What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?

Took off each wheel in turn and cleaned it completely. As I was doing that, I tore down each wheel arch liner and cleaned and waxed behind it.

This took about 3 hours and earned me about 3lbs of mud. From two years' worth of driving, (I tore them down just after I bought it).

There's something oddly satisfying about cleaning the inside of your wheels

I agree. In my house, we call it, "going the full Morris". :LOL:

No but seriously, your cleanup thread did inspire me and I do think it makes a difference overall. Sadly they've been left too long so are far from perfect. Not bad though.

On the plus side I got a good look at the belly and subframes, and the Bilthamber stuff is definitely doing the job. On the minus side, I seem to be losing my exhaust heat-shield. I did wonder why the transmission tunnel was starting to get a bit toasty!

I'll take the injectors and leave the mud if that's okay with you!

Oh - and your inbox is full mate.
 
I have fitted a replacement lower engine mount, tightened up the front mount (which appears to be my problem) and temporarily bodge-fixed my hunting idle/power loss issue by fitting a better breather hose; will be replacing that with a silicon ASH jobbie mid-week and then replacing the full run of this very odd pipe when the donkey is out. :D
 
Not my cougar (as I don't have one...yet) but the fiesta
Tinted windows all round, polished tail pipe, new tax disc holder and a good wash (which goes against the whole rat look ethos)
