The brakes are starting to bed in fine too, topped up the fluid as I was getting the brake light flicker. So before I thought it had a dose of French electrics, I better check on here, Turns out it needed more fluid, it was on the max, but looks like it needs to be right up.
I was hoping to get my tyres at some point, but I have had to fork out for a few things this month. So that's put the budget back again. Rolling Eyes But I have now bought my locking wheel nuts and sorted them out ready for the next big one!
I may look at getting the rear anti roll bar installed at some point, but I really need to turn my attention to my 306, it still needs an oil change! Embarassed Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

The black circle thing is the oil breather. I wouldn't just replace for the sake of it but it might be worth cleaning it out Thumbs Up Matt.

my mate, said I had a brake light out, I thought I had spare light bulbs from my metro and donor mgf, but I didn't. So a little trip to the local autos place and I was in business.
Graftys vents are still going strong and if anything been really good upgrade, with the cold winter. I do need to sort out the gaskets around the front flaps, and the door hinges etc. To make it all gravy, but I am really wanting to push on buying tyres. Smile All ready got my wheel locking nuts, but I am looking at better centre caps. Just for the bling Thumbs Up Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

looks like I have a brake fluid leak, where the rear flexi hose meets the main pipe. So either it needs a nip up or the pipes failing, I still have my brakes though which is odd. I was wanting to get under there tomorrow for a quick turn with the spanners, but the way the weather is, i will have to see what i wake up to tomorrow. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

well I have had a bit of a nip up to see what the story will be, and all seems ok for now. I am not really a fan of these braided hoses at all. So I may bin them off and go for the OEM. Rolling Eyes
Also with the flange bolts going orange, i have decided to throw a cheap little face lift on. just to make it look more tidy Whistle

not even on the car two months!
