I hate blue cars actually. But this blue is something else, looks like not blue at all.

Looks lovely, but are those 20" turbines ?

If so, be careful with them as they are non-genuine and therefore of unknown quality.....

Yes I know. Probably made in China. But looks nice and one year in use without any problem (and another year with previous owner). Once drive even 200km/h with these (I didnt think at all about anything can happend with wheels).
Genuine wheels use with winter tyres.

Well, one year at the moment in my hand. Whats done during a year of own and 15000km?

In service:

1) Turbo drain mode.

2) Gearbox flush.

3) Front differential left driveshaft seal.

4) Front lower levers and couple silents on back.

DIY:

1) Full liquids change (axels, transfer case, coolant), change with flush (engine, power steering, brakes). Right air ilter. Fuel filter, cabin air filter.

2) Webasto replace (brand new, analog). Webasto valve eliminated.

3) 230V Defa battery charger installed + electric heater 2200W in cabin (starts together with Webasto from fob. Webasto pre-heating engine).

4) Replace leather steering wheel with wood wheel.

5) Driver and passenger seats swich (LHD car).

6) Seat heater repair.

7) Led interrior lights installed (including mirrors).

P040D-00 fault code erased by changing exhaust manifold temperature sensor.

9) Throttle valve and MAP sensor cleaned.

10) Rear mudflaps installed.

11) Auxiliary coolant radiator cleaned (behind right fog lamp).

12) Build DRL lights.

13) Climate control replaced (that was pointless work).

14) Open the intercooler hoses and ensure there is no oil in intercooler.

And would be good to do in the future:

1) Clean main radiator pack. Between radiators can see some dirt and leaves. Dont know yet how to do it. This engine is quite sensitiv to overheating, so better to keep cooling system in good conditions.

2) Wash plenum chamber. This is not nacessary work probably, but its not hard to do, so why not?

3) And maybe remove DPF and clean it from ash. I dont have any faults with that, but collected ash reduce exhaust gas flow and probably littlebit affect to engine work as well.

And just one stupid (but maybe not so stupid) idea: why not to turn around the DPF? Its brand new from other side.

And today removing intake plenum for cleaning. Same way EGR intake, MAP sensor again (once I clean it already) and throttle valve.
Quite pointless work actually cleaning the plenum I think. There is lot of space for the air, big channels everywhere. The way for air going much smaller before the valves in the head. Unfortunately, there is probably same layer of oily soot as in plenum, and there is no way to get it out from there.
Oil together with soot is really terrible compound, it smears everiyhing and not dissolve easy.
Intake plenum cleaned with pressure washer. Other components with EGR-cleaner.

Air suspension bags cleaning.
One small bottle of pitch cleaner and 2h work. Its not easy to clean bags, especially from other side. Acess is not the best. Cleaning with toothbrush. Now this work is also done.

During lying under the car, what can I see! What a beautiful wasp's nest in the doghouse!

Jaguar 3 , may I bring my car to be fixed up by you in a few years tIme? Great job Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...
