Clutch pedal was making a squeek - sprayed a bit of lithium grease on the spring behind the pedal - she is quiet now.

Bought 3 months road tax.

1st coat. Using hubcaps for the next day or two til everything's sorted. Black spokes, don't know whether to do red or white on the inside for something different. Will probably end up just doing it black! So far so good.

So driving down the M1 today, when all of a sudden no power off at the Collon exit, checked the filter, checked the pipework.....

Well bollox to this! :rolleyes:


Now that was some interesting drive home in a car with about 50bhp apologies to anyone behind, I was leaving a huge smoke trail

Conveniently I pulled a Xantia one out of my arse and made it fit


Back to normal folks :cool:

Today I left my car in to get the gear box checked out. It has been sounding like a daysul for the past few weeks. I think it's bearings / shafts.

White on inside then gave the black a second coat. Came out like a cool ghost effect, hard to get a good picture! Will laquer later. Also got the mudflaps they're a bollox to get on will have a good mess around in a few with them

.. Got her back (yay!!)

Maybe it's a week of driving a 1.8 Mercedes C180, but she seems a lot more responsive and snappy this evening. Flicking through the trip computer also shows a log of 7.3l/100? I've never gotten it down to that anyway

More rocker cover clean up and painting:

Before (actually alot worse in person than looks, most paint powdery and flaking off in white lumps)


Coated in Black


Painted in M Colours

Well, unfortunately Le Mas and Summer are a long time ago now, so it was out with the hairdryer, elbow grease and cleaning product. I'm both happy and very, very sad:(

Le Mans trim....


Regular trim....

Finally got around to doing the red transparency mod on the dash clocks (just waiting for darkness for some pics)

While the clocks are out I changed the full dip bulb to a blue LED - I always thought the bulb was a bit of the dim side and hard to see sometimes - probably not wise to change any of the other bulbs though!

Got some #74 bulbs from fleabay (used the blue one)

It's an alfa......:pac:


Car stopped, Pressed in handbrake button, pulled up slow enough and heard a crack.
Next thing handbrake is higher that its ever been before.
I only ever use it for parking, but leaving it in gear on the flat, or up against a kerb will be fine for the moment.

It's too low to get under without a proper trolley jack. There's no way in getting under it with the jack stands I have.

Whats really annoying is in my car the handbrake doesnt activate when driving, so I can't do handbrake turns (I tried). All that happens is an alert telling me that Park is not selected!

Bit of sand and a sweeping brush should sort it.

I was doing handbrake turns in my bangernomics Accord in my mates yard the other night, some car, I've thrown a serious amount of abuse at it (including a trackday!!) and it hasn't missed a beat. A wheel baring is starting whine but a trackday plus lots of handbrake turns will do that lol

Fitted some 12 pound parking sensors from Amazon to my Punto. Will do the job, Punto has plenty of space to make work and messing around easy.

Also dropped the oil and put a new oil and air filter.

Last weekend the i30 had all the attention. Two FR anti roll bar links who were quite difficult to get to without lifting the wishbone up while on the floor, and replaced the FR brake discs and pads.

Next weekend fit parking sensors to the i30 as the Punto layed down the foundation
