  • Picked up the new VRS: 2013 Fabia VRS by Graeme_Smith, on Flickr

  • Popped to the garage at lunchtime to swap coolant temp sensor. I don't think it's the problem but it can't hurt. Going to swap O2 sensor later for the spare I have. Went well, all sorted in 5 mins. T

  • modified the cup holder     It's now a hobnob holder

Bargain :)

Uninsured it and stuck in my man cave for some maintenance.

Two shiny cars there Mike :thumbup:

Got 2 new black bolts for the headlights

Sent from my Galaxy S5

Fitted interior LEDs, including glovebox and boot light. Was going to fit number plate LEDs but they broke as I was fitting them  :wall: , so new ones ordered.

Done yesterday...... Removed both tax discs from the cars.... The vRS had only got a DVLA temporary tax disc anyway. :)

Might remove mine at the weekend and give the screen a good clean.

 

Anyone got recommendations for removing fine scratches from the wiper blades please, not cleaning my car for some time as left marks :(

Removed the tax disc holder and dealer sticker. Then hoovered and washed topped of by a coat of Optishine

Sent from my Galaxy S5

Called in at the dealer and picked up the Octy phone holder they had ordered in for me... Cheapest i had seen them on eBay was £10 going up to £20. 

 

Price paid at the dealer???? £6.40!!!

 

 

Anyhow fits a treat in the Superb and holds the iPhone fine.... Although i think it would be too small for an iPhone 6.

Took the tax disk out. Other than that, same old trip to work.

Mk2 had its MOT and passed and took out both tax discs.

Sold it !!!

Took it to the dealer to get track rod arms replaced under warranty. Also fitted LEDs to the number plate lights (2nd set, 1st set broke as I was fitting them, buy cheap buy twice).

Took the tax disc out, yesterday actually.

What's the story with track rod ends and warranty ?

Fitted the bonnet strut and rear bumper protector

Filled the boot with my dads spare set of wheels now shod with Nokian A3 winter tyres. Took them back to his place and put them on the wheel tree I got him off eBay.

It really is quite frightening just how quickly winter seems to be on the horizon once again, isn't it?

Gave both sets of my winter wheels a good clean today, next job is check the pressures in them (another day!)

SWMBO said we better get some real snow this year so she can properly test the Nokian D3s we got last year.

Are winter tyres worth the money?? Or should i stick with snow socks??
