What did you do to your x40 today???

Vacced the inside of the T4, Did'nt bother with the armourall inside, went straight into washing, claying and polishing. Looks better but it does show up all the scratches more, which there are plenty of those!

That was crafty, putting up before and afters without telling us. Again looking good and a lovely colour combo.

I've grown to like the colour. Been back breaking spending 2 days out in cold, but it's nice to see it back shiny.

I fitted black bezel lights, 2 working headlight wipers, eggcrate grill and while bumper was dropped, I cleaned all the years of crud from all metalwork. I then removed the rear washer pump to see why it wasn't working and broke the large outlet pipe and small pipe to the hose! They were very brittle and broke very easily, pump now works after a wiggle so I've attempted a bodge for now and will fit it tomorrow to see if it leaks but not holding any hope.
Will pop some before and after pics of the front end up tomorrow, big difference!

Went upto gatos place expecting to do a turbo didn't need doing plenty of life in it so we left it but I did learn something the previous owners took out the info centre and clocks for some reason and I also have the steering rack modification and according to gatos professionaly done so I don't know what is going on behind the dash.

But I now have working clocks and info centre as it's supposed to have

What's with the modification Kieran, was it a design flaw with the original rack?

After the change over with the headlights, grill etc. I have given the car a quick wash this morning and taken a couple of pics, she looks great now and with working headlight wipers.

Here is my attempted bodge of the broken rear screen washer motor. I glued it, a little plastic welding and then sealed with clear silicon. I'm hoping it will not leak as I have no washers for the windscreen if it does which isn't ideal in this weather.

Well today I've decided to give her a wash and polish when she's dry and take the plastic headlight wiper surrounding out and spray them black as it's the last bit and the front end what I've been putting off for maybe years now!!

I don't know I didn't know about it until gatos told me something to do with shear bolts or something, but I did a service today new filters and a oil change. And mvr youre car is looking good, and gatos has me hooked on that Greek style dip I've made some today lmao
