So what have you done to your car today?

[Lagondanet]

Bulbs eh? Very confusing things, bulbs........

[Jimbob]

New battery on Big blue, been intermittant to say the least following run down when alternator went.  last one, unknown make fitted May 10.

Lookers had a January sale....

Gotta be happy with that

Also stocked up on Semi oil - box of 4 x 5l also £30
dexos 2 was £45 a box.

Happy days

Unblocked the scuttle drain. Brought mats and pollen filter in to dry. Carpets will take a lot longer methinks

Carpets will dry quicker and better out of the car piece of piss to remove too...

IIRC, the centre console has to come out?

Ordered bits for TBE.  Mrs TB made it quite clear that she wanted it back on the road, and reasonably quickly.  I think she likes the Chavmobile

Although the alternative was the Battlebus, so no competition really

Nah, makes it easier, but can get away with simply undoing the armrest bolts and lifting that up for the rear...

For fronts, only the seat runner filler piece and the front kick panel and pull... again slackening the front inside seat rail bolt helps create clearance, but not essential for removal...

But definitely for putting them back again.

True enough, but better to dry it out properly than to rot the floor out

The dual filament bulbs on the estate are fog/Tail, but are 21W/4W which catches people out... The 21/5s don't have the axial offset... Best place should Be Vauxhall as they are sensibly priced and should have the correct ones in stock failing that, local factors should be able to supply a box of 10/12 Ring bulbs for a fiver or so

[2boxerdogs]

Lovely & sunny here today Merc washed and vacuumed not really dirty but a good excuse to get it out of the garage & admire it.

[05omegav6]

Pottering around the white one... fitted the front camera, just need to bury the wiring and I can start to refit the interior

Unfortunately work beckons

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Hunted for an air leak - may have found it - fingers crossed. Degreased and wiped over the steering wheel which had picked up christknows how much grime and muck. Looks (nearly) like new, now, I'm happy.

[Marks DTM Calib]

New pair of rear shocks on the mum bus last night, Monroe's for £38 delivered a pair  (well they have done 150k miles)

[Diamond Black Geezer]

There's a lot of good talk about the B4s on here (and I run on them, myself, no complaints) however, I'd love to do a like-for-like test against some Monroes, I suspect most people wouldn't be able to tell a blind bit of difference in round-town pootling between them. Given the price of Monroes, they are fantastic value for money

Used the Battlebus. Never got it above 35mph on the way in
