Hello, after 14 years of use and 130,000 km (81,000 m), of which half were in off road. Consider that it was not excessively luxurious replace the original shock absorbers....

Mr Bubbles in Birkenhead (around corner from me) is where I take both my cars (Jimny and z4) and they pressure wash, shampoo, shamy dry, blacken wheels and clean outside windows, and you get a free smelly-thing ... all for a FIVER!!!

Hi Halford

And this is how it should look :-





By the looks of it Solar Window Film is not the best material for what you intended. I used the Sun Visor Strip which is a soft plastic film from Halfords, about £6 but about a £1 cheaper on Ebay. I will not bore you with the details of how to fit it although I must admit I don't have four thumbs and a finger on each hand!

Hi jimkyx

that's what I had in my mind when I tried it :pinch:

well done looks good B)

must admit a "soft plastic film" sounds better able to do the job
plan at some stage to get my rear windows tinted so will wait and get a visor striop at the same time

No just the fan and alternator belt.... As my power steering belt is like New

You have to slip off the power steering belt to remove the fan belt anyway so its worth doing
