Was thinking the same for my Predator rims, can they be dipped to strip them back to bare metal, don't mind repainting them myself.

Ha ha bugger off!! :p no just thought I'd fire it up everyday till it's collected, make sure it's still works lol.
Aye I've got first refusal on a Disco but it's standard so dunno if I'll have the cash to do much with it till the summer. Just bought a new daily too so the Golf's up for sale.

Love to, as long as whoever I go with is willing to pick me up from Brighton lol.
 
So, had a good day today getting bits done! Red is completed, black still to do!

1. Oil change throughout. Engine, Box, TX Box, Axles
2. Headlight swap to 200tdi
3. Prop swap for a 200tdi one
4. Boot floor cut out and new one fitted
5. Rear Wiper replacement
6. Head Unit swap
7. Fit Swivel Shackels onto the winch bumper
8. Rock Sliders - try and fit them somehow
9. Purchase Light Bar and Lights
10. Bush Wires fitting
11. Steering Guard fitting
12. Fix the all-of-a-sudden-non functioning heater fan!


Thanks again to Mr T for the assistance when needed as per usual!
Found my severe wobble at 50mph, turned out to be about a kilo of mud on the inside of the wheel, so now its somewhat smoother but realised how low my pads were. Another job for tomorrow!
And the fans fixed due to my stupidity! When the indicators shorted the other night and blew the fuse, i took one from the spare ones in the fusebox. As it turned out i took one from the non spares lol All sorted now!

So when you take the air ram off and cover the air inlet should the engine at least hesitate? :eek: :eek:

I've made a right mess of the wing and snorkel, Tigerseal everywhere. Will test again tomorrow and if no improvement, I'll be giving deep water a mis :(
