Frenzy

Got my motor back from the stealers having taken it in to get the ABS sensor replaced (ESP failure G201 fault code). It somehow took them 2 and a bit days to do it but i had no complaints as it was FOC - a good job as they reckoned on the audit bill that the work had come to £1,050!  :confused: I was under the impression that this job was about £600 these days but as i say i care not a jot as it was FOC (probable that most of that bill was labour costs cause the technician was obviously dicking about taking more than 2 days to do what is approx 1/2 day job).

I foolishly forgot to tell the stealers not to wash my car so i was gutted when i turned up to collect her and saw she wasn't dirty like i had left her  :evilgrin: Fortunately i couldn't see any glaring swirl marks or nasty hologramming from the sun (well at least not above and beyond the mild amount of marks that have always been there) but they'd stripped off any protection she had as when i rinsed her there was no beading whatsoever...

So i then treated her to a 2BM wash, including the wheels, sealed the wheels and gave her a wax after QD prep  :love:

Changed the oil, sorted out the brake sensor fault (wire had broken off) got my interior light working and spent 2 hours trying to remove my front shock so i could fit my lowering springs  :sad1:

Fitted a DAB sharkfin and WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN. Talk about a massive PITA. What makes it even worse is the DAB signal strength seem is showing as weak  :confused:

Sounds like a PITA. Did you test the aerial pre install?

Keep the distance to the car in front... In Stockholm they drive like car thiefs... I live in Uppsala 8 miles north of Stockholm...! Boring weather here now....
