Grizzlee Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Found water behind my passenger seat yesterday 😨 No idea where it got in as the the trombone cleaner usually works it's magic. Don't know how long it's been doing it, the car usually lives in the garage but that is full of Westfield's at the moment, so it's been on the drive over winter. It doesn't look like it's been raining in for long, but still a worry. The carpet is wet at the bottom of the firewall, dryer towards the seat, will have to do some more investigations today Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDonald Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I took my car to the seaside today. Lots of folk swimming. Sunshine in February is a thing to be treasured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey P Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 My neighbour 2 doors along was out washing his car this afternoon, and I jokingly said he could wash mine if he liked. To my great surprise, he said yes because he was so bored He's quite OCD about car washing, so here's the result: 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayernlarge Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Washed mine today and took it for a top-down blast afterwards. Is it just me that finds freshly washed cars feel better to drive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish19700 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Repainted calipers, new caliper stickers. Nice easy cosmetic uplift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remodot Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Taxed her, set tyre pressures and went for a wee drive around town, winter break over a bit earlier this year. Lovely sunny day with roof down. I looked at milage over the past couple of years, 5k 2019, just over 1k 2020, hope lockdown eases soon and get a decent milage during spring and summer this year.

McDonald Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Went to visit one of the three Indies I'm interested in. They've all got good websites, no one on the forum seems to know any of them. Decided I'd better go and check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykay495 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 A bit of spring-cleaning and a change of air-con condensors and drier for me a few days ago. And all buttoned back up together... Regassed, which thankfully went well. Removed wheels and cleaned the barrels, and also did the wheel-arches. Added one of those £25 bluetooth battery-monitors. Mot’d last week and flew through. Next on list is new elastic for the hood guides, and a try of the Renovo roof kit. It might be looking for a new home soon 😔 New puppy inbound and having had three years of pleasure with this car, an estate sized thing is looking likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settling on an Indie to care for your car is hard to do. Personal recommendation from someone who knows these cars is very valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzlt Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 New Frunk and boot struts I ordered on the 22nd of Feb from Autodoc arrived today so fitted them all. Front were 997.511.551.01 and I went for Lesjofors ones. The rear one is 987.512.551.01 appears unbranded. They are much stronger so no more headaches!
