Front wheel bearing changed .. with a little help from the awesome brain of Nick W .. :) and a touch of anti-corrosion work on the chassis leg and inner wing while I had the space to work ...  just need to visit the local garage for final tightening tomorrow and that's another job jobbed .. :)

 2 minutes at the local garage and £2 in the Help the Heroes pot, back home wheel off, cap on, centre back in, wheel on .. all done and dusted .. and a I can now turn the radio down from its "hide the whine" setting ..  :)

I am not forced to drive an old Omega. I simply like it.

You don't mess around, do you Rolf! Makes my little 50L 14cfm (~400l/min) seem rather inadequate ;D

Nothing, really.. paid other people to work on the BMW (which has gained a rattle from the front suspension .. must take it back before something drops off).

Had some woman reverse into the Skoda while I was sat in it (waiting for the shops to open on a Sunday) and then deny causing the dent in the bumper. Tiny dent but that's not the point - show some backbone, accept when you've done wrong and teach your granddaughter (was with her) decent morals and values, rather than deny the obvious.. it was enough of a bump to nudge my car forward on the handbrake so it's not like I imagined it!  >:( >:(

Must buy front & rear dash cam..
