Time to sort the foggy headlights, very please with the results, really lifts the car. Right hadn’t been done when pic taken https://ibb.co/fb520n

Finally got around to footering under the seats to jiggle the airbag connectors and put out that damned warning light.

Fit my Jules plenum guard and cable tied the bonnet pull splitter to make it more secure. Much happier as it was quite loose to start with.

Got mine done too for our MOT (n c t) also dreaded number plate light check and two new rear tyres check. OH and a good wash!

Fitted new rear tyres today, it’s been a very needy car this month.

Cowley V6, Also repaired and refitted the high level brake light which had previously been "repaired" by sticking the mounting to the glass with a rubbery glue (didn't work) so used Araldite today (see how that goes!).

The way i read a v5,is if you put a personal number on your car,the original number,desirable or not is kept by dvla so they put can put it back on original car if you move your personal plates on to another car.

Drove it just over 400 miles, and it consumed 3/4 of a tank of fuel

I am going to fit the Serpents tomorrow, and see what it looks like, then take off the tyres from the 11 spokes to get the wheels refurbed.

I suspect once the tyres come off, they will never be fitted to another car, as despite being four months old, they have to be the absolute worst tyres for road noise I've ever experienced in my life, for anyone interested they are Landsail

And they will be replaced with THESE

So apart from the buzzing from the light oak dash, and the deafening roar of the tyres, it was quite a nice journey
