it's clean on the outside and inside the car, but it still has some dust underneath the car and in the a/c vents. I'll need to get a long brush or something to clean the ducts. I'm also looking to fit a cabin air filter to the a/c intake and over the intake for re-circulation to control the amount of dust getting into the car because I'm constantly wiping the dash.

the WK was from the country just like yours, but the dust on it is more of a brown dust, not the red that your car has. when I get around to doing the zorst I'll give the underside a good clean too.

so I've had the WK for about 4 months now and added 5.5k to it so I've decided it's time to service. I'll investigate the noisy brakes when I do - I suspect they need servicing too but the brother thinks they could be dusty as mum's other half has a 1km long gravel driveway. also going to change the rocker cover gaskets as they are a little dirty around them and going to de-grease and wash the engine bay to eliminate some of that dust. also putting a new fuel filter in as the engine is dusty, I suspect the fuel filter is well over due. also going to do the leads and plugs, can anyone suggest some good leads?

Dusty or just ****. My car sees 2.2km of dirt driveway regularly, silent as a mouse. Stock leads are more than sufficient on a stock engine (Bosch).

sound system is now in. it's now got a sony double din touchscreen dvd deck with bluetooth and mirrorlink. I'm running alpine splits in the front and pioneer 6" in the back. I carried over the subs and amps from the VR. also had the bluetooth kid removed and ripped out the factory subs.

and what was taken out, I didn't bother about removing the factory amp. it was just bypassed.

I might eventually upgrade the front splits and move the alpine ones to the back to fill in the holes in the parcel shelf. also might get some DVD screens for the back as I have my young nephew in the car often and it would keep him occupied as he's mentally disabled.

Better bass response if you leave the parcel shelf holes as is ^^.
