Payday Friday

Proposed Plans :lol:

On the look out for 2 window winders as i broke one of mine :hsugh:

Manifold blow is getting quite bad now, i think that a new gasket is a priority now, its annoying :cry:

(may just get an ashley manifold as that would be new and less hassle with blows i hope)

Should be getting front arches done (paints come off), bonnet and front valance repainted, and hopefully a touch up on the back of the roof where the paint has come off :cry:

Still want a cam :halo:

Wiper blades are shot so need replacing (have been for 3 months now!)

Service time soon as well (hoping rob can nick me some castrol from his work :lol:

) as it was done at 92500, and its just passed 98000!

Rear wiper has stopped working so needs investigating (or removing :lol:

)

Rear lights have a slight christmas tree effect going on while indicating with the lights on, so that will need looking at aswell

By the looks of things, the cams going to take a back bench role for now, seems more like a TLC month! :rolleyes:

Found a set of alloys i want, but they are 305 miles away so thats going to be not done! (15" softline 7 spoke alloys) :rolleyes:

(why can't anything be local?)

so a few little niggles, which is a first for the car really, had to happen at some point, being 22 in january! (the car not me

)

Yeah i am going to investigate

i hope its nothing major

Although at lunch i was moving a wire in the plug for the rear lights and it stopped doing it, but it goes loose and goes back to it so i'm assuming its this wire :squint:

Yeah i agree

plus the manifold blow is reali starting to feck me off :squint:

I want to keep it regularly maintained as well 8-)

A 106 Gti (driven by a chav i may add: lexus lights :doh:

) started on me at the lights on the way to mcds at lunchtime, i was like :rolleyes:

and left him to it, and he razzed off and i was like ooh you made a massive point there :iagree:

so out of all i want to do, the main things for this month must be:

1: The bits of bodywork, i just fret about rust :cry:

2: Service

3: Wiper Blades (long time in waiting)
4: Lighting issues
5: Rear Wiper Issue

Plus keep it clean more in this weather, remove the road crap off it 8-)

yea people like that make me :lol:

have they nothing better to do? Passat TDI's do the same, look at the badge and assume i want a race :rolleyes:

I will back you up with the clutch cable :hsugh:

Thanks, just trying to make it nice

Bodywork should be in a week or so as i have the first week of november off 8-)

Going to sacrifice the money i had saved for a cam for the bodywork.

Rob reckons it will look patchy :rolleyes:

but most of it you won't see, and the bonnet is chipped up and most the work is going on under it :lol:

And i need the arches done as ford exposed metal is a sure runner for rust :cry:

I would like a uprated oil pump to stop the "tap tap tap tap" but thats a sump off job :hmm:

it is on a fixed timescale, you cant turn it off yourself, it goes off when its done (in its eyes :lol:

)

But a free fix is a good fix in my book :lol:
