Title: Today I have been...
Post by: TheBoy on 11 October 2008, 18:48:53
...a bit lazy  :-[

But did manage to clean out tractor's intercooler, and replace its exhaust - hadn't realised quite how bad it had become.  Also managed a tech2 session on a new member's car, took a bit longer than planned - Martin Imber, I suspect you may have a fob repair coming your way shortly ;D

Then I have dropped the Bose shelf again in MV6 to try to diagnose a couple of issues with the ncdr1500 setup.  I hope I haven't smoked the telematics unit ::)

Talking of which..

Got mine, thanks TB :y.

Is it silent, or should I continue to find out what's wrong with my PC? So far tried Media Player, Real Player and Divx, all silent.

TIA, Jim

Found that Eibach springs are slightly lower than standard snapped springs - very little in it but similar ground clearance now to my Carlton.

TIme to have an accident with cement.

Also found that lowered stiffened Omegas do not roll on roundabouts 8-)

And no complaints about sick feelings

Thought it was about time I tech2'd the tractor as well, seeing as I do everyone else's, and never my own cars ;D

Was going to do MV6, but got sidetracked into something else more interesting ::)

I played in the swamp.  Got a couple inch deep layer of rusty nuts and bolts in the bottom of a bucket now.  Next step is to remove the swamp.  ::) :)
