New air con condenser.   :y

I now have a coolant leak!  :(

Reseated a couple of hoses, but have discovered that my leak comes from the lower ATF pipe on the rad.  I must have dislodged the seating when I undid the banjo bolt.  :(  Trouble is I can't get a spanner on it to nip it up, so I guess I'll have to undo the banjo again.   ::)

Topped up the diff. Sounded like it was slipping,  although it's like there were pebbles in the diff than oil on a fast standing start

Well more like a long grumble when you floor it from a stand still. Put in about 700ml then it seeped out,  we'll see how it is tomorrow

Fitted the other handbrake cable on sons Punto that I didn't get time to fit yesterday. His EML light has been on lately, but apparently its gone off after the engine was serviced, which is nice.  :)
Then removed bagpipes, coolant rad and A/C condenser from the Omega ready to fit the new condenser, hopefully tomorrow.
Gave the lower engine bay a bit of a clean up while I was down there.  :)

Ran out of coolant. Fortunately, there was a Hellfrauds about 400yrds from where I was working...   ...so I felt the need to disturb Mr DTM's morning and query what was needed.

When into my trusted tyre depot  with the front wheel off my Fazer in the boot. Got a nice fresh Bridgestone fitted by the one bloke in there who knows how to fettle bike tyres correctly & respect the rims Nice  :)
Got talking about the Omega & the mot is looming. The fronts are getting quite low now &  the rears are only slightly better. I had 4 Kuomo tyres fitted by this mob 4 years ago.
I was happy with this mid-range tyre, it was quiet, with good grip in the wet.
A nice bloke runs this place & offered me 4 X Kuomo HS51 W rated &  fitted for under £300.
With the afternoon off, I let the boys get on wth it, free coffee & telly to boot.

Fitted new A/C condenser and refitted all the stuff that had to come off to get the old one out. Ordered a new Bosch 246 coil pack.
