What Did Your Car Get For Xmas?

Post by Rolebama »

Mine got new front brake hoses, and new battery connections. I have a top cover on order as there is a faulty seal somewhere that is letting the rain in.

Steering swivel bearings and alignment, left rear brake caliper, silencer and battery. A bit pricy when added together, but I plan on keeping this beauty on the road for at least another 10 years.

And of course all the usual annual stuff, fluids and all that.

A new Windscreen!

A new Peugeot-part wiper blade.

And for the first time in my life, some decent quality winter screenwash fluid. Good for -15, it says on the label.
