Booked my car into an auto electricians for Saturday as the fan for the heater has packed up. Pulled up a fault code that I worked out to be the fuse/relay. Also needs to cruise control looking at so figured I'd get them both looked at. Hoping it won't cost too much, needs insurance and tax at the end of the month.

I've also fitted my £12.50 ebay front splitter recently, and for the money i'm well happy with it.

Would take a pic, but need to perform surgery on my phone first, smashed the camera the other day. Not looking forward to it as the whole thing is bonded together, front and back.
What phone is it out of interest as I do quite a few phone repairs on the iPhone's and Samsung's

Well had my car back what feels like 5 mins after a new chain and turbo and discovered an oil leak. Only just got it back in this morning and a new climate control unit is needed and a sump gasket

S6. Done the job last night, but silly me ordered a 'genuine' camera from ebay that is utter garbage and had a blurred spot in all images that it takes, didnt think to check until i had reassembled it. Livid. (No it isn't a smudge - I've checked)

Ordered a genuine used item removed from a phone instead. Expect the job to be a lot easier to do second time round after which i'll be returning the ebay garbage for a refund.

Ah fair play, yeah I've had some issues with the iPhone cameras being pants, i try and find a reputable seller and stick to them otherwise can be a bit pot luck whether you get a good part or not.

Picture this...... you are on a mountain road, on a dark, wet night. You have a hot date. You get a flat. You pull over. Open boot to get jack etc out. The local maniac comes roaring round the corner. He is confused by your bright number plate lights. He pulls to the left, thinking it's an oncoming car. You panic. You wave frantically but he doesn't seem to see you. He strikes you a glancing blow, flicking you onto the adjacent rail track (did I not mention that?) the night express is coming.... you scream but the roaring loco bares down on you ..... you can't move..... closer... closer.... closer.... see? Is that what you want to happen, coz it will :rofl:

Lol hahaha :happy:

Have thought about buying the proper Cupra badge in black Dan but the plasti pip is holding up really well so didn't see the point yet but will make the purchase at some point :)

Also interested to see the splitter I'm intrigued buddy.

Had a few bits fitted today had my cambelt and waterpump done along with a service and cam follower change. Then I've had new brakes all around with fresh fluid and braided hoses :) I haven't picked it up yet but looking forward to collecting it after work tomorrow.



Cam follower and waterpump not in the pic but they were changed ;) also painted all the hubs and edges of the discs beforehand.

Its quite common for new phone cameras to have a screen protector on when replacing with a new part, I have had similar in the past and just left it in as i couldnt be bothered to try another and about 6 months later i noticed the protector was hanging off lol took great pictures after lol.

Had my decat downpipe fitted today, cars already Revo stage 1 and just fitting that has made it feel a lot quicker already the standard downpipe bore looks so tiny :)

The only problem I have now is I had a silencer fitted at the same time but it's too small I think, going to go back and see if they will change it to something bigger

Cheers guys. Only had to cut a few inches off the end. Took a bit longer to fit than I had planned as I secured it with a number of small self tappers in addition to the 3M tape. For the money you can't beat it
