Today I checked the the four wheel alignment using a Gunsons Trackrite. They were fine BTW

Last week i fitted the walnut kit from Simon (in Bulgaria) and it looks rather nice.

Removed leaking offside rear light seal, re-glued the join, siliconed both sides of seal all round and refitted. Won't have long to wait for rain no doubt to see if it's fixed...

I finally got round to fitting my e-zee digital temp gauge and it looks fantastic and works a treat too

I finally cleaned the plenum covers that I had removed a while ago. Treated them with black WOW glued the loose rubber window edge to the top cover. Fitted the carpet clips that came with the car but were never installed. Had quite a fight with the thick carpet and the narrow pre cut openings, but after some messing around I got them in. Quite an improvement: the mats are now neatly kept in place! Crawled in the boot to operate the manual latch, after I had closed it after disconnecting the battery: stupid. Gave the leather on the drivers side yet another treatment with Gliptone. Is now getting that nice matte finish and the lovely smell. Did some cleaning under the bonnet; am still hasitant to give it a full clean because of the large amount of electrical wires and connectors (it's the V8, so not as cleanly organised as the other models).

Fitted some new washers to Steve916s boot lid mod now works nicely , then gave the old girl a damn good wash having been thru some mucky flood water yesterday...

Apart from installing some extra lights in the boot, installing the DD Android unit I also installed my bonnet LED's. They switch on and off when you open or close the bonnet.

.

Today I drove to my local scrapyard and got for my V6:

good inlet manifold with throttle body and vis motors (both working)
cam sensor, 2 hole switch panel, a set of Tourer chrome hooks for the boot
(for the diesel) and a set of scuttle clips for £30.

I also got a set of tourer roof bars for someone else for £10

Then it hissed down

so I went home to watch the Rugby
