	Oh how i love doing the same job 3 times.. Engine mount was replaced just after o bought the car. Went for a motorfactor el cheapo brand. The interior noise problem was reduced but never seemed quite right. 4 months on. Interior noise back as bad as ever. I have stopped being a cheap skate and gone for a brand new OE ford mount. Noise gone. Bettwr than ever! Success.

	4 spoke steering wheel with cruise control buttons fitted. Forscan and ELM427 purchased. www.amazon.co.uk/FORScan-Adapter-diagnostic-Diagnostic-Vehicles/dp/B0BCG236N2/ref=asc_df_B0BCG236N2/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=658790319296&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5363039439864475656&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046396&hvtargid=pla-1876313028608&mcid=ffa7582b874839b2bf8218acac3dbca3&th=1 4 hours of computering! One scary moment when i wiped the immobiliser and the car wouldn't start! Flat battery from sitting with the ignition on for 4 hours. Cruise control enabled! I now have software to enable/ disable any factory ford option which is great for the grand total of £22.00 Pictures to follow of a boring standard steering wheel.

	More wheels. BBS RX's in 17" flavour, all being well collected tonight. Refurbed. On the car for the better weather. Current Volvo wheels are not as straight as you might hope and about ready for new tyres anyway. Now lowering or no...

	Collected. 4 premium tyres in 2 different sizes all with plenty of life. Not bad for £50. Let the sanding commence...

	New gearbox, new clutch, new lower arms, new wheels and tyres. Back on the road for another year.... hopefully. Lowering may be required.

	£30 for the pair. Would be rude not to. Even if the colour isn't my first choice. Cleaned with the carpet cleaner since the photo and look almost new.

	Both rear lower arch corners and 5 inches of inner and outer sill replaced. I am amazed at how invisible the repairs are considering it was done with an Aldi welder some offcuts of flat 1mm steel, the worlds oldest etch primer and a random can of not metallic black paint I had in the garage. Solid, Looks fairly okay. Back to dailying!

	Great repair, I have done similar on my 2007 Fiesta and found that hammerite smooth silver in a spray can is a great match and is virtually invisible, especially as I clean it once every five years whether it needs it or not!

	Bit of needless detailing. Clean, Clay, many stages of polish, Fuso wax and a bit of Chemical guys spray to finish. Normally reserved for the other halfs cars but as the arch repair went so well.... Oh and i put a silly exhaust on it.
