I looked at it thinking "I should do something with it", again.

Ordered a new used throttle Body from Latvia, as it might be possible that I killed my while tried to replace the sensor

Default Air filter and cabin pollen filter replaced

The air filter for the engine was fairly clean... a bit off white and a few bits of leaves and twigs but not too dirty after 8000 miles and 16 months.

The cabin pollen filter after 16 months was almost black. It must be finer than the air filter to trap soot from exhausts of other vehicles.

Also changed a windscreen wiper blade as the nearside one was looking a bit frayed at the end.

Renewed all the tail light bulbs, making the rear end look a little more respectable

Temperature resistant royal blue metal paint, same stuff I used for the calipers. Also used it on my old Saab's ignition pack, should be up to the job.

Good stuff. Did you have to do much in the way of prep? Mine looks beyond grotty so its something I'd like to do, but my aluminium is rather oxidised and has some oil staining.
