Took it for a spin just to drive down the road with the windows open and air it out. Condensation that cheap glue from Wilkos don’t half hold the headlining up, hasn’t moved an iota! Best stuff so far

@Salisbury Nick if you do it again let me know, I was not far from
Builth at the time

Get yourself on LZIR!

What make was the OE battery in a 2000 P38 diesel? The one I replaced was a Lucas, just wondering if it was the original from new. No real reason, just curious.

LOL. When I was about 15 I took a motorbike gearbox apart to see exactly how it worked. Ended up getting a replacement from a scrapper.

What I found was that Yamaha FS1E gearboxes are too small for all the bits to fit into. Some kind of Tardis effect going on, methinks.

Hmmm, after the wet passenger footwell and degraded sponge for the heater intake, decided to do this!!

After remembering our @Datatek mentioning this repair, I thought I'd follow suit.

OK, it's a little suburu impreza but being aluminum it's really easy to use.

And a humdinger I'm thinking...

You say "... Imprezza"... I say "Imprezzive"! Is it straightforward to do it?

I sprayed mine matt black before fitting so it doesn't show.
Slightly different material also.
