Swapped the engine loom and treated the car to its 220k service ::)

Might even wash it tomorrow :P needs 2 more front tyres as the duruns I got stuck with are absolute crap.  They've only lasted 3k which is a blessing :o floating round corners in a two ton boat has killed the outside edges. Fortunately the autogrips on the back don't really handle water either so the car actually drifts around corners quite nicely rather than simply understeeting into the scenery :-X

changed the crank sensor on the 2.2 , to no avail ! horrible job to. Removed the ecu for a look over and maybe replace.

Cleaned, clayed, polished out some scratches (lord knows where they came from) waxed. One panel at a time. Dodging in and out of poxy bloody rain showers. Will It ever give up? :(

After the air-con gas had leaked out after 24H i went back today and they now say its is leaking even though they checked it twice before filling  ::)  anyways now their offering this stuff to put in to possibly fill the leak hole or whatever it is for £25 ( by saying they i mean ATS garage) and half price on a re-gas thought that was a Bl**dy cheek that i had to pay again but i might just take them up on thir offer not sure yet as it may cost ££££ to fix properly..  :-\

Stuck two new Hankook Kinergy Eco K425 tyres on the rear.
158 quid all-in. :-X
Gettin' seriously hacked-off by those who ignore the wisdom of proven experience ... and Forum guidelines.

Fitted new heater control valve, due to more water falling out of the car than has fell from the sky this week.....


NOT a fun job

Fitted new MAF sensor, easy job, didn't fix the problem  >:(
Trouble strikes in series of three's, but when working on the car, the next job after a series of three is not the fourth job -- it's the start of a brand new series of three

cem_devecioglu

washed and polished including alloys..just finished now.. exhausted :P

Lazydocker

Oil and filter change on the loan van, checked it over generally and then went and swapped it over with mine so I can get my one serviced and the damage repaired ::)

Then went and spent £280 in Machine Mart on tools and equipment for the new area :'( But at least I had a VAT free voucher and saved £60 or so :y
Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Had to use it unexpectedly when I got home from work yesterday morning to get to Colchester in a hurry. It quickly became clear that it had a nasty misfire,on both gas and petrol. Feels very much like the misfire in my previous Mig when the dispack went down. Had to use it again late last night to colchester and back - round trip 25 miles,seemed even worse.
Donnt have time to investigate at the moment,too many other (more important) plates spinning.Expect a wanted ad for a good used dispack next week.
Glad I have the old Chavalier to fall back on.
I always have spares,but not usually the ones I need. ::)
