Title: Thanks to TheBoy
Post by: tunnie on 14 November 2011, 18:40:39
For the quick tech2 session tonight, since i changed the precat passenger lamba i wanted another live readout to check all was well.

All looks good, just few small jobs left to do on the 3.2 now. :)

No problem.  But that bulb will take you 20m tops in the morning :P

I see the to-do list as (in order of importance):

Lifter treatment
MIL bulb
Brake bleed (or did you do that?) and overall brake service
New spare key
Door check strap - that hurts shins ::)
Exhaust at some point, hopefully that one will see you through the winter
Cosmetics - climate button, Satnav laser. Rear blind with an extended middle finger drawn on it
Once we 'know' the car, and that its clear of faults, slap on a new climate and new gearbox firmware


Pre curry on Saturday, it seemed to pick up OK when you followed me.

As always, was good to see you again

Oh cock, forgot, SL springs.

If you're passing tomorrow, can you sling them in my back garden?  I could do with getting those on egay :y

Can't be softer than your green one?

SL is even softer. I couldn't live with it, as you well know.  Much happier with TBE since firming it up a bit.  I may have even said I really enjoyed the last time I drove it, back from Bucks meet last week ::)

3.2 corners on rails compared to 2.2, but following you guys i could see hardly any roll in car body compared to mine.

If you want to avoid laying on your back under the car in a puddle of ATF, you're welcome to stop by and borrow the pit, Tunnie :) (Assuming you don't have access to a ramp when you come to do the job, of course)

Thats a very kind offer, thanks :)

I have ramps & stands, but its never really high enough! Always end up getting a ATF shower

Much easier to do things like that sitting on a seat under the car :)

Although I still usually manage to cover myself in some kind of oil, each service.. it's a knack I have ;D
