(Well, yesterday) Played my favourite game of installing an engine single-handedly onto a gearbox already fitted to the car. Didn't go too badly, as it happens.

Cheat!

Today I fought with the wishbones on the Jag again .. got one half freed but the grinder isn't big enough to get the back half of the pivot bolt off because the wishbone and/or subframe is in the way. Maybe a bigger grinder is the answer..

Driving along in the rain and thinking maybe the static off my hair is making the sunroof open by itself

Got embarrassed by a RR Evoque around a roundabout 

Fitted new cruise stalk.

Please tell me it was because you were driving it. 

No

Nothing exactly..

..did put down a deposit on one, though

[aaronjb]

I declared success!



Although my joy was short lived as I still need to get a stubby bit of jammed in bolt out of one half of the wishbone (the remainder of what would normally bolt the two halves together) - and managed to have a drill bit disintegrate in the bolt while drilling it out

Actually SWMBO's car - but hoovered it, general checks and oil and oil filter change. Some numpty did the sump plug a bit tight last time though
