Dazza's Maintenance Thread
dazza:
Started my major service yesterday.
Finally a DIY that i didn't balls up after having to refit the rocker cover 3 times i was very unmotivated.
Fitted a new oil pickup pipe.
Magnetic sump plug.
Topped up with Nano Drive 5W40.
Will switch the cam follower tomorrow.
Next week i will start on the cambelt, water pump, Main stat and 2 inline stats :evilgrin:
Shoduchi:
Good job there! :congrats:
The oil pickup pipe was a bit clogged. I have no idea how they normally look like... :confused:
dazza:
TBH don't think it needed doing i really thought it would be worse than this.
dazza:
Cam belt, main stat and inline stat changed.

dazza:
I've mentioned dr color chip before. Seeing as i put a couple of nice chips in my wing when doing the cam belt.
Thought i would share.
The Road Rash Paint Chip Repair Kit includes:
1oz bottle of OEM match paint
4oz of SealAct blending solution
1 ultra paint brush
2 microbrushes
1 microfiber towel
1 nitrile glove
1 white blending cloth
1 instruction sheet
The chip.
I gave the panel a wipe with quick detailer then cleaned out the chip with an alcohol wipe.
I know it wont be perfect my goal here was to get the chip filled and flush with the rest of the paint. The last owner of my car was a blober the touch ups he has done look sh*t.
I used the blob, smear and level technic as per the instructions.
See gif below.
The finished result. The chip is pretty level. Once its dry i will try blending it a bit with the orbital polisher.
Will have a go at the other chip later.
