Replace front and rear discs, pads, slider-pins, rubbers, clips.

 

Fabulous transition, the steering wheel judder and shakes have gone, like driving a brand new car :)

Fitted, new MAF Sensor on Thursday evening which, thankfully, resolved my bogging down issue. Managed to get a genuine, new Denso for £50.

Fitted stock airbox (with Butterfly valve) made up the missing part with some tube and t-pieces I ordered. Still had the 1 way valve on the car. I have no idea if it actually goes better, I didn't really notice much if any drop off with my Blitz Carbon WAI and what I think might be an improvement might just be down to perception from driving with a faulty MAF sensor for the last 2 or 3 weeks.

 

Waiting on new another stock air box to arrive, which will hopefully join some of the engine plastics on a trip to BRD for some hydro dipping.

 

Then, get rid of my tatty old, 3m Psychedelic, wrap for some more refrained.

I'm thinking

Holy thread revival:

 

Today I changed the rear wiper blade on my Gen 5. I can confirm that these are 20" blades. There's some conflicting info "out there". The old one was also 20".

Todays task, Took car for MOT, passed. (with a couple of advisories).

Fitted wheel spacers to see how wheels sit  (certainly needs lowering now) Started investigating an auto box issue I may have.

Started pricing up for MOT advisories (rear shock & all springs replacement) to add to the list of parts already sorted for brake and suspension rebuild

Re-Waterproofed the roof.

Play spot the difference!  :lol:

 

Purchased new backplates, drum brake blocks and new springs set, and new wheel bearings over two years ago so about time i had them fitted!

 

On the way home the cabin noise is noticeably quieter, wasn't sure if new bearings would improve this and it has, not hugely but definitely noticeable B)

My Gen6 SR is going for her MOT today after being off road for 13 years (yes, 13 - not a typo). Hubby has spent the last year or so (not continuously) getting her back in shape and ready. Hopefully soon be back on the road :D
