Bastards. This was from 06

First cabin air filter change in my golf's life I reckon. One of my best mates helped me do the service (did 90% of it) and it went really well

subbed. I looked at one of these on ebay but it went too quickly.
Some inspiration

Yes please - replied on cricket thread too as I saw this after. Can PM you my email address? Will send you a case of beers or make a donation to the forum :)

i have one of these which is of great sentimental value to me so I'd have it for spares if you were giving it away please. Don't live in LDN at the moment so could either transfer you for post or get it on a future lfgss bikepacking weekend or something :)

yes please!!!

There is a euro car parts near me and it was only £6. Could easily swap it for a Fram/Bosch or Mann one before I do it or shall I just look out for a TPS one next time?

@BrickMan noted, cheers. Bought the wrong size engine air filter, but I am happy because it is relatively clean and hopefully indicates it has been looked after. I have no/little history for it.

Managed to get stuff to service the golf I introduced on here for £60 ish, saving me about £150 from going to a garage. Also found a tutorial on how to service my exact model on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmE2gFTaqmg
and got a Haynes manual

@kboy thanks so much. May just go one colour after all but if I do try 2 will definitely do that and post the result :)

will do cheers

that looks ace

thanks all! My room might be too small to do it but i have some time off and there is blue tac marks all over my wall on the desk side, so it definitely needs painting. Quick google/ yt suggests either spirit level or measuring up the wall at 15cm intervals to ensure its a straight line, and do start with the top part.
looked at a blue and then an olive main colour today but I think two dark colours would be too much.

anyone painted a bedroom two tone? other than tape and eyeballing it, how else could I ensure a good horizontal line? First time painting a room lol. Cheers

(my alkin accompanied me on holiday, as it does most places)

Watch Friday in Cologne. Pawn shops quite interesting and lots of omega/tag watches in there. Popped into and had a nice chat with the Swatch group's AD.
BB58 €3480 in another AD, which is a lot more than the UK even with the rubbish exchange rate (I think).

talking watches with Ben Clymer (2nd part - 1st part wasn't as good)

@BrickMan noticed some more rust today when cleaning it, for example here on the O/S front wheel arch. Will research what I can do to treat it whilst I have time.
Going to try and do the filters and an oil change asap, found a kit for £50 on eBay.
My nan helped (did it all) to stitch up a rip in the seat today

@inchpincher @ejay2.0 that's the one, cheers

@freddo cheers for the info. Looks so nice in this colourway (https://www.omegawatches.com/en-gb/watch-omega-speedmaster-automatic-date-st-175-0043) and I love the size so that's a shame about the movement :(

@ejay2.0 nice! Do you know the ref by any chance plz?

@TGR I was mildly inebriated! Hard to explain. Didn't expect to see this particular guy having it, but it was a birthday present. And I only thought it might be fake because of salience/reading all the discussions in here recently and it not looking like most speedmasters!

A friend had this on last night. Apologies for the blurry photo - I had had a few by this point.
He said it was from 1990 and was really proud of it, but following this recent chat and having never seen a speedmaster like it, I was skeptical. Anyway tried it on and it felt really nice, maybe 39mm ish. Chrono worked perfectly and it all looked lovely

@el_presidente I agree. I rang then as you suggested, apparently no other advisories (advisories on the old one I mentioned were done by the previous owner) and the welding was done to the outside. Will send a picture of the welding when I pick it up tomorrow.
So no need to change the seals and it shouldn't happen again hopefully

I agree with @freddo and appreciate the game theory reference.
