OMG, even your glove box is tidy!

How can it not be tidy you can only fit 4 things in it lol

Haha, mines a tip. But useful. Have OBD connector, tyre tread depth, brake pad thickness, torch, plasters for when I shred my fingers.

What about the sweets, Petrol Receipts and in my case random bits of paper.

I have my manual and service book of course. No food or drink allowed in the car!!

So here is my OCD Chart for people with Symmetry and ordering

1/ Like the car to be clean inside and out and all cubbyholes are neat and tidy

2/ Like the car to be clean inside and out - cubbyholes used but no food or drink allowed in the car

For those who suffer with Hoarding. (this is me)

1/ Like the car clean but are lazy when it comes to cleaning and everything gets chucked into cubbyholes and cleaned out every now and then.

the other types I have not yet met:

• Checking. - Is the car Clean.
  
• Contamination / Mental Contamination. - Defo to do with cleaning the car and what to use.
  
• Ruminations / Intrusive Thoughts. - Although this could be to do with cleaning the car

May get a job with the NHS looking after SEAT owners.

Not to mention my back seats are for decorative purposes only. And I frisk rear pockets before anyone gets in (just as a warning LOL).

You fitting the ALK yourself? I had a look when the car was on the ramp for tyres, looks easy enough but wondering how easy it’ll be on my drive!!

My drive is a slope so that's a negative for me, got a service in Jan so they will be fitting everything for me hopefully.

Ah... that would make it interesting!! I’m tempted to ask my local garage if I can rent a ramp for a few hours to get the ALK and ARBs fitted. I like doing this stuff myself but I’m getting too old for lying on the drive in the cold (I’m only lol)

I'd give most things a go as guides are everywhere but I'd want the car to work afterwards I'd probably loose sleep thinking I'd left bits off or something haha

 

[Sharpy]

My biggest worry these days is breaking something and not being able to get it to a garage.... the stuff I have left over never looks that important lol.

Oooo, nice delivery! I have no idea what I've ordered for Leon #2... I just know I've been spending straight for the last 40 hours.

 

[louiskopite]

Very nice stuff indeed. As a noob FR owner, must admit that already taking into consideration the oil you 're using and the cleaning equipment

Thanks very much, I experiment with alot of detailing stuff so don't take everything as it's amazing lol

As for the parts I've got they are probably worth changing in a MK2 TFSI fr if you have the petrol as if they're original ones they maybe on the way out. I wanted to make the car ready for a remap if I or thr next person to own the car wanted to do it.

If you need any more info on cleaning products if be more than happy to help if you want to send me a message through chat on here.

 

[Jimbobcook]

Few more goodies arrived today

Autobrite the hustler drying towel
3x 1200gsm drying towels
2 wash mits
New wiper blades

 

[Jimbobcook]

Service done and bits fitted, feels like a new car which is nice when you leave your car with someone expecting issues lol although they did pick the smallest guy in the garage to drive it... So 6ft3 and knees behind my head when I got in haha

Found 2 split servo pipes so put them on order and getting wheel alignment done once the antilift kit has settled.

Parts fitted - PCV valve + new gasket, Diverter Valve, cam follower kit, SuperPro anti lift kit and castrol edge 5w30 oil.
