Luke Rainbird Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yarp. Luke I have an electric folding and heated mirror for a leon sitting here if you want it? No case, just the body as such Thanks for the offer mate, but I've just picked up a pair (folding & heated ) for £45 posted on eBay. They've been sprayed a dark charcoal grey but gives me a good excuse to give them a going over to make them nice and mint before fitting Need to track down a standard airbox next...

CurtisRider Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well it's here if you need it, probably not worth putting on ebay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Anyway, better pics with the rear spacers on. Look how sunken in the front is in comparison though haha got some 20mm hubcentric spacers on the way for the fronts 20141215_081645 by dann2707, on Flickr Random shot 20141216_155845 by dann2707, on Flickr Wasn't joking about the detail... 20141217_184202 by dann2707, on Flickr I also received this x 2 for the exhaust as mine are totally shot. Would anyone recommend filling this in with tiger seal / equivalent as it doesn't look too sturdy as it is?? 20141217_190844 by dann2707, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 New mirrors are fitted, I can actually see things behind me now! And, I just ordered a twin cup holder to replace the ash tray. Finally have somewhere to put drinks other than wedging them down the side of the seat. Last of all, I'm driving to Bruges tomorrow in the wee Mazda - can't wait! First time I'll have driven in Europe, probably could do with a car that has a little more road presence, but there we go.

Luke Rainbird Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Awesome stuff, Mike. Enjoy the EuroTrip. Currently sat with a nice cold pint enjoying reading Prawny's garage build on ASN as much as his build for the A3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I was on taxi duty to Plymouth yesterday, so managed to very quickly pop by the car and take a look at the fuse situation. Turns out that it was indeed fuse 38 for the central locking unit, so a nice 5 minute job to remove the additional wiring and put the fuse back to its original location. Didn't get a chance to pop the lock barrel back into the drivers' door due to being pressed for time, but going to swing by this afternoon and take care of that. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to do. I also need to pull out the clocks at some point, as one of the alu dash rings has fallen off from around the fuel gauge which is a tad annoying. Doesn't look too difficult from a brief read online, but we'll see. Gave the car a quick scan with VCDS. Nothing substantial to report, just flagged up a bit of an intermittent issue with n249 readings. Not surprising given the state of the boost hose mentioned in a previous post, so should be yet another relatively straightforward step to getting the car back to the way it should be. Had some pretty funny looks from the military police who lapped the car park a few times. Clearly they thought I was up to something a little dodgy there with wiring and fuses being pulled out and a laptop plugged in! Anyway a few minutes later their van broke down, so I popped over and lent a hand and got chatting to the lads inside. Both totally sound once I'd explained what I was up to. Nice to know that the car is left somewhere with decent security too! Finally, a quick spot the difference for TF: Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
