Optimus went into the quacks this morning with the ABS and STC service lights on 
hopefully just a knackered ABS ring.
Been flashing on and off the for the last few weeks but had enough of it keep cutting the cruise out on the motorway.
EDIT: Turned out to be 2 rather corroded ABS rings.

Still need to get some aldi shoe polish!!!!
Looking well there Martin.
Still?Looking well there Martin.
I'll be honest - I've had the bumper trims, front and back, off and resprayed them in satin black recently so they look extra nice. The door trims however, are just boot polish and megs tyre gel still.
Is it wrong that I also keep looking at p1800 projects on ebay... there just so damn expensive!
Cheeky day off work to have the broadband installed. So while waiting around for the engineers to turn up... (which one still hasn't yet!) I thought I'd take the opportunity to prime Optimus with a 3 stage mop and polish.
Managed to get the rinse,wash, dry and polish done before the first lot of rain.
In I went for a cuppa.
Sun came out again so back out to dry the car for a 2nd time. Then got the poor boys black hole on and did the trims before... you guessed it! it rained again.
At that point about 11:30am I went in for brunch.
Brunch done and the sun back again, out it was to dry the car down for the 3rd time. In between a few spots managed to get some high gloss sealant on and a good coat of poor boys nattys blue wax. To finish a good hoover inside and some glass polish.
6 hours work and it's raining again!!!!! Bloody weather....

Rich, check back a few pages for Martin's tip about blacking up the plastic bumper trim as well.
Then a few more pics please once the wheels are on.
Haha yes! I need to sort that too. I know about the heatgun/hair dryer thing but I'll have a look back thanks Then a few more pics please once the wheels are on.
I'll get the pics of the interior and when the wheels are on as soon as
You can get it from anywhere really but I got mine from the poundland, for, you guessed it!
Clean the car as normal, once dry, go over the car with the shoe polish, let it soak in for a while them hit it with some trim restorer.
Jobs a good'en.
seeing that has made me think about dropping mine even more now!
