Well it's been a while! The Prancing Moose needed some tlc...
1. New front brake discs & pads. Found my front-left disc was missing the little screw that holds the disc in.... Oops. Four new little screws all round. Definitely answers what the sound coming from over that side of the car was.
2. Two of three tubes from the IPD HD TCV installed. Now I've found where the lower one plugs into by getting under the car & that will be going on next weekend.
3. Degreased around the power steering reservoir & down that side of the engine. My engine doesn't use oil & the power steering is always full yet there's always little leaks & sticky power steering fluid on that side of the engine bay - it's like owning an Alfa sometimes!
4. Checked for negative pressure at the oil filler cap - yes (doing the PCV looks daunting).
5. Washed the car.
Still pondering:
1. Replacing the power steering reservoir
2. Replacing the coolant expansion tank - sometimes it just empties but I never find a puddle.....
3. Ordering the subframe bushes & the inserts IPD have.
4. Planning to clean the MAF & ETM
5. Ting to diagnose why the fuel consumption went from 9.1L/100k to 11.9L/100k (25-26mpg to 19-20mpg) a while back. I have new coils, new air filter, new spark plugs, same tires. Killing me
