Bought what I think/hope is a one way valve for my screen washers, which I can replace when the scuttle comes off again to do the intake fanimold again.

Nice simple job on the Subaru , new stop & tail bulb fitted, first bulb change in 18 years ! So easy to get to & nil corrosion behind the light fitting.

Replaced the n/s side vision camera and coded it in on the BMW. Did the o/s last year. I guess 11 years before failure isn't bad considering they are mm from the wheel arch.

Yeah.  Had I been able to get the part quickly last time, I would have done both. But I needed the car, and kinda assumed that even JLR parts weren't that bad. Incorrectly, clearly!

As the sun started to come up this morning, I put the space saver on the back of hers, and dropped the wheel I took off to my grumpy MOT man to remove the screw...

See, I know far better than you how to treat a woman.  Though the time you bought Mrs DTM an iron for her birthday does deserve credit.....

Filled it up with ad-blue as well.  Need to buy some more soon.

Now Shitfix/toolstation are getting a bit pricey, anyone got a source for a decent price??

Nice, practical present, that. Must make ironing his shirts much more enjoyable.

Probably best to find a lightweight model next time, mind. :-X
