Just got Cesil out of storage and took him straight on a run to DN10. On track, although I took it steady, he was epic. Reminded me of why I sold the GTR instead of him. Great to meet some people from here too.
Anyway, as to be expected, there are a couple of niggles after a year of being locked up and some things to get sorted. Any advice welcome.
- Left rear handbrake: I think it's sticking and ended up tripping out the DSC, so I was forced to drive the Ring with no DSC and the two warning lights lit up
- Steering wheel: Needs a retrim. Send it to Royals, correct?
- Kickplates: Basically need replacing. I don't think they can be refurbed. Looks like I'll have to order some new ones.
- Rear seat plastic: Both the plastic centre console and the rear seat back have lost some of the plastic covering and look scruffy. BMW will charge me a fortune for new ones. I know some people on here have refurbed theirs. Any recommendations please?
- Windscreen: Currently has two chips. I need to replace it, but am concerned about replacing with a cheapo version. I doubt that my insurers will cover an original replacement part?
- Flippers: Looking tired and need relacquering. Simpsons?
Any advice welcome. Also, here's a lap of me at the Ring, with my mate Dan following and (not unfairly) slagging off my driving.
