nice one

New wishbones, steering rack, track rod ends and bushes all done, also done power steering fluid and gearbox oil change along with 4 wheel alignment.

next on my list is stage 1 map, new windscreen, front bumper and o/s rear door repainted

_________________

Recently had gearbox issues, with the input shaft crapped out, meaning its cutting into the new clutch. To get the box recond is going to be about £700 + labour costs so given that and what ive spent on it recently ive actually decided not to continue with this anymore, so yesterday i bought a new (to me) car

From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

Undecided what to do with the leon right now. Plan is to put it back to standard and make money off the parts and sell the car or break the complete thing, which i dont really want to do.

New car is a 2007 E90 330D M sport, Moves very well and got an average of 47MPG coming into work today. Ill get pics on the weekend after a clean and post full information and plans. I did just found out though that they can be mapped to 280-300BHP on standard clutch

and still only £140 a year tax

Been doing a little work on the Leon recently prepping it for sale.

Removed all the stealth edition decals, Put standard front and rear calipers on and painted them hammerite red along with new Pagid discs and pads all round. New Bosch Aero wiper blades. Ordered a new OEM Sachs clutch and DMF so i can remove the stage 2 Sachs clutch & SMF thats in there.

a few jobs left to do:

• Fit Standard Airbox & air intake & paper air filter
• Black LCR Drivers A Pillar
• 4 x Part Worn 225\40\18 Tyres
• O/S Drive Shaft
• Fit new clutch and Recon \ Replacing Gearbox
• Alloy Wheel center caps

Might extended the tax and mot on it, so its got a year on both to help sell it. The more i do the more money iam losing really, but id sooner sell it knowing its a good car as apposed to maximizing my profits and selling the problems on to someone else.
