Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

I made a list of what I have to do to the car before covering it for the winter;

Change oil and filter. I have the oil and filter. (DONE)

Change engine coolant, its been there since November '03. Must buy.

Install oil catch can hoses, the can is in but I got distracted.

Install the expensive cheap plastic bin in place of the expensive cup holder. I had the emergency brake rubber handle half off, but I got distracted. (DONE)

Wash the car for the fifth time this year, a record.

Check why the bulb out indicator comes on for a few seconds once in a while when switching the car off.

Change headlight high beam bulbs to 65W. Osram Rallye's.


This bulb, for racing and special-service usage, is the highest-output, most efficient H7 available from anyone!. This is a 65-watt bulb (10 more than an ordinary H7) that produces 2100 lumen (700 more than an ordinary H7). Same 500-hour rated lifespan as a good quality standard H7 bulb. Perfect upgrade for motorcycles, racing headlamps, diving lights, agricultural and industrial work lamps.

Note: This product has clear glass and is a direct import from Europe. Beware of Ebay product pictured with blue-coated glass as they are not genuine.

Standard H7: 55w, 1400 lumens, 500 hours
H7 rallye+65: 65w, 2100 lumens, 500 hours


Have a look at the UltraGauge readings and figure out what they mean.

Sell the two engine covers that I got in error before I got the correct one.

Sell the V8 front piece for the engine cover that I got for free before I got the correct one.

Check for rust under the doors, OK last year.

Fill with gas and add some stabilizer.

Pump up tires to a higher pressure.


Looks a little too much to do, some of these will be on next years list I think.
