Seen previous posts on here and looked at YouTube stuff. First look inside hood indicates old elastic is in tatters so will need to remove torx screws and start from scratch. Into lockdown here in Wales from Friday so no excuse not to get it done, weather permitting. Beautiful weather for a couple of days and got this job finished today - didn't need to remove screws as there was just enough old stuff left to which I could attach new elastic. Roof now sits perfectly but outside trim has been marked during the time the roof sat on the outside. Can anyone recommend the best product to refurb the trim please?

I bought the elastic to do this not long after I acquired the car about a year ago... Still not got round to sorting it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penrhos Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Got mine in June this year and it's taken me 5 months so I can't say much and if I'd been able to play golf (in Wales under lockdown currently) it probably would still not have got done 😆. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remodot Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 New front springs put on last week and 4 wheel alignment. Today oil and filter change, wheels off cleaned and polished. Car washed and C2 v3 liquid coat. Now in garage, C-Tek plugged in and covered until March. I'll clean and condition seats soon, no hurry as they were done about 6 weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remodot Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Can't tell you!!!! I normally do them maybe twice a year, last time was a clean up after my grandson spilt some coke on the passenger seat. I would normally condition them before putting off the road as garage can be dry and wouldn't want to risk any drying out. There is a dehumidifier in the car as well while in garage.

Eg no diffs etc... I’m from the world of 4 motion golfs where multiple oils need changing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m aware - I had it done last month as my car turns 13 this month and would have been due a minor service - but as I have my oil changed annually in April when I get her MOT done and any other bits and pieces that puts me up to date for a minor - think it cost about £60 - also had a great cooked breakfast over the road at the Chow Shed and a good run up the Fosse Way to get to Lee’s.

iborguk Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Got my car back from having this wallet worrying message (mine is a PDK). In case anyone else ever gets this...MAF kept throwing P1096 and car would stick itself into "limp home mode" AOS was diagnosed as an issue due to increased crankcase pressure and the theory being that dirty unmetered air was upsetting the MAF air kg/h reading. The DME then declared a wobbly and threw the behaviour/message below. Early days but so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey P Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Had a decent topless drive back from my Dad's this afternoon. I had a meeting over there with a Macmillan Nurse discussing the way forward after his recent hospital visit where they found he's got lung cancer, so I needed to clear my head, and a drive with the roof down certainly did the trick. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance... I bought a pair of Meyle drop links for my 2.7 for £30 approx 18 months ago. Seller was johnyboy-1 Last time I looked he was still selling for a slightly higher price. Edit: just had a quick look and it seems to me that the £36 ones should fit the 2.7. Edited November 6, 2020 by red rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
