Service Time

Haven't updated this for a while!!

Time has come for the big service as it is 5 years old in September!! Bought some things off Karl the other day, super fast delivery of him!



Consisting of;

Spark Plugs
Oil filter and Seal
Compartment Filter
6L of Oil

Don't need a Air filter as I have an ITG panel, so will just need a clean.

Ringing around to get the above fitted along with cambelt done! Expensive!

Would like the book stamped so want it all done by a garage really!

After this is out of the way then brakes will be on the agenda, still stops ok, but the pedal doesn't feel as sharp! Hubs don't look the best either if I'm honest! A standard disc, maybe an uprated pad with some braided lines. Any recommendations would be great!

Also removed the Vinyl strips of the doors today, looks loads better IMO!

After;

Was it easy to remove? It does look better, wouldn't mind doing that myself.

Yeah very easy dude!! well the driver side was anyway as it was in the sun all day.

I had to get the hair drier on the passenger. Looks better than the faded grey!

Only downside is that the pillar gets finger prints on it easy now, but I'm trying to get out of the habit of shutting the door by there, and using the handle.

 

[Giles]

looks good!

Yeah take your time with a hair drier on them and they come of easy!

Looks way better!!

 

[N0ddie]

Car looks superb.

I actually prefer the vinyls tbh. Though on black they dont make that much difference. On the brighter colours it needs them imo.

Performed a service today with the stuff that I bought from Karl!

Changed the;

Spark Plugs
Cabin/Compartment Filter
Oil Filter
Oil Change

First time I've (with the help of WelshTom1990 and his gramps driveway) done a service on any of my cars, so time was took following guides on here on each part we did! A great help!!

Couldn't of gone any smoother really, apart from getting the old oil filter off, which I'm sure was not, hand tight. So a 'different' method was used, and this was the result;


Craig and Tom 1-0 Oil Filter

These where the Spark Plugs that we took out;


Apologies for the hand in the background. Tom.

And this was the Compartment Filter, that we was quite shocked about really, on the state of it;



And there we have it. Car was running really smooth after it! Got to get the cambelt done soon aswell. So going to buy a kit of Karl, and ring around on some quotes to get it all fitted.

 

[N0ddie]

Should definitely be running better now.

 

[Craig_B]

Should definitely be running better now.

Yeah it's running lovely!! Wanted to get it done, before the trek up to FCS.

roud:

Any views on the condition of the old stuff?

 

[Foxspeed]

but got the filter off without brute force...

 

[smoggy mark]
