Had code 303, so thought best sort it.
Changed plugs x6, changed oil n filter, refitted splitter, cleaned breathers, checked myŁ28 shockers  :y thought let's change the fuel filter, after wat seemed like an age, using the correct fuel clip pliers, it's off, found a new 1, fitted it, started it up, whoosh fuel all over the floor, bloody clip hadn't seated, two different clips later, seems fine, so had a bath in Tesco 99' :-X.

Connected up exhausts to manifolds, SAI pipes back on, heat shields in place, coolant intake pipe back on and oil cooler pipes put on. Coolant pipe onto thermostat and bastard bolt finally located >:(

Finally changed the oil on TBE - its not often that I get the chance, as she's often out at the weekend, but as she is not allowed to drive currently, it meant it was all mine :)

Really must do mine... It looks very bad by my standards and, worse still, I actually can't remember the last change!  :-[

Can't be too bad as it's still got a nice golden colour to it but.....

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Emptied the back of the car of the saleable contents of my old caravan which me and the lad dismantled in a lay bye in 3 hours last Monday before scrapping what was left  :y

I parked on the weigh bridge for a minute on the way out.

With fat bastard me in the driving seat, skinny git mini me in the passenger seat and crammed with the internals and windows of the van, the weight gauge read 2180 kg  :o :o

I drove home rather sedately  ;) ;)

Swapped the projects bumper for a far better one that was lurking in the loft. Crash bar is immaculate and all looking rust free around the front end except for some minor surface rust which I scraped off, painted rust convertor on then went over all the unseen parts with under seal. Also remove the SL pump which will make a bit more space for the LPG ECU.....
