Well it's taken me ages to get round to fitting it but finally replaced my rusty wing today!

Nice job spurs. Why did you have to jack her up?
To get a little bit more room, and to help get to the 2 10mm nuts that hold the wheel arch liners in.

There is a bolt on the inside that you can't get to without getting inside the arch liner...

Gave the 'red paint pinking' a go over today after I saw I perfect product in Halfords on the 3for2 offer.
I must say I'm stunned by the results.
A 4 stage process.
1 - wash and dry using Zymol shampoo
2 - Meguiars Ulitmate Compound
3 - Zymol polish
4 - Dodo Juice wax

I tell you what it looks 100 times better. - and my hands smell nice!

Was very busy this morning!

Finally replaced the rear differential bush, for a powerflex version, slightly harder than discussed on here recently as I upgraded my rear hanger to a double ear OEM upgrade so we lowered the rear subframe to get the old one out and new one in.

























Then changed the faulty brake wear sensor









Also gave her an oil and air filter service





Followed by changing the seat bushes on both seats. @Aceman









On the plus side I found over £11 under the driver's seat!

You original diff bush looked about the same state as mine did - can you feel any difference with the Powerflex one in place?

That £11 should help recover the cost of the new bush :)

Nice job Andy!! Keep at it and pretty soon all I'll need to do is find a way to pay for it and then trouble free driving!! JIM

Not done many miles this afternoon, but it is certainly quieter and that horrible clunk has gone!
