My poor TL was looking a bit sorry for itself a couple of months ago; using it as an everyday tool in all weathers was giving the ol' girl a proper hammering.
I took her off the road for a bit and did a few jobs:
Changed the tyres (Pilot Road 3's)
Changed the head bearings (bit notchy)
Rebuilt the front calipers
Rebuilt the clutch master cylinder
Replaced the clutch slave cylinder
Replaced the pushrod oil seal
Checked the valve clearances (no adjustments required)
Replaced the two exhaust gaskets for the RHS pipe (graphite one was in pieces again)
Replaced the Fuel aftermarket cans with OEM ones
Fitted the wiring for my heated jacket
Replaced a couple of blown bulbs
Repaired a few dodgy wiring connections
Gave it a clean (first one for a long time!)
Changed the oil & oil filter
Changed the air filter for an OEM one
Here she was last Saturday after being put back together:
