    So, there's been a little bit going on with my fleet of late. I fitted the Powerflex rear beam bushes to the Corsa, definitely makes a difference, but could still be better. Also fitted the AEM wideband O2 gauge as well. Combo, not much has changed, but there's a Corsa B GSi sitting in front of it, donating some parts to the Combo's cause. The Beamer hasn't really been touched, but it's getting a new set of eyes next week (when they get here).

    And the Transit. Well, at 124,000 I have gotten a warning coming up saying "Engine Malfunction - Service Now", thought I'd check the codes, P0048 Boost Control Solenoid Out of Range high reading. Take it into Ford dealer, where that today they isolated the issue down to a faulty electronic wastegate actuator. Thing is, you can't replace the actuator without replacing the entire turbo (I'm guessing each one might be specifically calibrated for each turbo). That's okay with me, it's still under warranty until 200,000kms, so it's not costing me. Well, it is in terms of hiring a van and the fact the Transit's also getting a 120k service along with new brakes, but still it could be much worse.

    HUH ?! They better redesign as a fault under warranty period is expensive for them. Ah well, new turbo then.

    The turbo used on the 2.2 CYF4 Duratorq engine is a Garrett GT1749VK, the V being for a variable nozzle (or geometry) turbine and the K for electronic actuator. I'm guessing the electronic actuator itself is possibly somewhat "paired" or calibrated with each turbo. Can't really see much of an advantage in it over a mechanical actuator to be honest. But yeah, I'm glad they're doing it and not me. FWD van with the turbo mounted between engine and firewall, that's gonna be fun.

    Well after around 9 months of having the headlining being held up mainly from thumb tacks. I finally decided while on holidays to getting it fixed.
    A bit of googling 1st to see how everything came off. So I didn't break or snap anything.
    Had a look at Spotlight to see what would be suitable, as I had decided on having Black. As the original colour was light Grey. I know some won't like the black. But I actually prefer it.
    The material I got is a Faux Suede. Which was on special for $14 a meter. 2 mtrs was plenty. Also used Sellys Kwik Grip Vertical. Which is good for temps up to 130c.
    Since I had some material left over. I also covered the A pillar pieces with the suede, so it blends in from the dash through to the headlining.
    Total cost $60. Took me over a week, due to finding time. But it could easily done in 2-3 days. 1st day to remove, clean & glue the material. 2nd day to trim & refit to the car.

    Cheers. Was the 1st time that I've ever tackled anything like this.
    I got a 1lt tin of Kwik Grip from Bunnings for around $25. Used just over half of that
    Started with just the middle 1st till around 20cm from the edges. Got that all smoothed out with a credit card. As you can see in the pic
    Then done the outside, so I could form around the curves & indents from the grab handles & sunvisor
