This was the cause of the more than normal vibration.
So a new one fitted and back to the normal vibes, an easy enough job, it took longer to remove and refit the undertray, still, it does a good job of keeping it dry and clean. 🙄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Can not believe the difference a little bit of rubber makes. Glad you found out the reason for the bad vibes. Little tip Dave, put some tape round the aircon pipe where it is rubbing on the bonnet felt before it rubs through. Did mine years ago with some aluminium tape.

Fitted a new pair of Bosch wiper blades today
The drivers side one had a big black aerofoil fitted . this did nothing to enhance the elegant lines of my moonstone tourer. I soon had that pulled off ! |

Funnily enough I was looking at the pipe and thought I need to cover that with some ally tape rather than some black insulating tape. |

Replacement door seal, door pad and central locking actuator fitted, now have CL on all doors for first time for a few years
Also removed front bumper to try to get it fitting better, not hugely successful but bonnet does open and close better Think it’s just a mk2 "thing" |

I cut some from an old infill into wedges and packed it out to a perfect fit. I have a pic somewhere. |

Hot Wheels
Took her to MGR John at Blaydon. The NSF wheel was running hot, even after a short trip and was causing concern.
To put it mildly, the caliper had got stuck and the brake was binding to such an extent that it was impossible to turn the wheel when the car was on the jacks. In effect I had been driving with the handbrake on! Will be returning tomorrow to collect her after fitting of new discs, pads and a couple of other items. John said I can expect considerably more MPG from then on. One consolation was that while I was there I sourced some pre Project Drive items that I was seeking. |
