What did you and your MK2 do today?

Today I smelled a oil burning smell in the car and the revs are dancing around with the foot of the gas. So I ordered a new PCV valve and gasket.

Changed the rear wiper arm as the the plastic clips that hold the wiper blade had broken off the original one.

Detailed the car using some new products. Much of them from a little know brand called EZ and auto glim wheel kit used on the wheels.

Really impressed with the EZ products, I'm planning to put a review up when I get time.

Not far! I was at the Doncaster meet so you'll have seen it then haha

In-between a new addition to the family, moving house etc... I just haven't had the funding to work on any wants for the car.

You may not think it has come far but the paint work has with all the effort and polish and wax you have been using all helps the paint work last and stops it from going pink

That's true enough, the paint is looking much better than it did when I got it.

Funny you mention paint work, a bird crapped on my wing mirror and I hadn't noticed, ate into the laquer cracking it and fading it. I've just been out with a drill polish head and Maguire's ultimate compound buffing it out.

I've seen bird poo do damage before but this was rediculous, it ate into the paint in a matter of a few hours.

I have been k own to come home off a night shift and be out at 5am washing Bird Crap off my car. Neighbours think I’m mad but as you say it eats into paint in a matter of hours and with it being warm I don’t want the stuff gardening while I’m in bed.
