[Doctor Gollum]

Prepped it for its new screen tomorrow morning.

[Viral_Jim]

Is that the last thing before it's MOT?

Almost

Still need to get it reprogrammed to deal with the ESP/BAS issues. Technically there's an issue with front passenger occupancy sensor, but that doesn't post a sodding great message on the cluster when it's turned on

Wipers and scuttle back on, so that's that jobbed

Do you know a friendly STAR owner, or is it a dealer/indie job?

[Doctor Gollum]

It's an indy job, and potentially only an hour.

I need to get it booked in, probably at the beginning of July...

Having STAR would be nice, but at around a grand or so for a legitimate set up, it's a luxury rather than an essential

Re-coded the annoying (to me) stop/start on both Audis's so that it remembers the last chosen position. I could have re-coded it to be inverted so that it worked the opposite to standard set-up but this way I get to choose. 
I've tried to like it/give it a chance but as it's designed purely for economy and saving the planet, any saving I make is wasted when I launch it off the lights.

He is, but sometimes it's necessary for 'safety' reasons.

My halo slips every now and again Al. 

[luizvivas]

My Omega still has the original taillights "Made in Germany", in great condition. As they are very expensive here and can only be found used, I decided to remove and keep them for safety. The lamp circuits, also original from the factory, were in poor condition after 28 years of use. In a friend's workshop we replaced the original taillights with new ones and the circuits were replaced with new ones.

AFTER

[MikeDundee]

Well had the car back in having the boot and rear bumper re-sprayed, wing mirrors and couple other small bits, that it now no more work due on the car, apart from the oil leak

[Sir Tigger KC]

Dried out the boot of the Mondeo after it seems to have sprung another leak! 

I think the seal has failed where the loom comes out of the body and into the tailgate, so a smear of silicone should sort that.

I swear that this car has feelings, as every time I think about selling it, something goes wrong with it!

If it wasn't for my strong willpower, I would have washed to cars today

Much too hot for that sort of exertion.  Have a nice cold drink instead.
