Road tax time again!!!!
« on: 09 November 2018, 08:53:29 AM »
Oh well, I've just paid my annual £290 for the second time since I acquired the Aero in December last year!! Can't believe that time has flown by already, and I have actually used the car not very much!!!

I think all I've had done since I've had it is:

Had it serviced
Cleaned out the blocked plenum drain tube
Cleaned the MAF sensor
Disinfected the aircon
Had rear parking sensors fitted
Had the sticking drivers seatbelt replaced with another
Got two new tyres on the rear
Fitted new Saab centre caps to the alloys
Got the car through the MOT!!
Sanded down the wheelarch blisters and treated with Hydrate 80 rust converter
Got some second hand bigger front calipers refurbished (not yet on car)

Still waiting to be done:
Get CV boot replaced (MOT advisory)
Get transmission fluid changed (already have it)
Sort out rattling glovebox
Sort out creaking centre console (got some anti squeak oil)
Clean throttle body
Have another go at cleaning out/disinfecting aircon
Have new rear discs and pads fitted (already have them)
At some point in the future, fit bigger front discs, back plates and refurbed calipers
Fit folding wing mirrors (already have them)
Spray and fit front Aero front splitter (already have it, but in silver instead of black)
Get idle vibration investigated (mount or balance chain etc?)
Get rear wings repainted post rust removal
Get a replacement drivers side front wing in 170 black to replace a previously botched repaired one!!!
Get drivers seat leather repaired
Sort out intermittent Amp1 issue
Remap!!!!!

Should keep me going for the next five years, given the way the missus drains any free time I may have to do other things, or go places/on holiday etc!!!!

Encourage her to develop her own interests.  Then she might go out without you and forget to leave you a list of jobs!! :)
