What have you been fixing on your car
Discussion
Finally had time to work on my car today in colege to sort out the water leak, found out inlet manafold gasket and water pump needed replacing and also timing belt as the pump runs of it took most of the day but really satisfying to get it done. Atleast being a mechanic i dont have to pay out for labour charges and bills only parts. So what have you needed to fix on your car over the winter?
Stupid question coming up (this is one area of "car fixing stuff" that I haven't dabbled in before):
I've bought some of the electrical circuit paint that you can use to repair gaps in a heated rear window, but do I apply it to the inside or outside of the glass?
The packet doesn't make it clear.

Best part of the job really trade prices, only problem is, is that you work on cars all day and you cant be arsed to work on your own car, luckily enough im in colege this week as im a apprentice so gives me time to do it.Got to change my rear demister switch

I have been fixing very little. I have fitted new mats, clips that hold the mats in place, a new driver side window switch.
The garage has been fitting my old tyres and my new refurbished wheels.

nova got a set of plugs every time it was started due to the cold
Can you explain? I don't really know what you mean.I recently rebuilt both front calipers with seal kits and pistons. Also gave it a bit of a service with plugs, fuel filter, air filters, engine oil and filter, gear and diff oil change, and a new thermostat.
Still a few jobs to do, it could really do with a pair of front discs and the headlight adjuster rod is broken so the lights are a bit high.
I will get to it soon hopefully.
Maybe after fixing the knackered downpipe and balljoints on my pickup and sorting the running problem with the wifes touring.
Its never ending!
