What did you and your MK2 do today?

[CRNeo]

Parked up at home went back to the car 30mins later to this...

So yeah I have no spare wheel and turns out also no jack or wheel brace.

After a visit to a mate came back with a jack and an 18" spare wheel from a golf gti, should get me to the garage to repair it tomorrow

Probably the only time I'll rock 18s lol

Had my DPF gutted and a remap done. Fitted some phillips diamond vision bulbs too

noticed you're fairly local, where did you got for DPF gutting?

Not mine but my brothers MK2 FR was stolen off his drive last night/early morning. Thieves somehow got the keys through the letterbox.

CK08GVO is the reg, if anyone around Middlesbrough/Teesside has seen it, not that he'll want it back.

Whats the waiting time on a triple r, might order when I get home from work.

Have a cupra 08 and rear door wont open when unlocking with key. Only opens from inside so collecting a rear passenger door lock mechanism and hoping this fixes the issue!

Bought some engine oil & rear discs and pads from ECP using their 31% off offer.

Rear brakes need doing desperately as they haven't been changed in around 4 years...

A place called md automotive in crosshills. Good price and quick service. I had a look at some of his work beforehand and have heard good things from quite a few people.

Not today but last night I had a drive of a 335i estate the bi-turbo model with 306bhp standard. This one was mapped to around 370-380bhp. Was very impressive I have to say.

Making me want a change of cars haha......I definitely need petrol in my life again.

On another note I've just taken receipt of a Citroen Cactus as a hire car for my drive back from Weymouth. Swapped the Renault Trafic van I had off Enterprise.

Yeah it went very well indeed, just would of liked a longer stretch of road to see what it could really do haha.

I think I would end up the same after a year or so as the wife wants a baby in the next year or so....

I would just like something a little more tune-able than the FR.

Also got them to put a bit of paint on the instrument suround

What happened here?

 

[CRNeo]

I took all my wheels off removed the crap centres, cleaned all the insides of the wheels up only to realise then I'd bought the wrong size wheel centres to replace them

Had a bit of an issue with another car wanting to be where I was so they drove into the side of me, it wasn't too bad and is all sorted now.

Changed the rear discs and pads today.

They certainly needed it as there was nothing on the pads and the discs were rusted to bits. First side took ages as the disc was stuck on the hub, but the second side was done in 30 mins.

Also topped the oil up as it was getting a little low.

I could do with a new locking wheel nut as it has seen better days.
