What did you do to your MK1 today?
My little guy 'Scrat' went for his MOT this morning, -8 degrees where I live in Austria at 7:00am.
Battery was dead of course because he's not been driven for ten days and in these cold temperatures well what do you expect from a three year old battery.
Past with flying colours for the 5th year in a row.
Did have five advisors but there're the same five for the past five years because my workshop has to write something down or it looks a little suspicious if they were ever checked. Not even sure MOT testers back home would even notice or comment on them, like there's light rusting (rust spots) on the lower half front suspension spring D/S etc…
So this weekend he's off to the garage for a few months of hibernation and in spring he'll get a new battery and a couple of special treats no doubt!
Because as many of you who know me 2017 will most likely be the last year I own him so a very special polishing etc…

Took the Golf for a little spin yesterday. (after putting a new fence post in & getting a heat gun on the postcrete
) not been started for 2 weeks, through the minus temps too, no probs, fired up fine, nice & dry so took it for a blast on the M4
had some twist necked views & some stares… why can't people nod or just look away??
Also spoke to my wheel refurb guy & said i wanted the rims back before Xmas…
Things left to do:
Rims & fit rim protectors (front)
Rubber bellows between A pillar & door (door card off job)
Mudflaps
Wax oil.
May even get new front door speakers as the rears have been renewed…
Done.

Coolant change ready for the much harder weather. Gave it a flush at the same time and cleaned the expansion tank. Pressure bleed of the brake fluid for nice fresh dot 4 in place of f the black ugly stuff. Looks no different and drives no different but I feel better.

Tried to swap my headlights out only to find out the crosshairs replaced the housing and bulb with a one piece item. Have to find replament housings. Doh.
Also took a picture of the new red winter wheels in the daylight
I'd really like to find some 13x7 Revolution RFX wheels. Hopefully I will soon!

Today I plan on driving topless, as it is to be 70f here.
Yes the top is up to allow the canvas to dry. Drove it down the road at 70mph, and the top was dry by the time I got home.
Air Drier.
