Nothing major or adventurous!

Clean up the two prongs on the coolant header tank to see if it stops the coolant temp warning light on startup

Go around with the touch up stick

Give the car a good detail, including claying

Source and fit an OEM Stream MP3 unit (or better) to replace the aftermarket Blaupunkt the previous owner fitted

Brake cleaner worked very well on SWMBO's header tank (assuming its 'gunk'/mayo that you are trying to clean out).

Nothing.

Really.. nothing at at all. Everything I wanted to do with this car i've done already.

.. i think. :p

Only thing left now then is to change it again

In no particular order:

1. Get some Eagle F1 AS2's fitted to the rear of the car (currently have them on front) - I hate the Dunlop Maxx one's that were on there I bought, can feel that they don't grip well and one of the worst rated tyres on TyreReviews!

2. Fit new gearknob - thanks to a forum member here for sending me one!

3. Sort out the stone chips on the front

4. Get my brake pads checked out as when the brakes are hot, they are making the most irritating squeal noise when braking at low speeds!

Edited 14 May, 201313 yr by Wardy-

Only thing left now then is to change it again

Yeah, you're not wrong

I'll probably do the grille gloss black to match the mirrors, AKS/44DD shifter bushes when Alex gets some kit into stock, and a k04 when my numbers come up (or more likely stage 1 and pre-cat removal when my warranty has expired).

Well, having owned the Octy for 2 weeks............and In no particular order....

1. 4 Decent tyres (2 on order for Friday - woop!)

2. Clutch & DMF (Darkside I imagine)

3. Powerflex bushes everywhere!

4. Weitecs

5. Remap

6. N/S washer nozzle

7. Tasmanian Devil Tax Disc Holder (surprisingly hard to come by...)

8. New windscreen & therefore DAB aerial thanks to a Transit on the M4 the other day

9. De-chromed (black) grille (thoughts?)

10. See my man and get auto-lock & lock beep turned on

11. Replacement drivers door card

12. New Air-Con compressor & re-gas

13. Tracking

14. Re-paint spoiler

...................got a new house last week too.
