So what have you done to your car today?

[Sir Tigger KC]

New air con condenser.   

I now have a coolant leak! 

Reseated a couple of hoses, but have discovered that my leak comes from the lower ATF pipe on the rad.  I must have dislodged the seating when I undid the banjo bolt.    Trouble is I can't get a spanner on it to nip it up, so I guess I'll have to undo the banjo again.

Ordered the A/C condenser that I thought I ordered last Saturday.

Nearer 60 than 50 now.

Topped up the diff. Sounded like it was slipping,  although it's like there were pebbles in the diff than oil on a fast standing start

Slipping how? It only has gears in it

Well more like a long grumble when you floor it from a stand still. Put in about 700ml then it seeped out,  we'll see how it is tomorrow

Turned one of the 190s round in the yard. As I 'm too lazy to move everything it ended up a little like this...



Also got the breadvan home - MrsGK is starting the recommisioning* this evening...

*stripping it down and finding its thirty times worse than expected and having a paddy

Fitted the other handbrake cable on sons Punto that I didn't get time to fit yesterday. His EML light has been on lately, but apparently its gone off after the engine was serviced, which is nice. 
Then removed bagpipes, coolant rad and A/C condenser from the Omega ready to fit the new condenser, hopefully tomorrow.
Gave the lower engine bay a bit of a clean up while I was down there.

Ran out of coolant. Fortunately, there was a Hellfrauds about 400yrds from where I was working...   ...so I felt the need to disturb Mr DTM's morning and query what was needed.

Full service with all filters on the wife's X type and new disc's and pads. New MoT too. That's her off my back for a bit

[pauls]

Relised i still have the old problem with the rev counter  so gave it a good hidding on the way home from work tonight.

When into my trusted tyre depot  with the front wheel off my Fazer in the boot. Got a nice fresh Bridgestone fitted by the one bloke in there who knows how to fettle bike tyres correctly & respect the rims Nice 
Got talking about the Omega & the mot is looming. The fronts are getting quite low now &  the rears are only slightly better. I had 4 Kuomo tyres fitted by this mob 4 years ago.
I was happy with this mid-range tyre, it was quiet, with good grip in the wet.
A nice bloke runs this place & offered me 4 X Kuomo HS51 W rated &  fitted for under £300.
With the afternoon off, I let the boys get on wth it, free coffee & telly to boot.

I went to a scrapyard and managed to get a Brink towbar for the est off a Omega est and a few other bits.If anyone is interested it had a good load cover was in silver Z147 it was a cd estate 2.6.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Fitted new A/C condenser and refitted all the stuff that had to come off to get the old one out. Ordered a new Bosch 246 coil pack.
