I saw that, but not sure that was meant to go?

Spanners already back, on top of your tool chest. So that seat base is your problem now  :P

Did it look like it belonged in the garden?  Actually, knowing what a mess the garden is, don't answer that one ;D

Did an MOT on an old 98 Fiesta today then had to service it. The bloody thing hasn't been serviced for over 6 years so when I saw the amount of rust around the plugs I knew I was in for a hard day. Tried the first plug and it wouldn't budge so left that and went to the second plug, tried to undo it and the bloody thing snapped. Took me 3 hours to get the sodding thing out but at least I didn't have to remove the head. I had to leave 3 of the old plugs in there, I wasn't going to take any chances with them snapping >:(

Bloody Fords ::)
