fitted osram nightbreaker unlimted bulbs a bit sceptial at first but have made a difference in a good way:)
 
Changed near side drop link. Quite a shock as it was a straight forward job, no hassle and took little time. The bitch is nice and quiet now, no knocking when going over bumps and a big improvement in driving.

I thought about washing all the crud and dried up salt off mine. As it was friggin' Baltic outside I went and lay down for half and hour until the urge passed,.
 
Against my ethos, but have a rusted out HSE that I bought for the trim and goodies. It has no prop and a seized pinion on the IRD HOWEVER, the engine and box with recent clutch and DMF are good. Around 115k.



Anyone interested please PM me. Colour Silver. 2004 model. Doors etc good too.

thanks. Hate waste !!!

Saw this for sale on Facebook. Is this a record mileage for a 1.8 K series ?!?!
That's got to be up there hasn’t it. Over 300k of any vehicle is doing well, especially so with the hard working k series. I'm thinking it's had an engine change or 2 maybe?
 
Turbo vacuum pipe. This was actually a good point in this video:

Checked mine and the fabric around the pipe has lot's of tears in multiple points - it has done it's job. Turbo works as it should be so the pipe itself is propably fine still. Could be a good idea to replace the pipe sometime. I don't think I will reroute it though.
