I like red cars

Changed the air filter. Probably one of the worse condition filters I've seen, so that's been in for a good while.

Was it black and hairy on both sides?

Checked the pipercross panel, I forgot I put it in lol.
After a year it has started sagging so its going in the bin, when I can be bothered to order the paper element and a new cabin filter.

Also fitted the new 17" 6 spoke sport alloys, they look nice but still strange on a p/fl

Did you opt for one of the electric ones?

It was black both sides.  Fortunately, it had managed to keep the straw in the airbox though.

Well, if you will buy a car from the webbed people :D

Had the battery holder soldered back onto the board on my ignition key. Swmbo keeps the really good key on her keyring, despite rarely driving the car.  ::) :-X ;D
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Got back my Caravan from the "Autoschmide Lahr" this afternoon. They fixed the air condition.

Not cheap, but worth every Penny. 30°C outside today.

A little cool inside.... ;D

I am not forced to drive an old Omega. I simply like it.

Entwood

Discovered its losing a pint of coolant in 200 miles, and as its persisting down no chance of looking for where it is .... although the HBV will always be most likely .....   :(

TheBoy

Changed the air filter on TBE...   ...and promptly broke the coolant hose clip.  Fortunately I had a spare.

How and why? Too much beer? :o

Simply lifting the pipe to one side provides ample clearance ::)

Granted, changing the air filter isn't as easy as, say an E39 5 Series, but it doesn't warrant dismantling the cooling system ???

The little hose from coolant bottle is normally removed, as it makes it easier.  Assuming you don't shag the clip ;D
