Hi all,
Well pleased with a new MOT yesterday. It wasn't actually due until January but July/August is much nicer time to work on a car if needed!
I even removed the undertray so MOT man could get to see everything more easily
.... but here's the problem. The undertray I acquired from someone else recently, i.e. second hand, as my car didn't have one.
The sound deadening foam was heavily soaked in oil and when the engine/foam got hot it smelt like I had a bad oil leak!
So ..."
Take off and replace the foam" I thought.
This developed into : Remove foam, remove aluminium plate, scrape off all the crud, degrease, twice, wash, dry,... and
then I found myself using my expensive AutoGlym products to treat the
topside of the Undertray .... which no one will ever see!
I need help .... this is not normal behaviour!
Cliff / Teflon / Nev .... come on folks .... please tell me someone else has the same problem!
MOT man also suggested I need to clean up my headlights .... so a chance to use my 3M Headlight Restore Kit .... at least people will see those results!
Happy cleaning, all
John
