General What have you done for her/him recently?

[Most Easterly Pandas]

On holiday with my boys this week, so was able to have a morning doing jobs on the princess. Managed to take off and replace my shocks (thanks Jangcy) and also fit my new mudflaps.

Piccies below, I am well chuffed with the end result - I love my new red shock absorber too!

Looking very

I'm just loving the look of those mudflaps Jon, promised myself a set ages ago - I think they look fab!

By the way, I know a lot of people on here are very technically minded - I also know that a lot of people on here are very interested but a little nervous to try stuff. I just wanted to say that I am one of those not so gifted people in the mechanics department but I have recently replaced my brake discs / pads and have now changed my rear shocks too. I have saved myself a fair amount of labour costs on those 2 jobs so I am well chuffed! Total cost for both jobs was £44.50 for parts. I love Pandas!!!:slayer:

I too, being a young'un, am quite new to mechanics, but the panda's a piece of cake to work on.

They do throw up problems along the way, but thats the way it is.

New rad should arrive tomorrow. Hoping its dry so i can get the old one out(fann too) and replace both.

We only changed the fluids on Saturday too, annoying having to drain the whole thing again:bang: Will reuse(after filtering) what is drained out. Expensive stuff antifreeze!

hmmm....will have to get red shocks now...

I've got a black one and a red one - so the princess is currently wearing 'odd shocks'

Would love another red one if anyone comes across any!

 

[CLXCraig]

Quick flash over with a red rattle can would to the trick i think martin

ATM old rad and fan is all out, suprising how much room it takes up in the engine bay.

Awaiting TNT to arrive with the new one now!!

EDIT; just delivered... but the fan was missing Ricambio are hunting for a surplus one. damn annoyed!

 

[CLXCraig]

Old and new pics of rad.

Ricambio do not have any fans ins tock till end of sept, so i've asked one
is despatched to me free of charge once they arrive in.

Sounding good blurredman - this was quite a tidy Marbella from memory? Not sure where you could get stickers from (perhaps try eBay Spain?) but look forward to seeing end result.

Thank you my friend and i have managed to find a few suppliers on uk ebay for general Seat decals. However no one does The Marbella decal not even in ebay espanol. But its funny to leave it off and keep the rich people wondering what make it is. Damn counter Urbanisation. This town has turned to nothing but pure ignorance [end of rant]

Is there a Seat forum similar to this one, where you could ask around? It won't be as good or as friendly as this forum, OBVIOUSLY

If you can find a picture of them, the right size. I'm sure a print shop would make them up, most do car graphics

 

[firstcar-Y10]

pulled top off fuel tank, drained it, mopped out gunk from bottom, replaced fuel filter, unblocked stupid idle jet again, took grumbleweed for a run. So far no misbehaviour.
here's hoping.
