Just looking through some of the photos I've taken of my "mods" since purchasing my V6 and thought I'd share them with you guys.

The difference between power washing regularly or not,
look below to see the two covers taken from both my 75's, one since new (02) and now with 111k the V6 basically the same age (52) and now with 40k. Can you tell which is which, they have both been sand blasted and this shows them with a couple of coats of primer.



The top one which is the worst is from the lower mileage V6. I have regularly power washed the (02 diesel ) since new.

I had noticed some leaves and rubbish lying in the upper channel of my V6 and was quite shocked when I found this after removing the top cover.



Some little critter had been chewing away for some time, this is the engine.



And this is how much material I sucked out. I was very lucky the wiring had not been damaged but you can just make out where they had chewed the insulation on the injectors.



More "mods" to follow JYJ
