What have you done to your Non Skoda today?

 

I'll kick this off with me adding sill protectors to my MK6 Fiesta.

    I didn't do it, but I'm very excited to see my quattro with primer on it at last  

  • Put a radiator back in it! Then warmed it up to test it didn't blow up everywhere, and turned it 'round. Five minutes of hard work, driving the big lump around a cherry-picker; involving 2 three-point

Clio - replaced a spring seat that had worn through and started knocking, gave it a good hammering, all good

Golf Convertible.  Took three of the wheels off cleaned then thoroughly, sealed with poor boys and then finished them off with Sonax BSD.  The fourth wheel I hear you ask?  No matter what I tried it would not come off and in fact I was closer to pulling the car off the jack!  I suspect it hasn't been off much in it's three years.  Cleaned what I could while it was on.

Well.. this isn't so much a car any more as a garden "ornament"

 

I'm stripping this for parts to use for my ur quattro and hopefully make a bit of cash back from the parts that I can't use.

Put two new wipers on the mx5

Cleaned out the scuttle area on my Polo. Fair amount of crud built up in there.

Exciting. Not.

Fixed a squeak in the headlining of the Civic - been bugging me for ages intermittently (seemed to be temperature dependant) but turned out to be a plastic windscreen alignment clip that had come away from the screen and was rubbing against it.  Took a screwdriver to it and managed to free it off completely...

Thread revival! (OK not an epic one)

 

I had a leak on the blue Fiesta resulting in a very wet passenger foot well. Yesterday I took off the scuttle panel, cleared out all the rubbish from the scuttle drain and resealed the seal between the scuttle panel and windscreen, which had failed. We had lots of rain last night and the foot well wasn't any wetter so I think I've fixed it.

 

However today, we went out in said Fiesta, within 500 yards the GF said it didn't sound right. Sure enough it was misfiring! Turns out I'd be over exuberant with the hose pipe when finding the source of the leak, and there was water around the spark plugs :( Anyway, having dried the water up, it is now back to working happily :)

Stuck a light bar on the front of the pajero off Roader.

Drove my Polo to Ashford from home and return. Felt amazing after driving a 16 year old ambulance for an St John Ambulance assessment!

rode along footpaths and into the town pedestrian centre on my Rascal Taxi 3, then took the battery out of the rear of my Skoda  and put it on charge.

CRX Del Sol - re greased the TransTop riser threads and the tilter unit rubber pad ready for Summer :sun:

Just loaded it up with tools and posts

looked at a new back box for the MX-5. Needs more noise but the exisitng exhaust is only 3000 miles old and really fancy the RF when it is released next year so is it worth spending the money now?

Put diesel in it.

Thought there was a scratch on my 3 series, turns out it was some dirt! :p

 

Oh and I left it at home....jumped on the mountain bike and rode to work today (Like I do most days). :angel:

Summer wheels and tyres back on (Passat)

Lexus CT200h

Set up all the head unit settings to my liking after just picking up the car.

Trying to get used to driving a hybrid car economically. Not bad so far.

Need to change the number plates as I don't like advertising companies.

Put a radiator back in it! Then warmed it up to test it didn't blow up everywhere, and turned it 'round. Five minutes of hard work, driving the big lump around a cherry-picker; involving 2 three-point turns with no power steering, on incredibly soft 9.00x20s... Worked up a proper sweat.

Wiped some little speckles of bird poo off of my non skoda.

Which brings up one of the greatest philosophical questions of the modern era...... Why do birds always seem to target with great precision a freshly washed automobile?

Gave it a wash after realising that White is a nightmare colour.

...not as bad as black though.

True. Mines Artic Pearl and changes colour at different angles. Nice but looks dirty in places. Eager to get some wax and Sonax on it soon.
