New passenger side wishbone and engine mount supplied by MGRDS, feels like driving a new car! Seriously considering a 160/remap now

I obviously meant supplied by DMGRS but it was early!

Had a lot of trouble with main fan got fed up keep taking front of car off so relocated relay box . Easy now if relays or cicuit board go wrong in the future.

Raining here, but checked the cat repellant on the bonnet.

After the first major downpour today after the sunroof mods - dry as a nuns chuffer inside!

This was yesterday - when the sun shone and the sky was blue

Took both rear wheels off - jet washed all the arches and suspension, allowed to dry, wire brushed, kurusted, painted and then waxoyled. There was some surface rust but amazingly good for a 12 year old car. I will be setting up the waxoyl hose device I have tho and getting this all inside the suspension arms in the near future.

I used an aerosol can of waxoyl - and was very impressed. I did do as others have suggested and left it in hot water for 10 min. - this certainly seemed to increase the pressure AND make the waxoyl more liquid.

Sadly did not get round to doing the front due to lack of time but having had a good look and test when I replaced the drop-links and found nothing to worry about - I was more concerned about the rear suspension prior to another road salt laden winter.

And given the mucky weather today - I have to say I was well pleased with what was achieved yesterday. Especially as it was an absolute joy to find the bodywork/suspension etc is in such excellent nick.
