I had a problem with the centre belt in my Skoda leading to MOT failure and that fixed it. The seat belts now retract a lot better after cleaning yesterday and spraying with a silicone interior treatment spray. Also painted the bits of the cills behind the front wheel arches that I treated yesterday with kurerust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I went out for a drive. 25 miles of driving like my wife thinks I drive all the time. All PSE. Mostly sport, some sport + and a Fair amount of manual mode. silly amounts of heavy baking and heavy acceleration and some plant the foot and let the pdk do its thing accompanied by some really nice pops and growls and nice “blippy” downshifts and for once not many people out doing their thing on the roads where I was doing mine sometimes I forget how quickly you can cover distance in these cars when you are trying got home and it was very hot and “boxster smelly” glad I cried off that last “zoom call of the day” and went out roof down and “give a sh*t” set to zero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey P Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 No work at the moment, so I washed the Boxster, even though it didn't really need it (Blimey, I need to get a life!) I really ought to make the effort and try out the clay mitt and DA polisher I bought months ago, but by the time the car is washed and dried I've had enough and can't be bothered, ha ha!

Skidd Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Finally, after 12+ years of ownership..... I snapped the fecking 'B' on the rear boot badge with my cleaning mitt. 😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks much better now I've taken it off anyway, so it did me a favour in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Wash and then a little drive to dry the brakes. Sat in dead stop traffic for an hour on the A2. So much for a quick blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
