Questions questions

Ahh, the sun is shining and I'm feeling optimistic.

Need a replacement front damper and thinking of attempting this myself...is there much to it? Do I need to do both? Am i just flattering my dubious technical abilities?

As I run on OZ's/48's some of the time I know I should really upgrade, but is this just a waste of money until I finally make it to track?

Second thing...my cill covers are really scuffy and take the look off the interior....anyone else find this, and any (sensible

) suggestions how to fix?
You can get replacements (think about £60 a side) but assuming that they'll just do the same after a few months....

Thirdly..back to the subject of hurricanes and oiling them.....didn't do this when it was fitted- no reference to it in the fitting instructions.....was this an omission?

Lotsa questions

Damper swap = easy peasy and this is me talking!

Two 17 mm spanners IIRC, just undo top bolt and bottom bolt (lots of WD if they are a bit cruddy looking), fitting is reversal of removal and pay attention to which way round the special washers were fitted

But do try to swap a pair if you can, unless it's just a temporary fix.

John Reid knows a guy that re-trims, not sure what he charges for sill covers though. What colour are they? If black, give em a go with some boot polish? Can't say I notice what nick mine are in.

Hurricane, all you need do is buy K&N air filter oil from halfrfauds, give the foam filter part a wash, and then re-oil. Use copius amounts, as IIRC its the oil that filters, with the foam there to hold the oil.

You want to use the prescribed amount - as Greg rightly points out the oil traps the dust particles but too much oil and it can be drawn through into the airstream.

Will do

Sods might have mentioned this with the kit

Does peanut butter oil do the trick here Mac
