Washed a ton of bird crap off the Omega. One wish in this world is for the neighbours tree to die...

Don't say that....you'll upset the 🐑 🐏 🐑 

Yes that would be baaaaaa....d!                                                              I'll get my coat. 

Sheepskin?

Drove it back from Tenby. We took her car as her cruise control goes down to 15mph (very handy in Wales  ), whereas mine bottoms out at 20mph. Most of the journey was on the M4 but there are quite a few 40mph/50mph average speed monitoring sections so I had to behave.    Her TFSI petrol is a punchy engine and can shift when prodded. Economy is very good for a petrol engine as well. 

               Should have said you were coming I’d have had a word with Mark about the 20 plenty for you🤣🤣

Ah, I didn’t realise that he was a personal friend of yours.     

                 Of course he is where did you think he got the 20mph idea from🤣🤣

Isn't that why copper nails were invented?

Got a puncture and failed it's MoT.

Puncture caused by summat I picked up moving over for a fire engine, hole too big to repair so replacement on order.

Failed on both fronts lower arm ball joints, headlight adjustment and NS brake light.

Headlights adjusted by tester, and brake light turned out to be tester error... he confused the single fog light for a brake light. Son only the arms to address.

Treated it to two front tyres, the old ones were still legal but were starting to perish at the bottom of the treads.  Still, they'd gone more than 30k.

Can you replace the ball joints, or is it time for new arms?

MOTed the Zafira A "elegance" tractor juice edition
no advisories 
I'd prepped/serviced  it before hand over the last few days 
2 new rear springs ,3 brake pipes ,new rear disks and pads ,new brake fluid , oil and filter and 4 cans of anti rust paint
parts total £185 (all classed as "service items" IMHO)
that's the 7th MOT i put on it , 50000 boring miles driven in six years & six months
fortunately not many of those miles where driven by me

Unfortunately not, they're pressed in blind.

Unfortunately, the strut attached to them and is secured by grub screws which are prone to seizing.in place.

Booked in for next Friday.

Omega was absolutely filthy which really annoys me so brought it to work today and gave it a good clean inside and out.
I shall sleep better tonight. 
Also managed to pop the lever thing back on to restore heat to the drivers side. Not quite sure how I got it on, but it seems to be working fine.
Still got to replace the matrix in the near future though, due to a slight leak. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Replacement tyre delivered and fitted whilst I was away. Garage kindly swapped it for the spare.

Partial retest booked for next Saturday.

Clearly a Friday afternoon in Sindelfingen when someone decided that was a good idea.
