So what have you done to your car today?

[feeutfo]

Bottom ball joint is fine to 

So what do you think was causing the creak and knock?

Got an artifical hip?

I'm not quite ready for that yet, the car might be though

Not sure that will fix it.

We re tightened AA's wb bolts to be sure. Didn't check the creak was still there after though. Did he replicate the noise for you Mark?

Steering box bolts tight?

No, he dumped it on the drive and then scarpered!

He is spritely for his age.

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

You'll have to fight Laura for them!

Excellent, get the mud pit booked!

Fixed the headlight level control. YAY no more annoying messages.

Yesterday - Got a blow out on the van on my way to getting a service

Today - Replaced the spare. Managed to get a 6 month old Conti (part worn by under 1mm, but as a spare I'm not too worried) for £29 all in with a lifetime guarantee

Just waiting for some work to come in now!

[bored bigyin54]

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

Thought the grille was black

it was but i didnt like it black so changed it to gold looks cleaner rob 

[SIR Philbutt]

Spring clean and polish. Rubbed down sunroof frame and repainted

[Entwood]

Simple stuff today ... oil & filter change   

[doz]

Apparently I haven't fixed the front headlight level control

Philbutt - your car looks amazing!!  Great job there! 

Well today, I took 'Morticia' to Asda in Derby to get some LPG, at which point she promptly wouldnt restart (battery dead), so thankfully some burly chaps who'd been doing some work on the forecourt pushed her out of the way for me whilst I rang the RAC, who to their credit had a patrolman with me in 10 minutes.  He did some tests on the alternator and battery, and the alternator is faulty, so once he'd put some charge in the battery, I headed off to AVS Vauxhall breakers in Lenton, Nottingham, and got a replacement alternator (with guarantee) for £25 

All being well, we'll get that fitted over the weekend, and hopefully I'll have no more flat battery issues - today, due to it being cold (2.5C this morning) and foggy, I had lights, heater, fog lights and radio on, and as the RAC man said, the alternator couldnt cope with such a drain on it, and this was why the car wouldnt restart once I'd fuelled it up.
