These new fangled contraptions haven't made it to my part of Darzetzhire yet.  :-\  ::)

Nor over the borders in Debenzhere or Zummerzet either...  :D

Removed all personal possessions from TBE  :'(, then drove it to the chippie, and remembered what a good car the Omega is.

You'll miss it, but if you don't want to fix it, then it's time to let it go ;)

Still trying to get the turbo off the C lio. One of the four 10mm nuts that joins the cat to the turbo is rounded, and of course its th one that you cant even see, and can only work on by feel.
Stuck now not sure what to do. Might just get the lump hammer and chisel out tomorrow and lose my temper with it and see what happens.
Sick and tired of the bloody thing now.

Cut two dampers off the newly arrived Civic. Well known for seizing solid, the first one took me a while, the second one I showed no mercy.  Satisfying.

Not even sure I will get it finished once at this point. A second time would definitely be either a box of matches or over a cliff.

Do you know anyone with an Irwin (Bolt Remover) Socket Set that you could borrow. They are designed to bite in to mullered bolt heads when undoing. If it's a stud and nut you'd have to make sure the socket was deep enough.  :y
