But I've had a great morning, serviced the wife's clit, oil, oil filter, plugs and air filter.
Then set about Waxoyling the underbody, how much easier it is with a car on ramps.

Amazing how the title says this has nothing to do with Omegas and you still get a reply. ;D
Good job done there AA. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Well done AA [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I on the other hand have shoved about a 1ltr of coolant in my meega.....as 'check coolant' came on this morning.
And just know took the radio/clock display out on my Veccy again....I changed all 3 bulbs in it yesterday...as one had blown.....and this morning noticed a bulb at the other end wasnt working....cursed Halfrauds for selling me a duff bulb....but i take that back now....it was bad contact on the circuit board with the bulb holder....so gave all three bulb holders a tweak...all 3 bulbs work fine now :)
I know im going to be renting it out so didnt need to bother really.....but little things like that bug me....and i like things to be perfik ;)

Good prices there AA [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I bought oil filter for veccy £1.15 Retail it was £3.49
Bought 5 litres of 10-40 semi as well carnt remember the price but about a fiver off......could have got for a couple quid cheaper at vx dealer but......couldnt be bothered the extra trip....plus i would have to have bought 20ltr's to get it that cheap.
They dont stock air filters for VectraC's :( Going to vx dealer on Wed to buy two......eventually convinced my neighbour opposite....who's also a taxi driver....that he doesnt need to keep spending £200-£300 every couple months on getting his Veccy 2.0 diesel serviced by vx dealer)
Said I change the air filter for him.....not been changed in 40k miles apparently....then oil change.....which i wont do.....so that'll cost him £35 in the garage I use.....i checked his brake pads... there fine....so it'll be job done and only cost him about £45 [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

The standard service on a clit is about £100 more than the standard service on an Omega. :o

No, had a funny sort of day, frequent showers here, bought some more bits and bobs from Halfords and tidied up the garage instead.
