What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Not really PCV needs to go to inlet manifold so it draws fume out at idle. Needs one way valve as well. Breather goes to intake.

You can run how you like, but when the plod takes a look......

Doesn't it already have a valve?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Yeah the pcv has a valve, but it's a pos disc style valve that's barely capable of maintaining stock boost pressure

I've noticed that, Ford have a revised metal one (link above), anybody had issues with these? I purchased one, gonna put it in soon.

Washed it on a 40 degree day and taking for a drive expecting it not to rain... oh how wrong I was

Least you wouldn't need to chamois it in this heat..

Booked it into Malaga suspensions on the 4th Dec to get the control blade (did I mention I fried my control blade bushes at my FPV drive day?) and diff bushes done. Already have some Whiteline control blade bushes from when I bought the spare blades to modify so they'll go in and going to go with super pro comp spec front diff bushes and give the new Nolathane rear bush a whirl. That setup, in theory, should lock the front of the diff down nicely and allow enough movement in the rear that it won't snap the bolt or shatter the hat...and HOPEFULLY be quieter than the super pro solid rear, which is farking noisey! And get rid of my axle tramp!

Similar logic to the tech doc CAT600 wrote up, but I've been into two shops in Perth now who have had guys come in with his front bushes fitted, not been happy (they fit loosely as they aren't pressed in and so move around and clunk and bang) and replaced them with either Nolathane or super pro. So figure I'd go with the solid super pro fronts (which I noticed no added NVH with when fitted to my old car, that all came front the solid rear) and new Nolathane rear, which is a similar design to the super pro fronts as it turns out. There's also a member on here who used this logic but fitted the super pro comfort rear who said it was quiet as a mouse, but killed the comfort rear bush very quickly...so here's to hoping my planned setup works!

Took the ute out for a proper spin since fixing the clutch (melbourne weather). Felt great and super strong. Having tread issues now

Good to hear you stuck with the manual! - need video's of said "tread problems"

[Never had any say Panda]

Took it for a drive and spotted the front discs with the laser thermometer.. Left disc reading over 100 degrees hotter than the right disc..

Definitely going back to mechanics tomorrow..

Neat trick! Unless you were just doing a constant circle in one direction hahaha.

Bought 1L of power steering fluid at Ford and put 900mL through my system by syringing it out of the reservoir. Feels noticeably lighter. Should though, I haven't done it since I bought the car...anyone know what capacity the whole PS system is? It's still pretty black.
