My rediscovered enthusiasm for car stuff has continued now that spring has sprung.
Bought a cheapo dual action polisher from Argos and set to work on the Lexus. I used this Auto Finesse "One Step" Compound as it seemed reasonably straightforward. I used the Bilt Hamber Double Speed wax on it, it's a great product and a tin will probably last you years.
This is the only crap photo I have, but I'm happy with the results. It looks very smart indeed.
My parents have put their tourer caravan on a seasonal pitch on the Solway Coast this year so we took a run down over the Easter Weekend for a few nights. Fabia was the steed of choice.
Some scrap in Silloth. We also had a look round the Silloth Motorcycle Museum. It's just basically the bottom of someone's house but there was some really interesting stuff. Free entry but well worth a small donation.
Spied a proud Corsa B owner in Maryport.
On the way up the road we nipped in to the Leadhills Railway and then on Easter Monday the Fabia took us to the Doon Valley Railway running day for a steam train ride and then onwards to Girvan for Ice Cream.
A big weekend for the Fabia. I filled it up on Saturday there and it had done 574.2 miles and used 38 litres of fuel for a frankly obscene 68.69mpg.
What a car.

That is a gorgeous car, looks amazing. Modern classic

I see that sir chose the performance stability passenger side preload weighting option.
A fine choice.

I have a quality* code reader that does SRS and ABS if you're stuck

Same thing happened to mine last month, was the ABS sensor. Helpfully you can't just replace the sensor, it's all part of the hub assembly. Pain in the arse!

I never understand folk like that, especially if it's a stranger they are relying on turning up. First to rock up with the cash takes it

I have driven it a lot today (Bluebird) and it feels like it’s stretched it’s legs so to speak. Engine is healthy, gearbox lovely and snicky and to top it off it’s nice and warm again. Full cooling system renewed and it’s great to enjoy it.
here’s a picture of it dismantled during its long stay away
