Yeah, Irish engines are so efficient.

I have a Chinese head unit I got from eBay for €23 brand new including delivery.
It's extremely light for some reason. It doesn't play CD's but USB and AUX ports is all I need. The build quality is quite poor and it heats up a lot, but still works and luckily the colour of the lights matches perfectly with Bora's interior.0 -

...And can you confirm the existing Bora head unit was still functioning when you removed it from the car? 0 -

Done a few bits today. NCT is on Saturday.
There was a loud noise from the blower whenever you turned it on. Sounded like a leaf... there's a pun in that somewhere :pac:.
Changed out the mouldy fuel filter
Gave it a first 3 hour pass inside and out.
Still more to do. It comes of with a good scrub of a green pad but I'll do it with the wheels off. Plan is to take the centre caps out then and paint them too.
Could do with a buff.
Cleaned all the dash and inside glass so they're no longer a health hazard. Have to go now and get some cleaner for the seats.0 -

Do you have a fire extinguisher in the car?0 -

What you're seeing there is iron contamination from the brake pads. You need to get Iron Cleanse from detailingshed.com to safely remove that.
Cheers, it did cross my mind that it would scratch the wheels a bit. I'll pick some of that up next week. Wasn't particularly looking forward to scrubing them anyway
. I just used an alloy wheel cleaner and a power hose earlier. It took everything off bar the caked on iron. 0 -

Today I bought a polybush kit for the 156, Hel braided lines for the gtv, brimmed it with petrol and taxed her for another three months....I feel poor now
Although I can't wait to fit the braided lines, have new pagid disks lying in the shed to go on with the ebc greenstuff pads. Can put the brake upgrades to one side to next year then, once fitted. 0 -
List for the focus which will be done over the next few weeks.
ST 17" alloys
ST front fogs (loom and switch for fogs as well)
New reg plates
Maybe mesh for lower front grille, unsure about that one
Clear side repeaters
OEM Ford Radio
Cigarette light/cover for front and rear
Front drivers arch cover (existing is cracked and a big chunk gone)
Glove box handle
Boot mat (some eejit cut a piece of material to size and used it as a mat :rolleyes:)
Set of fitted mats
tddi badge for back
They are mostly minor cosmetic things, a lot of which will be gotten in a breakers. 0 -

Thought about it, but is it really worth it? No plans to take the engine out or anything major......0 -
