The best I have had is from a large IT distributor who ship from the Netherlands, massive box containing bubble wrap to hold a paper license certificate, had this more than once from them, even though I request electronic delivery of licenses 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinespace Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Passenger seat out, ecu under seat out, hoover, two heavy duty bin liners around the ecu. Roughly reseat.

Buzzlt Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Finally got around to getting some paint well lacquer really put back on the front bumper when I washed it off ! Clay bar on order to sort the rest out... Had to run back and check that that is definitely not bird poop and just clouds reflecting in the bonnet after I took the picture.

Further up the post there is a picture of it with Homebase shampoo and no lacquer. Have to say the seats do look great though. Also forgot to mention- gave it hell through the hindhead tunnel under the devils punch bowl today 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark-yorkshire Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Just cleaned the leather steering wheel with Pears soap (the amber coloured bar) . Worked the soap into a lather with a new clean cotton cloth and worked into the wheel. After a few minutes cleaning and then wiping off with a clean damp cloth I finished off with a micro fibre towel. The results are great - nice Matt finish . Looks like a much newer wheel. Did the handbrake and gear-lever gaiter as well. Have previously used leather cleaners such as Autoglym but the wheel was still shiny. Best 70p spent.

Kit comes with very detailed instructions. Yes you need to cover the area, ensure the outside temp is right , start from bottom up and apply the flock within a couple of mins of applying the glue. Remove any excess within few mins of applying - blow on it (don’t be rude). Reckon if I colour match it with some pigment I’ll be hard pushed to tell difference , even as is it’s not a bad match.

lostinespace Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 MOT day, tester described the car as "mint" and proceeded to fail it on the steering rack gaiters both sides. No idea if this is diyable. Not too bad, my retrofit LED headlights and the fog lights as DRL's passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks diyable from what I have seen on youtube, watch me eat my words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I changed out both condensers and the dryer - there were a lot of leaves in there and the passenger side condenser had obviously been leaking for a while looking at the state of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
