What did you do to your mk6/7 today?

[andz327]

No worries . Ain't hard work ,they shine well and its quite easy to maintain . I just wash mine and use spray on wax and leather it dry

Big difference there Mr T, keep up the good work Us blue van owners don't have the oxidation problems we have the nobody sees us problem N

All this talk about polishing made me give the auld girl a wash

Looks very clean and shiny...........hang on is that rain
You still not sorted the headlights out? Why not join the split headlight club. N

A dude on here offered 2 lamps for free as he put new ones on, few DM's back and forth then nothing, several messages on ....still no reply so gave up, I've got one coming from a transit breaker for a score, would have split it open but the mirror reflector parts are fooked aswel as the silver bits
Maybe split it old one open and see if i can squeeze lamps from a mk2 punto into it or something different, talking about headlights.....yours are gash mate, had me HID's in ma mk6 and they worked a treat not like the mk7s that do fook all with hid

I know mate, was going to give you a shout but you seemed very busy cleaning oot and didn't want to annoy you, then seen one at a score so just bought it , your offer was/is much appreciated mate

[dirtydog]

Wouldve been no bother at all mate but yeah cleaning out was a bit of a pain but means it's empty and ready for me to finish ply lining when it comes back

Aye the light omitted from my headlights isn't the best but you don't need bright lights when you drive by feel I might have to address the headlight issue.

Aldershot transit spares will sort you out with your headlights

I think a few mk7 owners have fitted them projector headlights into the mk7 light casing or is that the HID. N

I need some clips which attach the trim to the A post, don't suppose Scottish Transit spares has any of those by any chance

Expensive little fookers from the stealers.There are two sizes per trim I know people who use self tappers in behind the door and a bit of sealer

Tango, just got 4 clips today 2 black 2 white 15 euros inc vat Will post part nos if any help

[Tango330]

That would be great Mate I'll check the part number and if they're right, I'll have them off you

No polishing today, as by the time I'd cut the grass it was pishing down

This arrived though, as recommended by Jo and Jo at TM

Comes with a plug to plug into diagnostics socket, and was producing a charge even inside the house, well pleased

Got replacement intercooler fitted in the pissing rain and now I got a cold.

Why the f*** does Ford fit bloody christmas tree trim clips to hold some pointless plastic to the rad/intercooler mounting plate that makes a straightforward in n out job a pain in the arse.

I broke them all

No worries, just drop me a pm if/when you need it and I'll get it posted


I've done nothing to my mk7 as it's still being fixed lol. Although I am quite liking driving round in the custom except the break pedal feels too high and makes my leg ache if I'm in traffic
