but my car looks good 2!! 
Well i noticed few weeks ago that my temperature gauge was falling and rising when driving up or down hills *very strange* 
so did a search on here and ended up changing my temp sensor and while i was there replacing one of the strip lights i have on the front of my car.
hoping this would sort the problem, old one out and the new green on in!! but nooooooo luck sooooooo had a go at changing the thermostat my self in a cold hanger after work..... much better than been outside like the first pic lol
New thermostat... at the ready!! *thanks dave*
First problem i had and was starting to piss me off was getting this plastic black cover off!!
So called in some special tools lol
As you can see quite a mess i dont think they had ever been out the car from when they were first put in and ever time i tryed to undo them they started to brake up

Hi Richard,
Glad the car is back to a full bill of health now.
I hope you don't plan on washing your car in shorts... Role on spring!
What made you change to a Jetex cone from the K&N.? Just for performance or has the K&N seen better days?
James.

lol me to, just need to change the anti-roll bar bushes when its little warmer outside maybe little cold out just in my shorts again!! lol
i have had K&N before and always be a good fliter, but alot of people on here really rate the Jetex and with Bill from Bandger 5 doing a good price wanted to try something new.
you seem little shocked tho,
like i was not good for santa claus *he's a good kid* lol
Next on the list is new front wishbone/cast arm bushes and anti-roll bar bushes… was looking at powerflex but never going to track my car sooooo will just stick with the standard bushes, all booked in for next week,
And just waiting on my jetex induction kit will pop some pictures up when it arrives
