Some planned spending this month, also some unplanned.
Planned:
"” wheel refurb by The Wheel Specialist Nottingham: OE Silver - looks great but a couple of isolated defects where something has floated onto the lacquer whilst drying. Offered to re-do them. Lesson learned - don't collect car from a job like that in the pouring rain (doesn't make inspecting the wheels a very thorough job)
"” £15 ebay centre caps fitted to the refurbed wheels. The first crest had fallen out by the time I got home (30 miles) :roll: Glad I kept the OE ones. 2 others have followed suit - you get what pay for (might try clear laquer on them if there's a next time)
"” Gtechniq c1 wheel sealant applied (meant to make washing much easier - although my car is barely dirty between washes)
"” 997 GT3 brake cooling ducts fitted front and rear (£20 from OPC :thumb: )
"” Dot5.1 brake fluid (first time on track next week - Donington)
"” Full geo alignment (it was barely out so a little unnecessary)
"” Switched to Millers Nano 10w50 now I'm on 66k miles.
Unplanned expenditure: :nooo:
"” Front coffin arms replaced following shock MoT fail on one ball joint. (Unblemished MoT history now tainted)
"” Coil pack 2 replaced
"” Coolant topped up
"” Coolant expansion tank cap replaced
Weeping coolant pipe diagnosed (will be monitored)
Feeling a bit skint but it's great to have a healthy car again - I've been pretty miserable.
Next month the multicar
Insurance is due - another grand :frustrated:
... and Road tax next month.
