Weather's been fantastic in the North today, so she's had a good polish:
The new Michelin wipers are on - they look great and work perfectly, much better than the stock ones, and I'd thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Put in some new pure white sidelight bulbs as well, and they're a big improvement.
For the eagle-eyed amongst you, the front badge is only temporary, so please can we not have comments about it; a friend had one spare, so I though 'why not'. I'm not in any way trying to pretend my car is what it's not, it just sets off the front end really nicely
I've a few smalls plans for over the next month, mostly mechanical.
Firstly, one of the dashboard panels has some damage to it, so I'm looking for one to replace it.
Once that's out the way with, I'll be ordering and fitting a new set of front discs and pads - the current ones are in reasonable condition, but the pads will need changing soon anyway, so I might as well swap the discs over. It gives me a good opportunity to replace both front anti-roll bar drop-links while I'm at it (as they've deteriorated AGAIN) and, while the calipers are off, I'll repaint them. They've taken quite a few stones over the past year.
Anyone know of a good OEM supplier of discs? Mine are the vented type.
On top of that, the heater motor's grumbling, and reluctant to work until I've hit the dashboard, so I'll have to sort that out. Maybe new FIAT badges front and rear too, as they've suffered slightly from water ingress.
And that's all, he wrote
