took my polisher to the roof & boot with meguiars ultimate compound, then polished with meguiars ultimate wax.

decided I need the front bumper re-spraying.

Congrats Freck, Always nice when she passes her MOT.

I fitted some wind deflectors today, very easy to fit, and I like the looks of it:

Collected car after its service and fitting of aircon and alternator drive belts, fitted my 'new' widescreen bordmonitor when I got home, just waiting for the delivery of the widescreen TV / video module!

Ran the 75 for half an hour to try and get the engine flush to clean out the heater matrix but so far, it's still blowing cooler on the passenger side.

BUT, it's still clean!

Washed it

I emptied a large tinful of Bilt Hamner underbody treatment into my body cavities (oo-err missus, the 75, not mine personally) so it's probably going to stink for a week or two now!

After checking with the endoscope cam, it all seemed pretty rust free really. I hope to keep it that way. It's a bit incontinent from the drain holes now, so will have some "wiping" to do when it all stops!

Took Mo to a garage recommended by a workmate to get an estimate for rust removal and spray painting. Only to find it has closed down.
Got home, hosed her down, shampooed with auto glym, dried with kitchen towel. In the process I noticed quite a few surface scratches and chips.
Also did under bonnet fluid checks, all ok, no loss of anything

Tried to remove a rusted screw from the radiator bracket on top of the bumper bit. No chance, so tomorrow if it's dry I'll get the screw/bolt removal tools out.
