Just fitted my poly bushed dogbone mount. Would have been a 10 minute job if it wasn't for one of the bolts that hold it to the subframe snapping on me. So annoying can't even give it some welly to try it out invade the other one snaps.

I had to drill mine a little bit till I could force a screwdriver in there and twist the bloody thing out, right pita and it was raining.

Fitted a new alternator pulley solving woeful power steering vibration.

Snapped a jaw off the open end of my spanner in the process. Modified tool to accept the ring end instead.

Found out how much of a pain in the arse it is to remove the third brake light from the spoiler.

so over the last few days I've fitted a set of coilovers and looks a lot lower but still not as low as I want. Im knocking the anti roll bar at the min so im looking to get a bigger looped one with maybe some adjustable droplinks.

from my RR

did a bit more as its a bank holiday weekend

yesterday i started a little project






and i had some help from the GF








Did one more coat on the front this morning then moved on the the rear,
i think its ok to support the rear like this :shrug:




the rears were caked in years of dust








but nothing a dremel couldnt fix








then broke out my secret weapon, the GF






and had the rears done in no time






then noticed this pipe, couldn't think what it was at first, but now i think its the fuel overflow pipe from the drain port under the fuel flap






now i have to let them sit for 24 hours before i can drive the car [:@]:censored:

Think I found and fixed my coolant leak yesterday. The pipe that the coolant temp sensor fits into was all wet, found my old non-green sensor in a wee box in the garage along with another retaining clip and o-ring so replaced the clip and ring on the car with those, dried it all up and went round the block. Doesn't seem to have leaked any more, will take it out for a proper run tonight and check it again on return.
