Got the car up on ramps to have a good look under.
Nothing to report other than in previous ownership, the air con drain pipe clip must have broke, so some kind soul, bent it upwards, and tucked it behind something. That'll help it drain. 🙄Hmmmm. Then checked front & rear pads for wear. Was actually disappointed when they all had 5mm or more depth. Discs looked good too, so downed tools and went to pub. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finished all my underside and brake cleaning and rust proofing with Dynatrol.
Gave my calipers some bling with this smart gold paint......from Poundland! made for exterior use and on metal, so far it looks good and hopefully will be hardwearing.

Just a bit of fibreglass matting will solve that. No problem. Bit of black paint and it will be as good as new.

Something a little less drastic, as the new rose joints turned up
Mmm, other side to do after tea, then just a small matter of the new upper arms arriving and we should be good to go Brian |
