Looks pretty good, I'm not sure how to 'characterise' my bay yet, was thinking possible yellow inlet mani, polished cam cover, yellow hoses (as many as I can afford) maybe a coil pack cover, or I might copy your old idea

Drove it a bit hard on the expressway & I think it went into limp mode. So thinking about cleaning the turbo with that innotec stuff, when I've got the time.

 

[Mattyboy1]

Just fitted my led sidelight bulbs and ordered some new anti roll bar link arms and anti roll bar bushes. Hoping to get it 4 wheel aligned the weekend.

 

[kr1s77]

Changed the pollen filter and took off tge engibe to looj at tge turbo location. The engine cover lining was coming away so I didn't put it back on. Spotted the turbo, not sure how im gonna get to clean it, access looks limited lol.

If it's a spray remove the rubber slightly of the maf, after the maf, then spray it in.
Never used so guessing this is the correct way.

I miss the green certificates though, a piece of boring A4 paper does not have the same visual effect.
