VXL V6

Had a new, genuine GM heat reflective, rain sensor windscreen fitted to the 3.2. Many thanks Autoglass.  :)

Removed front bushes from a new pair of Lemforder wishbones ready to fit poly bushes... All for the next project car.

Realised I've done over 10,000 miles since I bought it in April. Haven't had to renew the brakes, cam belt, clean the breathers, etc. etc.........

Changed the oil & filter on the 3.2, really needed doing. Fixed a rattly exhaust, back box to centre section crush thingys not as tight as they should be.  :-\

Normally an exhaust fuses together and is one lump of metal, could easily loose the bolts, adjust and tighten up. The ETS exhaust is lasting really well, no signs of rusting or corrosion.

Fixed bonnet catch too, not quite right. Also put a new battery on it, topped up screenwash fluid and power steering fluid.

MOT tomorrow, first time not using local Brackley place for about 10 years.

Gave 2.2 a once over, all good there. It's been clocking the miles over the winter, as not using the bike.

After changing the above, I had a spirited drive home from work, difference was noticeable, rear didn't want to break away as normal on some bends, and entry and exits were better, so yes an improvement. :y

3.2 passed MOT, no advisories. At a new 'Vauxhall Specalist' in Camberley, first time with no advisories. As my old chap always liked something on the list. As TheBoy well knows  ::)

They were very helpful. I did want it MOT'd before Christmas, but fully booked. So went in first slot they had on the 29th, said it would take about an hour and they were spot on.

Will take my 2.2 there now as well I think, so handy as its within walking distance. All my tools are here now, so does not make sense to go back to my parents to use MOT there, as I do like to support individual small businesses.
