Replaced o/s/f droplink on the Omega as it had a split boot. Annoying knocking noise now gone.
Cleaned  / rustproofed and undersealed a couple of small areas where underseal ahd been damaged while I was down there.
Then mowed front and rear lawns, and thats my batteries run out for the day.
Spot of lunch and a cold beer on its way.  :)
Does the clit double up as a Flymo? ;) I have a Flymo Easyglide 300. Biggest heap of shit i've ever bought.  >:(

Have had the same electric mower, of a brand I cant even remember for at least 15 years now. It makes the grass shorter when I move it over it, and thats the extent of my gardening knowledge.  :)
I'll give you the benefit of my knowledge, Albs. Have two nice young lads call round, dig up all of your grass and replace it with decking/flags/block paving. Then spend your time doing something else  :y

I usually cut the grass about once a year. Swmbo does it, and everything else gardening related the rest of the time.  ;)

Sorted my towbar out on the Range Rover ( detachable) would not detach thank goodness for you tube, all done worst bit was removing the spare wheel, it's extremely heavy hopefully a bit of maintenance each time its used will prevent this happening again.

It's a service item on those. Plenty of well documented failures because they haven't been properly serviced. ;)

It nearly made a 90 miles trip without the inidcator packing up.  I did about 60 miles before giving up the ghost.

Headlight had quite heavy condensation inside again this morning, which has now disappeared in this sun.

Maybe it needs a little controlled explosion to force the moisture out  :-\

Do they fit the same component to BMWs & Audis?
