The dodgy geezer in Norfolk is still getting high on red oxide fumes!
Deflashed the new calipers with a flap wheel in the grinder before painting them too.

Blue calipers for a blue car? Sounds good!

Yeah, but they are destined for the white one!

Still cool.
But if in doubt, can't go wrong with black!

As the weather was behaving today I decided to tackle the intercooler hose and replace the 'O' rings with the VITON upgrade.
Little bit finicky but not too bad a job, as predicted ... one had dropped into the cooler and when I managed to fish it out I saw that it was not only very swollen but also broken! so good job I replaced them really. Also took the opportunity to re-check the egr I had cleaned a few weeks ago, still looks pretty shiny so this time decided to leave it unplugged (as advised by the guru's on here) till I decide whether to modify / bore it out or replace with a complete egr delete kit. |

Re mounted my drivers side door mirror. I think it's took a knock and the three mounting screws had pulled through and stripped their threads.
Tapped it out to M6 and put new fixings in, good as new. |
