Try changing the pollen filter and use one of them aircon bombs. Also check the scuttle drains are clear

Ahhh of course! 2 year warranty is pretty good

Unbelievable, for an oil change! This is what i hate about main dealers, why cant they be a little more competitive, reminds me when BMW wanted to try and charge me £250 odd per tyre! Would have thought you would have done it yourself, unless you want the service book kept up to date
-
Not much difference in price so maybe go for the genuine one, hopefully a permanent fix if they have revised it!
-
It has a visible key hole on driver side with no cap, passenger side has no key hole at all. I got a passenger side handle carrier from a left hand drive car, which replaces my driver door carrier that had the key hole, so now neither side has a keyhole!
-
In it's broken form didn't bother replacing it!
-
Looks a lot better too without the keyhole

Yeah i spotted where the water was coming from the first time i saw a puddle on the drive! just need to keep an eye on it to make sure the expansion tank isnt cracked as they are prone to getting hairline cracks. Re the injectors, unless anyone can think of anything else, ive replaced the plugs and coil packs with no joy, i think the injectors are the next step? Fault codes have been cleared, next time it happens, i might swap the injectors from 5 and 6 which are the culprits misfiring to another to see if the problem follows

Got the coolant leak sorted, it was a 3 way pipe that comes from the expansion tank that was leaking, here's the old one. Got a service too Still have the issue of the cold starts to sort, he cleaned the engine solenoid and said to see if it makes any difference, I suspect it won't and will need new injectors, will find out tomorrow!!

my phone was inside on charge, hence I took them from inside Yeah they are prone to theft via the ODB port Rich, with the ODB cut off and prox sensor its much safer, hence the upgrade!

You and me both lol! I got it professionally installed!

Thanks gents! Not sure on the rocker cover, may well have been! Nope no key hole on either side! Got this fitted too Comes with proximity / shock sensors, immobiliser and OBD immobiliser Quick vid of the prox sensor http://rs780.pbsrc.com/albums/yy86/AIYA_Z/Car/82B33940-969D-46F2-8395-CFE872E2861A_1.mp4?w=160&h=160&fit=clip

As my wheels hadn't been put back on last year, I washed and sealed them Gave the car a good wash And put the wheels back on Couple of them do need a refurb, will try and get them done over the summer ! As i was putting them back on, i found one of the front bolts wouldn't tighten, so i think it has threaded, I've left it for now as i was running on 4 bolts all round on the winters as i couldn't find the locking nut!
-
Tail end of last year, the car started running rough on cold starts, smoke test showed the rocker cover was cracked! Whilst this helped, it soon was running rough again in cold starts which is now indicating injectors as the coils and plugs have been changed; still haven't got round to getting them changed. Also, last week I have noticed a bit of coolant leaking by one of the pipes, I think the pipe needs replacing!

Not yet its on my list

December 2015, I came out to this What was left of the barrel They had unlocked the car, however luckily my car has had the security update that prevents the windows from being rolled down, if it had, they could have reached down to the OBD port without the alarm going off and reprogrammed another key! Passenger side door handles don't have key holes, my solution, I got a right side door handle from a left hand drive car As I was getting the carrier sprayed, I got my wing mirrors redone as they where covered in chips While I was at it, I thought I might as well It's been sat there for a while, only fitted it a few weeks back
-
So it's been quite some time since I've done an update, so here goes... Headlight blew so had to get a replacement, bit of a PIAas the whole lamp needs to come out, replaced the pair Old out New in Not long after, it was running really rough at high speeds, all 6 coil packs replaced
-
So a few weeks back I gave it its first wash, just a quick wash and clay, came out alright! Blimey its a lot of car to clean

Looks really good mate, defo made the right choice
