Didn't really need them done BUT thought I'd do it anyway, front discs and pads changed!

Gave front end/subframe some undersealing!

Decided to give the rear beam some TLC, needle gunned it, wire wheeled it where needed. Red oxidised it, epoxy painted it then used some undersealing on it!

Gave the brake drum shoes assembly a good clean with brake cleaner, gave the drums a slight clean and paint with VHT black.

This is going to be a good wee treat for someone!

FIXED! Firing on all 4 cylinders now!

Coilpack 1 (closest to firewall) was the issue, but just for peace of mind, I replaced the sparkplugs and HT Leads!

***HT LEAD ORDER***
If you're doing this and forget, the leads from the coilpacks in order from closest to firewall to bumper is 4 - 1, 3 - 2.

As in;
Coilpack 1 - Plug 4
- Plug 1
Coilpack 2 - Plug 3
- Plug 2

- Also changed the thermostat as it was a 10 minute job.

Fitted airbox back on and fired it up, no misfire anymore!! EML also went out, didn't even need to wipe any codes!!!

Had a scuff on the nearside but luckily with a little bit of G3 Polish and a rag, got it all off!

Went back to the unit at night and gave the headlights a polish! Really impressed with how well they've came out!

Whilst waiting for parts, started doing some tidying up jobs. Confirmed it is coilpack 1 that's buggered but they should be arriving tonight (15/10/25).

Cleaned up the throttle butterfly valve, had a go with the sandblaster with the battery stay. Wire wheeled and copper greased the top strut nuts/thread, cleaned up the coilpack brackets.

Gave it a quick wash, pretty impressed with how well it's came out!
