VXL V6

Removed winter tyres / wheels and put normal wheels back on.

Tomorrow i'll be removing the front bushes from a brand new pair of wishbones ready to fit polly's in them when the car next trundles over to Pinkland.  :y

Guess you have a small tank, or don't like running low ;D

I did manage 317m from a tank yesterday, my new record (80l tank)
bad back good for the wallet it seems. :)

...hold up, what happened to "driving economically makes no difference" ? ;D

Sounds like a long motorway cruise to me. ;)
I bet you can guess where I went as well ;D

Sounds like a long motorway cruise on company time to me. ;)

Wing fitted, and while the side skirt and bumper was off...  ;)
That means we'll get more snow next week :-X ::) ;D
Nah, start of the second ice age knowing my luck!
Yesterday, starting at about 3pm I removed and re fitted said bumper, side skirt, wheel, and wing.
I had all today to swap the other side skirt to match, and it took hours. I was bloody knackered.

just topped up oil level on auto box,but judging the colour of the fluid that came out i think its due a total replenishment >:(
oh well that's another day done

Reality

Just had mine fully serviced (not at dealers)  8).
I also had the cam sensor replaced. After nearly 6 months of occasional limp home mode it was a pleasure to start the car and just drive off. As mentioned elsewhere  the only cure is a genuine Vauxhall cam sensor replacement. It may cost a lot but will save you a lot in the long run.
I've upgraded the headlights with HD lightbulbs from Hal*****. Not much improvements. Did the the same on my Wife's car with better results.
After that a good old wash and shine :) :)
The car is a pleasure to drive now. 8)

VXL V6

Washed the DTi and hosed all the mud, silt and salt from under the wheelarches, and everywhere else I could see and just polybushed one of the wishbones, other one will have to wait for tomorrow.


LFF64

I have replaced the exhaust from the cats back
Its not actually that a bad job only problem I had were the four bolts on the two joints from the cats I couldnt undo them so had to cut them then drill out the remaing bits bloody nightmare drill bits wouldnt touch them then the battery on the drill went flat so had to wait for that to charge up  >:(
But its done now and all good exhaust cost £100 inc p+p and it included the rubber hangers and new u bolys and bolts
  :y

omega3000

Had a 2FT breaker bar put on the wheel nuts to crack the bolts that had been over tightened by some idiot with a windy gun i presume  >:( >:(

Poor Mrs TB! Did she have to learn about engines today ::)

I guess the roles were reversed and you had to keep the kettle topped up ???
Whatever it is... I didn't do it
