I wondered why it has started to rain.

Checked the plenums (clear) and did the heating/aircon system with minty fresh air-con sanitiser. All smelling luvverly now! Don't forget to read the data / warnings when using sanitisers!

Had a mooch around Albert Looms scrapyard in Derby and came across a warning triangle in an old VW Passat.

Fitted a treat:



They had one more in a Bora if anyone is on the lookout. Also a Starlight Silver ZT-T and purple 75 saloon in there

Today I fitted a horrendously expensive (£70-including intercooler duct) new rubber seal to the intercooler duct/throttle body on my 1.8t. Apparently these are like hens teeth but there you go. Now runs Smooooooth though!

Also fitted a new door card to the rear drivers side door. That was a bargain £15 purchase so I suppose that evens it out. Replaced the one the previous owners dog had chewed! Interior karma restored.

Then gave it a wash just to encourage it to rain again.

Stopped on the hard shoulder of the A1, opened the bonnet, removed my boot and gave the UBP a clout with my steel toe cap.

Funnily enough, I've not had to perform this procedure while driving the 45

I rather think it's time to convert to a single pump version
