So what have you done to your car today?

[Auto Addict]

fitted my nice irmy carbon steering wheel to the mv6. 

Don't let TuBy see it, he'll want one.

Nothing really. I just didn't realise how long it takes.

I've seen Marks DTM do one in 45mins. Mind you, it was beer-o'clock, which always encourages him

Mine's finished and all back together. The Forum DVD is excellent and helped me no end. Went to do a oil filter and found I'd been given the wrong one. 

[Jimbob]

Bought 2 sets of OE front pads for £30

[pscocoa]

embarassingly reset the emissions light (yet) again - preparing to take Omega on a longer journey from Sandhurst to Oakley Wood Crematorium (between Stratford and Leamington) for (yet) another funeral of a friend -just 69. Then on to the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel.

Hope the old Omega holds up and gives the oil a chance to really get hot after reading all the mayo posts recently.

With rivets? Gis a set?

[amba]

Replaced all 6 plug leads.

Looks like misfire has been cured .Little annoyed existing Magnacor 8mm leads seemed to be the root problem but fingers crossed it fixed.Beru set I got where a real struggle as #6/#4 and #2 plug leads are manufactured almost dead length so lots of swearing getting them on dis pack then into plug well.Assume they must be dead length to avoid reducing current from dispack though !!

Tech 2'd the Mig. Headlight level control is indeed the front the wishbone sensor. Hopefully I'll replace it tomorrow if I get time.

colour coded my grill and wiper arms they get so dirty and they look better

[TheBoy]

Washed the Silver Bullet, as it was absolutely filthy. The front wheels were black.

Correct, as smooth as a babies arse.....stripped checked and cleaned, all ok, all balls ok, all races good....so cleaned, fresh grease and re-assembled ready to refit.

Shagged the handbrake cable and compensator bar, probably

I'm amazed that, having seen the size of them, they effectively hold up nearly 2t of car.  They just don't look man enough, though clearly are...


My MV6 is still on original at 185k.
