We won't have a garage when we move, I'm going to get creative with space....and throw out all the shite I've been keeping in case I need it.  :(

I found a combination of gas and a spark was very effective at "housekeeping"....

No thanks, I'd rather go to the tip.  ;D

Drop links and fuel filter on the little van, and a 12 hours night shift to go :'(

Which one's that? :-\

1.9D Berlingo :y

Migv6 le Frog Fan

Washed it, checked the fluids. Took the o/s/f wheel off to put the tyre on the correct way round but noticed it had worn down quite a bit on the inside edge so didn't bother.
I popped a tyre on that corner when I hit a pothole, which knocked the camber out badly.
Will need to get that sorted and then out another tyre on there.  ::)
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Just servicing the "maintenance free" battery, electrolyte low so topped up whilst on charge and will correct levels at end of charging :)
2.5V6 Had it since 2002, what a beast, worth the time and effort to keep it road worthy. Vauxhall bring them back!!! Laser timing kit for OOF member hire

Wheels back from being refurbed and I am £260 poorer, now to book the new tyres, so popped down to the place that are going to fit the order from Blackcircles and asked how much they will charge to supply and fit same tyres.

Answer is £130 a tyre
Blackcircles £101 a tyre

Fitted at the same place ::)

Almost £120 saving. What can I say

As I've found out, because you've done them out of their margin for profit. You will be bumped to the back of the queue if any issues popup.

I just went Kumho's for the 2.2 @ £140 for a pair of rears. There is another place i spotted just up the road actually, near Guffers they were sporting a Kumho flag. Will call in there for a quote next time
