Well I went to take the car for a drive and the damn headliner fabric was hanging down. Garage kept too. Nothing like driving a $100k car with the fabric blowing in the breeze. So I removed the headliner, stripped all the fabric and foam off and glued a contrasting charcoal colored faux suede to it. Looks the beans! Total cost: $35.

 

 

Wow that guy did a nice job!

 

I bow to the master

 

BTW if you ever do this, DO NOT use the drill/sander. Too much. Ended up a wire brush did the trick perfectly. Tedious but once removed it goes on easy. Just use a stretchable fabric.

 

Beautiful job! When mine fell a couple of months ago, I was too lazy to pull it all the way off. I got a paint syringe fill it with fabric glue, poked little holes about every six inches and deposited some glue. Yes it looks somewhat quilted and someday I'll pull it down and redo it, but for now, at least, it doesn't hit my head, and I don't notice it if I don't look up.

 

Treated mine to full valet

 

After reading about doing this job for over a year I figured it was about to do it. I gathered all the needed items even the wife’s sacrificial glass measuring cup, long arm 3/16” allen, turkey injector, tygon tubing, and 2 bottles of GM sprchgr oil. By then it was in the 90’s and I got after it.







After I placed hood in service position lots of room there now. Stuffed a rag in the lower area below fill hole. I just couldn’t get that 3/16 in the drain / fill plug hole. I had a long arm 4.5mm that actually broke it loose. Scared me. I thought I stripped it. I used that long screw starter to remove the plug after breaking loose. Well after 8 turkey injector full later it was all I could get. Read about using a WD40 lube tube to remove last little bit but I just used smaller size tygon and got 7+ oz out. I had just under 1/2oz of new fluid left in bottle

Not a bad job at all about 1 1/2 hours and all for under $40. The oil was black with an slight odor. Since this was the last area for new fluid I had to do it. 74,640 miles on the car.

Well done bet the car runs a lot smoother . it looks a piece of cake to do on the early x150s no so on the 5l cars

 

Hi guy, yesterday i've change my a/c compressor. I've use technical manual it"s long but it's ok.
I've install wheel spacers (20mm front and 15 mm rear). Very nice.
Here TUTO

 

Very nice with the A/C.

How do the spacers look? Any rubbing?

 

Here spacers :


For compressor OEM is Denso 7SEU17C but i've put a Behr Hella 8FK 351 114-991 and the receiver drier is Behr Hella réf. 8FT 351 198-691

 

I finished a dash project I’ve been working on. I never liked the finish on the vents on my ‘09 XK and admired the silver vents on the 2012+ cars. I was able to find left and right vents for a great price from Pacific Motors. Center vents are tough to find, so I airbrushed my center vent in gloss black to coordinate with the black 2012+ control panel fascia I found. Seat controls and window switches are changed to the black ones. All this after having my dash leather repaired. I used “The Trim Shop” in Newark, Delaware. Highly recommend. Dan removed the windshield to repair the leather for under $500.00. While he had it, he opened the top halfway, remove a plate at the rear edge to reinstall a neoprene band that holds the edge of the top down at the rear along the top of the trunk. No charge...nice guy.

 

Arenaej, looks good... Just for clarification, the vent color change must have been from 2010+ because I have the same light silver vents in my '10...

 

I painted my calipers

 

I got a speeding ticket. Actual conversation with police officer,

"I was going to grab the green Dodge but then you pulled away."
"Sorry."
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
"Nope."

I do now.

 

Nicely done! PM me if you'd like a set of Heritage logo center caps to match the logo on your calipers. I bought extras as spares because they were standard equipment on my 2009 XKR Portfolio.

 

New puddle lights...beautiful. @$10 delivered. Saw these back a few pages previous posted info.

That a reflection in door on the right.

Passed my emissions test.
First time out of the garage all summer, maybe longer. Been too busy with work and a family health issue (can’t fit a wheelchair in the boot of a ‘vert).
