Yesterday on the V70, fitted a new top engine mount, air filter, pollen filter and looked at the fuel filter which is tucked up underneath the body.  ::)

Today took it to the local ATS for a cheap oil and filter change and got them to do the fuel filter as well, while I got a haircut and then sat and drank coffee in the local 'Spoons!  :y
Cheap oil eh?  ;D

Took the BMW for an MOT. Well, technically I'm still there as I only just arrived.

Time to see if it passes...

Looked at it and wondered when exactly the lovely Moonland paint became "mud brown". All over. Really must retrieve my car washing kit...

Found out I've still got a coolant leak >:( HBV is dry as are interior carpets.Radiator is new as is thermostat and oil cooler.I'm suspecting though that it's the oil cooler plate that isn't sealed properly as when I changed oil cooler the grey goo I sourced from Vx dealers felt pretty dry and "gritty" so I'm guessing they palmed me off with over age stock that had already gone off >:( >:(Anyway will tear it down again this weekend and see what I can see.
