1973mjg Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Got the roof down for the fist time in 2020 and went for a short blast! Seems ages since the roof has been down, I'd forgot how much fun a convertible can be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey P Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Had to wash mine, because when I filled up with petrol the pump decided to go berzerk and sprayed super unleaded all down the wing and door... No point just washing the affected areas, so thought I might as well give the whole car a quick once over when I got home. She scrubs up nicely I think. Not perfect, but close enough for me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 appear to have broken my passenger window Went to the gym early this morning, forgot to de-ice along the weather strip, lowered the window to clear, made some grinding sounds and stopped moving. Managed to get back up to full raised height but something isn't right as it doesn't drop when you open the door. Booked in to see my man next week as my drive currently looks like a branch of jewsons and don't fancy trying to fix it in the middle of storm ciara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the same - i don't have the patience to try and do this on my drive this weekend with no cover, so sending it to the mechanic man to fix. More expensive, but so much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def1 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Collected wheels from being refurbished £120 bargain!! They removed tyres refurbished the wheels re fitted and balanced in 4 days . It’s even cheaper if you take just the rims in £20 a wheel !!! I had full sparkle and having Center caps done to match before the summer arrives .i will also be ceramic coating rims before re fitting back on car 👍 Citywheels in Birmingham Edited February 7, 2020 by Def1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sa utah Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 For 30 quid per wheel I’d doubt they’d have even taken the tyres off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red rocket Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Think I might give them a go when I take my winters off. Have to go past Brum once a month when I go to visit my Mum in Manchester so no probs to drop off and collect later. Was only looking earlier at a (more local) refurb - £80/wheel!!

Deano37 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Fitted the newly webbed seat belts. Passenger side one was a pain as it had 'reverse lock' so wouldn't retract. Luckily a simple fix. https://imgur.com/H6lTH64https://imgur.com/gAF5CED Just waiting for the re-trimmed steering wheel now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_ian Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I walk to work in Central London so mine doesn't get driven daily. I hadn't started it in a couple of weeks so took it for a quick spin. Roof down and 7000 rpm through a tunnel near London Bridge made me giggle like a child and reminded me why I love it.

Sometimes you have to help feed the last bit in. Do you know if that would be fixed as part of the rewebbing they do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonners Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Checked my ignition coils...think I better keep an eye on carparts4less and buy some new ones when they have a decent sale on! https://imgur.com/gallery/ar3qBOa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
