Cleared and tested all 4 sunroof channels. Removed front seats & center console to remove front section of the carpet dried it for a day with a heater then Refitted. That was 2 weeks ago.
Today I noticed I've got wet carpets again and it's time to drive it off a cliff. (Hopefully a high 1)
Last year drivers side, this year passenger side. Will this car ever stop peeing me off.
Helped a neighbour take a 2yr old kitchen out and kept it for the man cave.
It's in that good a condition my brother wants it to replace his.

Inadvertently painted the sill white (can of paint squashed In the road)
Decided to introduce WD40 to the paint and remove
Panic was in there somewhere and fury

Shampooed all the seats. After 4 years of dust and dirt from the stables being dragged through the cabin, the seats have come up like new. Well chuffed!!!!!

Done the injector leak off pipe today as its been slightly leaking over the past few days
A bit awkward to get to and fiddly, but fairly easy to do, there was more involved in getting to it than actually removing and fitting the new pipe
Make sure you have a decent set of long nose pliers with an angled nose to remove and refit the pipe retaining clips - and get plenty of spare clips as they are very easy to drop into the bowls of the engine never to be seen again
Leaked stopped

Pressure washed the underside and dislodged one of the parking sensor wires (must have been holding on by a single strand of wire). Had to then remove the rear bumper to solder the wire back together again.
Everything else carried on working which is a good sign for the future.
Also checked the turbo wastegate actuator (was ok) and front sunroof channels (all clear).
