This weekend will consist of repairing the dipstick and also re sticking the centre cap inserts after i give them another lick of paint, and if i can be bothered driving into work ill weld the drivers side front brake disk backing plate back together, the outer section is now completely detached from the inner meaning its jingling around nicely, which is quite irritating. I may well also re fit the front coilovers as the cnc / weld shop at work did some magic repair work for me, and while i dont know what exactly was done, you literally cannot even see where it was broken anymore, its just like new again.

roof rails
Due to a thoughtful neighbour, I won a pair of roof rails from a scrapper, and put them on my V40. They look as if they had always been there. I don't know if they will ever be useful, but they do look better.

Just remember though that theres an engine mount each side and the two mounts underneath on the crossmember which runs front to back. That's 4 mounts in total. |

Spent the weekend taking gas tank out so that the back half of the rear brake lines could be replaced. Not a pleasant job. Oh and while I was in there I noticed that a) the fuel lines are in just as bad shape as the brake lines AND that the rear LHS spring had cracked at the bottom of the shock. Shrugged it off and started taking everything apart to replace that too...and of course I can't get that stupid bottom shock bolt out. I tried using an adjustable C-clamp - now it's no longer adjustable or even usable, tried using a rattle gun, an air chisel, a bit of heat, lots of pounding and penetrant, nothing. God I hate that bolt. I now have some heavier duty clamps in hand, I'm beating this beast tonight. There is no way I'm losing this battle.

I suddenly seem to have lost power. It still drives, but it's not as lively as it was. And in this weather, it'll just have to wait. Bloody nuisance though.

Noticed this yesterday on waiting for the gate to open on the way home from work in the S40 T4, 135000 bang on.
