Gave it a second coat this morning. Tortoise sat and watched but didnt offer to help. Probably because its spoilt rotten, so that kind of activity is beneath it. 

Just fitted the new Rad and refitted associated bits & pieces to the Omega. Ran it up to Temp. and it appears water tight, so job jobbed..........I hope. 
Im knackered now. Its no fun getting old.

Still sorting my workshop out, big pile of air cooled VW bits waiting for some one to collect. Found I still have some O mega bits to get rid of, header tank, black plod centre console, rear wiper motor and some odd bits.

[Doctor Gollum]

Was just thinking the same thing

[countrywoman]

Yes I did remember this but I think I only have the outer bit, not sure as its up in the storage in the rafters.

[Doctor Gollum]

The outer bit is about all it would have been disposed of with

Had the headlights on the RRS " restored " to as new condition nice & clear now & it's certainly improved the front end appearance.

The soft plastic on the inside of the front door handles has become gooey and sticky, a bit like plasticine.  I scraped it all out on the drivers door handle and scrubbed the residue out with some solvent which has improved it, but then it started raining so I'll attack the passenger door handle another time. 

I'm pondering buying these to replace them altogether, but not sure of the colour match.

Oh how I hate that soft touch finish.  My car is laden with it, and just when I think I've completely removed it, I find another button somewhere, grrrr.  This weekend, I noted it was the back of the cruise cancel button I'd missed.

My tools of choice are IPA and a microfibre, with cotton buds to get in the corners - obviously with buttons you have to be less harsh than handles, else you scrap off the black coating as well, leaving a white button.

Fortunately there is very little of it on the F generation 5 and 7 Series. Door handle surrounds are the main bit I can think of, most of the switchgear is void of the horrid stuff and you can buy replacement faces relatively easily. The steering wheel (Leather part) on mine will need to be re-coloured at some point - I think the Covid years of hand sanitiser didn't help.

What's IPA TB? 

Not Indian Pale Ale obviously, unless you enjoy a little tipple whilst scrubbing soft touch crap off your car? 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I would guess Isopropyl alcohol ?

[Sir Tigger KC]

I would guess Isopropyl alcohol ?

Ah OK, I was using nail polish remover.

When you've finished your cleaning job, you can mix it with a bottle of ginger ale and have a celebratory tipple.
