April 27, 201510 yr Author Haha yeah been following some old duffer doing 40 single lane for about 10 miles in Nat limit, came to roundabout knew he was in wrong lane on exit hoofed it 4k hit 1.2bar then nothing then back on, cars only mapped to 1.1 Wasn't too bad as there was no one else around and as soon as it happend I knew what was going on, no dash warning lights so knew it couldn't be that bad [emoji51]
April 27, 201510 yr My legacy was making strange noises this morning when i started the engine. Sounded like something was rubbing or like the belt rubbing or something? It was 3degrees so a bit cold. It only did it a few times and it was when i was pulling off in 1st., then once or twice as i started the car at 3pm this afternoon. Any ideas? An odd noise can be a little worrying lol.
April 27, 201510 yr gave the first Wax coat of the year last night. Angel Wax Desirable - smells lovely. Then used AngelWax http://www.angelwax.co.uk/?wpsc-product=luminosity-qed on my matt wrap roof.
April 30, 201510 yr 5 inch big bore fitted and had Windows tinted starting to look better [emoji106] [emoji108]
April 30, 201510 yr Went to Halfrauds, bought some meguiars bits as they're still 3 for 2. Bought some wiper blades for the wife's XV as she couldn't see a darn thing but said they'd be ok for a bit. Used my owners club discount card which caused the usual shenanigans. Got there in the end [emoji39] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

April 30, 201510 yr where'd you get the windows tinted mate? have they done a good job? have you got any pictures? how much did it cost? have you told your insurance? lol cant think of any more questions atm hahaYou never asked what tint I got ;) I got them done at MAS in stokesley, it looks good so far but he said it was about 4-5 says before it had dried properly. I haven't told my insurance I don't see the point it's only film and I will eventually get round to it for the exhaust [emoji14] :D it cost £120 for the rest and £60 for the front.
May 1, 201510 yr Author From this To this Nothing major just to bring it more in line with rest of the car
May 1, 201510 yr Spoiler is a bit of a ****** to fit, two holes line up but other two don't... Just off to the side by 1cm. So have to alter it slightly. Also wiring comes out in a silly place, will get a pic tomorrow. Brake calipers are off, just need stripping now. Got a new seal kit and some blue caliper paint, should look nicer with them done. Got wheel nuts for it but they don't fit... Turns out my studs are thicker with them being group N studs. So ordered some more nuts. On a side note... I now have a set of blue wheel nuts for sale, new. Size M12 x 1.25. Will be listing stuff for sale next week once car is on the road, just things like window regs, glass, alloys (3 of them) and a set of part worn 17" Avon ZV5. Cant believe I nearly scrapped it, the car looks lovely. Has a couple of dents but compared to what it was like... Massive improvement.

Got there in the end [emoji39] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I picked some wiper blade pack up for the wifes Focus the other week.. Halfords own brand.. no price on the box so I went back to the rail to check.. £36!!!!! so i put them back! got on the ebay app on the phone... fronts and rear blade for a 2005 Focus delivered just under £10 as the 'seller' had 10% off. came in two days! work a treat :) How can halfords charge £36 just to put them in a Halford box? The Bosh ones were even more!!!!
May 3, 201510 yr I've done this this week too.... Tyre Bomb Sticker stencil clean any tyre dressing off with meths carefully apply tape/mask up well Stainblocked it forst, as the stuff will stop the rubber staining the white gloss.. plus it doesn't seem to want to come off anything you put it on. Acrylic White gloss paint, just a couple of light wafts allow to dry then remove carefully the vinyl cut stencil I'm only showing you one...... the best effort one! So now waiting to clean the car and hopefully jet wash them off... as I think it'll come off like that. lol But I do like the F1/rall/ race car style lettering on tyres... is there a brand that does it from new??
