Repaired the loom to the exterior temp sensor in 2 places and, before that, drove it with a lot of stuff in!!

Washed both Omegas, but couldn't dry them quick enough.

Still, as my grandma used to say, at least its clean dirt.

Replaced my Omegas rear shock absorbers nearside one was totally goosed no resistance left in it at all, offside one must have been replaced at some point in time as all the bolts where copper greased. You've got to wonder though at what sort of numpty would replace only one shocker on an axle.

Oil (long overdue by my standards, possibly even by GM's!), oil filter, air filter, Pollon filter. Swapped driver's door switch panel and headlamp washer splitter from other car. Replaced the fog lights in the Irmscher bumper.

Oh... And spotted that I need a new tyre before driving to Nottingham tomorrow! In light of our current circumstances it will have to be el cheapo - not happy about it but it can wear quickly and go in the bin!!

Pumped out the ATF in the TD box, and refilled, took 5 litres, so at least its refreshed until I get round to dropping the sumps. 8)
Did you syphon it out  :-\

No, I used my sump pump. :y Talking of which, the uncommanded driveless increase in revs at 30MPH has disappeared, so it was the box oil. Annoying as it has only done 13000 since fitting the AR35, and I was told it had been re-furbished 12000 before that. Serves me right for believing that story. >:(

Broke the 3.2  :'(

Me thinks the alternator is knackered.  :'(  Well if it isn't that I don't know what it is, as with the engine running at 2000rpm I'm getting 11.4 at the terminals.
