Had a chance to drive it hard and see if there's a noticeable difference?

Did you have to buy new sway bar bushing brackets, or just new bushings?

my wife was a bit pissed, of course - so was i, i just replaced the radiator two weeks ago but i had done almost 1000km since then with no issue. i dug into it today and found the rear hose on the expansion tank (the one that goes to the heater core) had come off - apparently i did not get it sealed properly, even though i thought i had the spring clip seated - it was about 6mm off. enough to work it's way loose off the o-ring and piss coolant everywhere...

anyway. i'm happy it was something simple, glad it was my fault and not a faulty part. going to clean it up tomorrow, refill and bleed the system. i hope your issue is something simple too.

Glad that she (both of them :) made it home ok and it was an easy fix. Mia copa with the wife this weekend??

looks good! nice and bright. I have smoked corners with standard silver bulbs... no too bright during the day... looks like I could use a set of these too.

Currently undergoing some SERIOUS interior spring cleaning. Psyched to try out the Sonax alcantara cleaner that came in today. But first, the salty beach seats from last summer http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...7f691aed1e.jpg

Afraid to ask what's the tape for. Or was it a water boarding surplus?

Its because i used an upholstery cleaner on the middle of the seats. Was just preventing overspray onto the alcantara that i did second, and the bristles on the brush were were a little stiff. Just precautions.

The Sonax alcantara cleaner works SO good, highly recommended... And go to your local Walmart and pick up a horse hair shoe brush to brush the dirt off and vacuum, and also to help work in the Sonax. I cant believe how night and day it looks. I was sure that my Coby ZHP knob was beyond help, and it looks just shy of new. Only downside is the $25 bottle with shipping is VERY small, but still worth it..
