What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?

Very tidy Mike

Today mines getting an oil and filter, and i gotta sort the LIM link arm out, and clean the IACV and IAT and TB (sigh) bloody never ending, but the old girl is doing me proud as now got 125k on from 72k when i found her........
oh and hopefully get the repainted spoiler back in the next week or so
 
Yesterday I gave mine a wash & vac and fashioned a cover from a couple of large plastic sheets we use at work. She got covered in bird poop and dead insects pretty quick being stored in an open-doored farm barn (n)
Still for sale . . .
 
Drove it today for the first time since Ford Fair as I had to go and collect a bike that I wasn't confident would fit in Das Audi. A quick check of the map told me my route involved some twisty little country roads so I thought "Sod it", brimmed it with petrol and gave it a damn good spanking to blow the cobwebs out. Loved it!

EDIT:

And yes, going through the Clyde Tunnel, I opened both windows, dropped it to 2nd and floored it just so I could listen to the engine sing. I'm a complete child and I don't care!

Regarding the window trim (above) I've taken a different approach courtesy of the awesome Shirtyzeus. These ones were cleaned up by him and painted with blackboard paint believe it or not, and they look spectacular. :edit: He did his own ones a couple of years ago and they're still pristine, so it's definitely a good approach, if a little unorthodox.

I'll give him Tiger's old ones to restore, so if anyone wants to go the same route, perhaps we could have some sort of exchange programme like we seem to for subframes!

Its not so much what I have done to the car today, as to what my wife did to it.
This is what was happening, the central locking was working one minute then nothing at all the next, this has been going on since last week, we went out today and again the central locking was not working, just use the key until it stops raining and I could look into the problem, as I know it wasn't the remote battery.
Anyway, on the was home I noticed that the alarm light was flashing away, I had an idea, it must be a good idea as I had thought of it, thinking back it did seemed a good idea at the time.
I asked the wife to raise her left foot sharply, nothing kinky, just her foot was just below the fuse box.
That's when all hell broke loose, the horn went off, so did the hazards, on a busy country lane with no turn off's and in traffic, with nowhere to hide luckily only a mile or so from home, so I could stop and reset the alarm, she still reckons its my fault.
Now the central locking and alarm system is working again, I fixed it.
