Fluid top up on the omega. Pas, coolant  ::) and washer fluid. . . . Something really satisfying about topping up washer fluid. No idea why  :-\
It's the bubbles Webby... The bubbles ;D

I use the Hungarians at the top of the road. They charge a fiver but they do such a good job I give them £7. Hard working lads.

So that's an extra 2 squid to the boss then....don't believe for one second he passes that on to the workers.....

Obviously, don't know how much they paid in your area Steve, but in Swindon, on average the workers get £40/day for maybe 10 hours a day.....the boss takes the rest.....but obviously has expenses to pay....

The tips go in a plastic container labelled...erm.....tips ;D  Not sure who gets it. If it's the boss, so be it, but they are very grateful.

I got mine cleaned inside and out for a fiver  :y Taxi driver discount  ;D :)

Tho they've gone a bit tight recently and don't give me a dangly rear view mirror thingy  :(

Is that Tesco's TD?

minifreek

Decided to tax it for 12 months ......

Had a ruddy close look at what needs doing to sort out the O/S rear arch, so I'll be cutting and grinding and welding and filling and primering and painting and lacquering this weekend.....

Also found a hole in the floor.... :( so gonna patch that up at the same time I reckon...

Also .... need to rehang the O/S exhaust as I went over a large speedbump and kinda clattered the damn thing so broke a hanger I think.... I did mean to hang it higher than it is, but never did it last week....
D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F...

The first oil change i did , the oil looked like it had been in there since it left the factory  ::) The filter was distorted/brittle and of course black , shocked any oil went round the system  :(

Did an engine flush but cant start it up as waiting for an oil delivery  ;D
