whole week ive been collecting service parts.

Oil and filter and sump washer
Diff oil and washer
Gearbox oil and washer
Spark plugs
Brake fluid
Pollen filter fuel filter
Anti-freeze change
washer fluid top up

Last night i removed the spoiler to check for the common rust around the boot lid to spoiler join. Now to rust proof and spray the boot lid. Clean the underside of the spoiler and re-fit.

After painting im getting my map looked at. Probably get the service done first even though its not needed as my car had its last service 3k miles ago

Put in mat clips to keep the foot mat in place, which are excellent for £2.50 and hold the mat firmly in place. Was driving me nuts constantly putting the thing back in place.

Bit of prep on the Bug for winter. 4 new tyres, fluids, coilovers, new seals on rear diff as they can take a beating in winter, cam belt/tensioner, water pump etc. New rocker cover gaskets & RCM half moons, thermostat. Went in yesterday, finished later on today, technically though I’ve not done it! I’ve just paid to have it done 😂. Ready for snow though so best not be disappointed this year!!!!!

I lied they were £3.69 delivered.

You'll have to put 2 wholes in your mat if it doesn't have a pre made fix point, but the clips are sound and work really well for the money.

Thanks both. I have the version Don shows on the left (old) but it doesn't hold the mat very well. I still have to move it back on to the clip everytime I get in the car!

Hi. Yes did them myself. As they are aluminium. I used 3 coats of etch primer, then used this red in VHT. Clear VHT lacquer is yet to be applied once I paint the AP logo in white. All seals ad pistons are being replaced. Are you thinking of doing yours ?

Got the alloys refurbished too. Will compliment the Calipers nicely.

I always thought the poweercoat finish wasnt as good as paint, but yours looks very good. Where was it done?

Was thinking you could paint my calipers. Help you pay for the club subscription

Will be a tad more than a years subscription if I was to do your Calipers. Lol. Got some VHT paint here to sell if you want to have a crack yourself. Bought one too many. Same as this paint being used in this video
