Fitted and treated the leather interior. Pretty easy job if the truth be told. Less than 2 hours to fit including the door cards (I suppose it helped that I know how it all come apart anyway). Might tackle the heated seats soon but as i need switches and the looms It might be a bigger job than the entire interior fit out.
Going to have a go at fitting the sport cat today.

Sorry I don't understand, Co codamol is good for pain relief but not everyday functioning.
It’s John Cooper Clarke, he does lots of odd poetry.

I think it sounds like the start of some of his work:

It really should be driven, but when I do my hand creaks.

Let's keep the JCC theme going:

They say Scirocco is a wind but hand on heart
Driving the car doesn't make me fart.

I took The Compact for a short drive today for vital supplies - crisps & peach schnapps from Sainsbury’s.

Firstly, it started perfectly despite not having been touched for weeks or possibly months.

Secondly, it’s still on the ancient rock-hard gravel tyres that came free with the wheels. As long as you’re expecting it they’re hilariously bad on the road. Second gear, not even 50% throttle on a roundabout and the back floats around really smoothly. I need to drive it more often.

Nineties BMWs are brill 8-)

Didn’t go quite to plan, after a bit of fiddling and farting around I liberated the old standard cat only to realise I’d ordered a centre pipe gasket and not the downpipe one (did have the new dump pipe to turbo one), so it’s currently sitting on axle stands on the drive waiting for Subaru parts to be open on Monday as hopefully they’ll have one on the shelf as it only needs booting up tight now. Wasn’t too bad to do although I had to modify a 14mm ring spanner with a hammer (to add a dog leg kink) and grinder (cut off the open end so I could get on an extension tube for extra leverage on 2 nuts.

Off to pick up the Discovery tommorow, 150 mile each way, could be interesting :lol:

Volvo is absolutely spot on now, I love it, so comfy, yet now it handles and goes so much better than standard.

Goodyear Eagle F1s just fitted all round after years of Michelin Crossclimates. I thought the CCs were pretty decent on the dry but I think I'd just got used to them, steering is so much more direct now, and it also rides better weirdly, even though I've gone from 17's to 18's and from 7 to 8 inch width?

Brand new headlamps made a night and day difference, to both looks and visibility at night, thinking of trying some H9 LEDs in the main beam, anyone had any experience of them?
