Oil change. During oil change, found some bilstein dampeners to have been fitted by previous owner. Nice one.

Also found out left front brake seized/is sticking as per topic in brakes section, so it will get a break until I get it fixed

Resprayed the instrument binnacle satin black last night.It was silver and reflected back on the windscreen just like leaving a sheet of white A4 paper on the dash, very irritation. Anyway problem sorted.

Watched while hubby spent the day getting frozen (despite being in the workshop)and iritated while wiring up the blingy front foglights which have a circular ring light that comes on with the sidelights

Anyway delighted with the job.

gave my little 5 its first service, is it me or is the oil filter in a rediculous place. jammed rags in under it while i screwed it off but still a pain in the arse.took my time doing it in the dark with a hand lamp and a head torch :roll:

also got rid of the maahhhoooosive aerial and stuck on a little billet alluminium one.
coil over cooming soon hopefully :lol:

Agreed about the filter, I find it's best to remove the front right wheel and go in from there.

Filter location agree..... For some reason, standing kind of sideways and reaching in with my left hand (I'm right-handed) seems to work for me... always spill some though....
