Absolutely, this was out of character ? behaviour - appreciate your concern.... Oddly enough it was a four day trackday trip to Spa and a shared drive - roof down all the way and by sitting in the passenger seat for a few road stints I had time to realise it was all looking a bit meh - you know grubby/uncared for rather than daily driver/track "patina". First time in 11 years of ownership that the leather on the dashboard and door cards got a clean beyond a wipe over with a damp cloth and then another first - I treated all the leather with conditioner. Arguably the driver's seat needs some "out of the car" attention to make it 100%. I won't be straying to Detailing World nor is the car going to be bothering a spray booth anytime soon - normal service is resumed - as you were.

Eddy555 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Changed the drivers side windows regulator and it now drops the correct amount when opening the door (Hallelujah) and finally changed the fuel filter. To me it looked to be the original item, so that was worth doing and not too tricky to change thankfully. Then took her for a razz around the local country lanes to give her a bit of exercise.

I ran the engine and then took out the fuel pump fuse to try and get rid of most of the fuel in the line. Wasn't too bad a caught most of the spill in my oil drain pan.

DanMumford Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Finished fitting my new front and rear dash cam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1max Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 @megapixelmike534@gmail.com; thanks very much! Did you attach it to the car at all? Today I completely dismantled and reassembled my PCM 2 unit to fix a problem I was having with the screen and CD drive. I managed to fix the screen, but not sure the CD drive is quite how it should be (though I will miss that less!). It's good enough to postpone the soundsystem replacement for a bit longer!

On the side of the wind deflector, it's slightly offset but still gives a good view with the roof up and down! I routed the cable around the roll bars and down the firewall, along the passenger side (under the carpet) under the dash and back up via the passenger pillar, along the roof edge and back in to the plug on the front camera! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
