What did you and your MK2 do today?

Funny you mention stubby ariel.
I have literally just fitted mine 10 mins ago. 5 min job to do, unscrewed it and pulled it out. Screwed the stubby in. Reception is just as good as standard but looks a lot better for £3!
So fitted some Samsung LED sidelight bulbs.

Nice one. Ive not had the pleasure of removing door cards but it seems a four hand job from what I read!

Had my mate with me so it wasn't too bad, the two bolts that hold the module in are a spline type though (thought it was all torx) so had to borrow the right tool from another mate.

I think I need to investigate behind the Kenny headunit and then under the roof lining - there has to be a dodgy connection as I cant accept the reception is as good as it gets. Which one did you go for? Mine has a carbon insert, I sent back the first one coz it was all cracked, but Kebabwarrior passed me his old one to try out when he got a different one.

Ah hate when that happens!! Usually would involve a trip out for me!

Check the 'stubby ariel' thread in this section. Someone posted a link from eBay.

Got my car back from the body shop today, damage to the bumper and wing has been fixed perfectly. However when I got home I realised that all my alloys are now Matt black with run marks on them??? Phoned up and they confirmed that they cleaned my car so I have to take the car back in for them to have a look at on Monday...... Nightmare!!

Must be something wrong there then mate if it was a bad signal with the stock one and the stubby.

Didn't have any issues with mine and would say the one I gave you was as good a signal as the original

Only time it would go bad was at work going near the runway but again it did that with the original and still does it with what I have fitted now..

Spent the last hour and a half trying to sort a fuel leak on the fuel filter housing.

Was supposed to be driving to London for the play-off final tomorrow.

Car won't be going anywhere...

Did you fit the new oring that came with the filter? I did that one the first fuel filter i changed and it let diesel out of the top. Had to go back to the original oring.

The splitter or the cam follower? Both were fairly easy. The splitter I jacked the car up and put on axle stands then chocked the splitter in position and drilled the holes and fitted the bolts supplied with it. The cam follower was easy enough aswell removed 2 connectors released excess fuel into a rag, removed bottom pipe leading to pump then 3 bolts on the housing, pump comes off the old cam follower out new one in and reverse order for refitting.
