So what have you done to your car today?

[STEMO]

Stripped a pair of front struts for parts, measured springs in the process. Destroyed an alternator and vandalised the front multi ram. A good days work 

Sheesh.   

[TheBoy]

Changed the £$£^%$^%$ handbrake cable.

Yes, a job I need to do, hopefully not this side of the MOT.  I wonder if Mr Gixer's warm garage is tidy yet. If not, I know of a very nice, warm garage a few miles from Alton

Put some air in some of the tyres, and took air out of the others. Drained the compressor whilst at it, been a bit lax doing that recently

And the owner has recently changed a handbrake cable so will be well experienced

Plus there's a magic cupboard there that seems to spew forth copious amounts of beer

I didn't struggle too much with the Special's handbrake cable, which is surprising as I am a total moron with fists of ham...

Changed the exterior temperature sensor - climate working properly and I am warm again 

The old sensor had decided it was 39.9C outside so all times!

There's a nice comfy chair from which I can direct operations whilst performing a vital quality control function vis-a-vis said beer, too.

Valve spring compressor, any idea of collet size and throat dimensions. Seen some with 25 and 30mm collets and throat dimension of 140-160mm any good?

Have discovered that the exhaust has decided it wants to start to blow....

Might be time to change to 2.6/3.2 headers

I found that one like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-pcs-Car-Motorcycle-Valve-Spring-Compressor-Tool-Bit-Set-UK-SELLER-/261313098765?hash=item3cd779740d:g:RZcAAOSwPcVVhDCN  did a good job.

It's hard to argue with the price.

Well I went to look at a possible omega estate car but not convinced as of now!!!

Race you to the chair, and sod the handbrake

Changed the front disks and pads that I realised yesterday wouldn't be popular at my MOT tomorrow morning.

Went out and "tried to bed them in".

There's a funny smell.

They've about twelve hours to cool down
