Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Fitted my new german pressed plates just now, yes I know every man and his dog has them, I dont care though, they look good on the e34 bangernomic! :cool:
At the weekend I washed the car,
used clean wheels & autoglym instant tyre dressing on its feet,
back to black'ed all of the plastics,
sun of a gun'd the internal plastics,
hoovered the whole car,
used super resin polish
and then some turtle wax extreme shine something or other,
The paint came up well but im never happy, so I'm going to get a clay bar at the weekend (& might invest in some dodo juice) and give it a serious cleaning.
On tuesday I fixed my door (posted a few days ago that the window had been smashed) - The front window rail was all over the place like a mad mans shyte so I:
Got a door from a breakers, It was in calypso red, so no use to me.
I removed the regulator motor and arms,
removed the glass,
removed all of the seals,
removed the front rail -
and transplanted it all into my original door, went swimmingly, I did not expect it to go so easy, got it done in under an hour.
All in all it has been a productive & happy week 0 -

Use Holts tar remover to easily get rid of the residue
I cleaned my MAF/IAT sensor today and gave my air filter a bit of a clean.0 -

My oil pump failed today
Thankfully I killed the engine straight away and no damage was done. Stripped the car and replaced it and then fit an oil pressure gauge
Also put her track shoes on for a blast round the track tomorrow afternoon!
Jaysus man, you seem to be having some bad luck lately! Hope it doesn't happen again!0 -

Do you ever do any real work for Urban or just get paid to mess with your car? 0 -
