Took it in for a service. Must be the only time in about 25 years I've taken a car in for anything other than an MOT but decided it was worth it because warranty.

They washed it and valeted it to boot, so it was almost worth the money for that alone.

Ordered a drivers mirror to replace the one that was just kicked off by some little idiots as they strolled on past.

Drove it to work and back. Washed it in a puddle on the way home

Can't get more environmentally friendly than that.

Little Greta would be proud of you.

Do it from above

Doh! Talk about a brainfart moment.  Helps if you go done in front of the radiator


Thanks for the tip Al

Changed the temp sensor, and engine oil (but not filter - just too windy, was hard enough getting the oil from the sump into the container without it going everywhere).

Old oil was 7k old, and had gone quite dark, but sure I'll get away with not changing the filter this time.


Had a quick look at LPG, but the weather turned, so for now, just whacked the switch-over temp to 70C.  Suspect I might have to whack it up further, until I can find a solution (probably new injectors)

Washed all the bird shit off the Range Rover, think the birds were using it for target practice yesterday in the car park at work..😃

Judging by the size of the dollops on my car, it would seem the pterodactyl  is not extinct in Lincolnshire.

Yep......for my £54.50 MOT the Tata was also given a wash and vac. Fancy pastries and coffee must have cost a few quid. Had to raise the headlights one full turn so they were not pointing at the ground though.

Did you use the Jaguar 3+  cheaper service option?

Got half way through soldering a new injector connector onto Airfix 1, but the cold wind, crap soldering iron, and the need for at least three hands forced me to call it a day.

 Tring to clean the Zaf in between very heavy hail showers. So heavy here it looked like it had snowed

Oil and Filter change on both the Golf and Merc

What injectors do you have on yours?

Did the oil and filter, cleaned the breathers and changed the fuel filter on the daily.
