Cleaned my car inside and out after weeks of neglect, looked fairly rough, wheels were the same colour as the tyres and had many varieties of bird poop on it. Its most likely wont stay clean for long with the damp roads and already my interior mats are covered in crap. Ah well

Pics:







And then into the garage with its buddy!

Manky isn't the word I would use.. Filthy...Full of leaves and bits of other stuff like fluff and grit.. was on the Pi$$ tonight so cannot check if it sorted anything until Monday.
Hopefully sorted it..
Was this on the VRS? Is it not less than a year old?

I washed mine, my god it looks soooo much better, I'd kinda resided to the fact it was crap looking and given up, but since washing it it's got a bit of a shine to it. Gave the wheels a good clean too. It must be 2-3 months since washed it.

Yes,
14 months as Corkie said
Apparently it should be changed annually or 20k which I had both done. €16 for the new one.

Thanks to vectra mentioning his cabin filter, I took mine out to have a look. It was filthy.

I hoovered and bet the **** out of it to get out all the dirt. It's kind of clean now but could do with being replaced.

Not bad at all. I've been meaning to do both of mine also, been about 18 months since I changed them last, about €40 a pop, robbing gits.

My windows are steaming up a lot, even with the aircon on so must have a look at them.

^^ Nice motors/work Shakes-Beer.

Started adding sound deadening to the Estima.



Thought I'd get it all done in one day. Not a chance, didn't get much further than this pic after stripping it out.

Should make a huge difference - engine is almost mid mounted and the old diesel IP is very noisy.


EDIT: - I used this stuff. Free delivery and goes on very easy. I used an oil filled radiator in the car while working to keep the pads/mats malleable. Sat them on top before using.
