Hi Gaz,

My lass has already had a little winge about the time I have spent with the car lol.

Had a full wash and then a cleaner wax which removes everything of the paint work, Then clayed with 2 coats of poor boys sealant wax over the top. Once all finished a weekly coat of SmartWax will be added.

Getting a friend from the old Skoda forum who runs a photography company to do a photo shoot of the car this weekend! As long as the weather holds.

cheers Craig

Hi All,

Well the car was dropped off this morning with GTS-Chris \:D/

In for Oil Service/Gear box oil Service and a full check over.

Had confirmation the engine oil pressure is spot on! :thumleft:

Also had a compression test carried out – 171 / 171 / 166 / 199 – So slightly high on cylinder 4, Not sure what will be causing this? Carbon build up perhaps. Don’t think the high result will cause any issue but will be taken in to consideration when going for more power as this cylinder may want the DET before the other 3 perhaps.

This could be a good excuse to order a WMI (Water Methanol Injection Kit) :evil:

But all good news so far! Should get her back tomorrow :lol:

Cheers Craig

New mats cleaned and in!

New plate on the front....

New cusco rear brace fitted....

Image

Just waiting on:

TRD Oil Cap
Cusco Master Cylinder Brace

Picked the car up tonight from GTS-Chris (Top Bloke & Service!).

Anyhow he found out where the slight wheel wobble is coming from! Brakes are fine! Tracking is fine! We took the little 5mm spacers of the front still a little wobble!....

Checked both front alloys and both have a slight buckle! Pot hole more than lightly so had them balanced and there much better but will need fixed! Will be contacting Cardhore me thinks!!

Cheers Craig
