XF FAIL: today i went and got the carby for the xf after some mucking about swapping missing things onto the new one i was ready to fire it up ran ok has a minor fuel leak wich will get fixed when it goes for a tune i cant do it any tighter without a proper pipe spanner or it will strip. while i had it running the radiator decided enough was enough and started leaking from some new areas then over heated
 all good i thought i had the spare radiator there i pull mine out to find they are different so tomorrow im taking it to the radiator shop where it may be repaired or i will have to order a new one, on the plus side i may have a set of extractors to go on.pics. old carbie   new carbie on  radiator out  old radiator  the two side by side  the one i was going to use is to wide. also some photos from saturday after the gaurd and bonnet got wet sanded and buffed

started wet sanding the ed tonight i got abit excited so i gave a small area a polish then hit it with the wax i think it should come up pretty good. tomorrow me and a mate will finish off the sanding and he will go over it with the buff.
    i ended up getting my radiator repaired they also cleaned it out and pressure tested it.

Ooh not bad. The red striping is looking fairly tired and pink against the new paint now! Any plans to change it?

Any plans to change it? i think its just the dark photos it looks fairly red well i havent paid much attention either  the strip in the rear bar has a few marks on it anyway so i may eventually get around to painting them.

the ed got buffed today and well it didnt go so well few parts didnt really buff up at all and my mate put some burn marks in the back right door and front left gaurd aswell as a couple on some side moulds and melted the edge of the passenger side door handle no pics i just parked it in the shed. No joy with the xf cold start is better but over the last few days the idle has gotten worse wich is getting annoying in stop start driving as now it basically stalls im hopefully going to get it tuned this week if i can. So once i have some money to spend im probably going to drop the ed off at a panel shop and see if they can fix the burn marks in the paint.
i may post photos tomorrow.

well some motorvation kicked in and i decided to have a go at fixing the burns on the clear. i also managed to some what fix the drivers door and doesnt look anywhere near as bad as what it did. i fixed the rear right door as best i could the marks dont stand out anywhere near as bad and from a distance you cant even notice them i now need to look into the left front gaurd.
   roof is looking better now  drivers front door  back right  xf should have a new exhaust this week i hope or possibly next week the guy at the exhaust shop just has to chase up a tail pipe.
