Whats wrong with your car right now??

Pug 206 SW, 172 CUP
172 Cup with a 172 rear damper and a 75k Cup rear damper. Not really a matched pair! New cup dampers waiting to go on, bubbled caliper paint needs to be scraped off or repainted after track day, minor kerbing on alloy to touch up (fail on my part as works van has balloon tyres and I was on auto pilot!), inspect bubbled wheel paint after track day. Need a matched set of new tyres so I can get a proper feel for the car (3 different brands on the car at the moment. One being a budget) and driver window clunk to sort.

There is a thread on here of how to fix it. It literally needs 2 self tapping screws.
The point where the two clips are on the rear of it you just screw them in there as replacements. Job done.

Needs the oil dropping.....
Inner rods creating play in steering - gone from hardly noticeable to s**t scary to drive at speed in the space of a couple of hundred miles... Needless to say she is all parked up till these arrive.

Dephaser is noisey as feck (going in this week finally) suspected cv joint/boot problems, and it needs the tracking doing asap as my shiney new S-DRIVES are now worn down one side 
The petrol filler flap needs painting ! Petrol Blue :banghead:
Just a small list, off the top of my head. All on my own Clio DCi thing.
N/S Outer CV completely fucked
Engine knocking, suspected big end bearings (pulling apart today to check)
Slipping clutch
destroyed engine mounts
Overdue oil change (obviously changing it when I do big ends)
A/C empty
Minor exhaust blow
Odd coolant leak
Boost leak
Bored of it now too.

Front discs and pads,

rear wheel bearings,
cam belt
dephaser,
a/c to be removed,
exhaust too bloody loud/cracked
all 4 spigot rings melted to hubs,
diff is whining,
knocking from the front right at 50mph,
front seats are really uncomfotable (I must be getting old),

All the time? I've had this twice, in nearly 3 years of owning the thing. Both times sorted itself out the following day, very strange!
Went a month without doing it but now does it pretty much every other day. Clears if I restart the engine, which makes it harder to trace the problem!

Aux belt has lost about 5mm of its width and gone really thin, was making a loud slapping/clicking noise, so its gonna be in garage for two days whilst dephaser and that's done, and also the cv joint :/
That don't look to good paddyExhaust cam decided to seize up & do this at around 100mph at Castle Combe

Rasp from 3-4k. Could be the rear heat shield which is floating in mid air on one corner or the rear box which has a slight rattle when you give it a mild thump. Will secure heat shield corner as that will be free and test. Don't know why I'm bothering as it isn't a day car and it doesn't affect performance. Something to fiddle with I guess.

Head, cam & pulley are scrap. Bottom end is fine so nowhere near as bad as I 1st thought when it happened, will be back on track soon though
Smart Car, MX-5, 197
Backbox sounds like its floating around but not been under there to have a look yet. Car is a bit lumpy sometimes when I start it in the morning but sorts itself out after a minute or two so not massively bothered.
Needs a wash, cobwebs growing on wing mirrors and rear wiper.

Padded out all heat shields to prevent them vibrating to find exhaust rasp. Definitely exhaust. Balls. Will just keep an eye on it for now.
