Okay, so...
It's been two and a bit months since I last updated this so I've had multiple issues with the car since and I'll probably miss a few!
Since approximately November I've had the TPMS and ABS warning lights popping up on my dash so we VAGcom'd it and it appeared to be a dodgy sensor on the osf. Sensors are £50 so I put it on the back burner until after Christmas (end of January) because as per usual I'm skint. It was irritating the life out of me however because my traction control would kick in around roundabouts or corners and I'd be left with somebody sitting right up my chuff. Woops, sorry! Had to remember to turn my TC off everytime I was in the car. Long story short, bought a sensor, fitted it in February and it was still broken.. Turns out the wire had been caught in the wheel or something and needed a lot of soldering to fix it. Should buy loom at some point to rectify this totally but the light is now off and that's one bit fixed!
Had to drive to my Dads on Christmas day to say hello, collect my presents etc etc.. He gave me £200 which was nice but on the drive back home my suspension decided to give up life completely and the rear end was totally dangerous! Shocks were kaput. On boxing day I grudgingly spent that £200 on new suspension.. Fk's. I also however forgot that my old coilovers included top mounts and I needed to buy those too.. Front's had to wait. New rears were fitted on new year's day and it was so good to drive something without thinking I was going to die.
Was pulled over late November for my number plate too, but the police officer was quite nice about it and told me he would send the fine to the fiscal to see if they would drop it. Of course, they didn't so I had to pay £100 because I prefer how it looks. I also haven't put it back on yet because I'm an idiot. Should probably get around to it.
New front suspension and top mounts were fitted in February too, same time as the osf sensor.. Car drives so much better with the new stuff on, so I can forgive that they're FK's! No more knocking top mounts yay.
Two days ago I turned her on to drive home and it was running on 3 cylinders and seriously unhappy.. Could have cried as all it has done recently is break. Left it at my work and got a lift home and decided to deal with the issue the next day. Plugs and coils are both new so I was dreading the next things to check. Turns out the dipstick had twisted ever so slightly and wasn't tight... That's it. HAAAAHAHAHA
Anyway that's about it for anything car wise but it's only the 3rd month of the year so I'm sure there's loads more to break, fix then break again! Can't wait. Although, my insurance company are trying to double my premium and add some so who knows how much longer Roo will be in my possession... If I can't sort insurance I've got two months left with her before she'll be up for sale at a stupidly cheap price. Nothing good ever happens to me
