Did it wander lonely as a cloud? Tracking, probably
Did it gaze upon a host of Golden daffodils. Headlight adjustment needed.

Put the hardtop back on (after a bit of headscratching remembering the nut/washer sequence, and hookwrench rotation.) Got there in the end. Do your worst, Sunday gales...

Replaced spark plugs which by the looks of them were changed in last century. But it didn`t solve the problem anyway :(

Finally got round to giving it its winter coat of Autoglym HD wax. :D

After driving home Sunday night in sub-zero temperatures I was going to fit the winter bottletops. Things have warmed up a little though so they can remain in the shed for a bit longer.

Pulled the cover off (well, the boot section), unlocked the boot. Put some rarities in it and locked it back up. Put the cover back on and left it!

At least it's still there!

Dropped my shell to a bodyshop to get a new bulkhead put in for my s85 v10!
Anyone know where I could get an e30 m3 bootlid kit for a standard e30?
507 bhp should be just about enough to start with...

Today I took the upper manifold off to replace the injector seals .
But I must of misplaced them or lost them a˜ª
So tomorrow I'll be renewing the seals plus 2 of the injectors as the bottoms were broken.
Plus I need to buy a compressor to do the drain ways from the sunroof to the back bumper.
Plus maybe redo the alarm as the battery exploded.
Has anyone got a pic of where the wires go.
This is the alarm I have .

That's me I'm out of things.
Thanks

What, literally? 8O They are replaceable - usually a Ni-Cd or Lithium type available from the likes of Maplin, CPC, etc.
