So what have you done to your car today?

Early start and changed a heater valve on a 2006 Ford Ka.

I wasn't expecting it to get under my skin but it's fantastic. Nice to work on and it drives very sweetly. Only 22k miles in 16 years. I don't want to give it back...

So its not rusted away into a small heap of orange dust then?

Its rare to find one where the filler cap panel work has not fallen off and at east its not got that crap noisy old cross flow 'Endura' engine in it

I was surprised too! Garaged all its life and no rust I could see. I didn't go underneath though, just in case...

Filler cap is the usual area where it starts, Ford even created a special repair panel.

Trouble is its usually the tip of the iceburg

Well done. Don't let it go the way of your classic BMW.

Well it seems that my old Beemer who was enjoying a gentle retirement in Torquay may be no more, as the old girls MOT wasn't renewed last May.   

Unless the owner expired before the MOT did...

Oil and Filter and new wipers on the Beemer

Had a couple of productive days this week with guru Addy.

Mine now has a gearbox and engine where there was once a gaping chasm. And we have started stripping his exhaust and a few other bits from his.More importantly, there has been coffee and cake.

The rear wiper on the V70 has not been returning to base when I switch it off and parks itself in the middle of the screen.

So this afternoon I removed the motor, opened up the casing and lots of water poured out. Cleaned it all up, greased it and reassembled.

No difference.                                                            FFS!
