So what have you done to your car today?

Yet another oil change had to resort to using 5w30 as I forgot to aquire some more semi synth when I picked up the filter tother day expecting the lifters to be a touch noisy with the thinner oil...

Can't grumble though, 20 litres of 5w30, 5 litres of coolant, 12 plugs, 3pollen filters and 6 oil filters for the 3 work Vectras and the oil filter for the Omega were a whole £70...

Chucked TBE in for an MOT

Mine's quieter on the decent stuff. Mind you, it's only been to the moon, not past it, to Mars and back again.

so, today I've...

sold a Peugeot 206

fixed the electric seats in a Volvo c70

put a cylinder head back on a 1934 Wolseley

and taken the Holden out for a good spanking

(Yesterday, in fact) Finally fitted the set of Yokohama AD08s that Aaron, I believe, suggested I might like to try on the Westfield, many moons ago.

Before the release agent had been scrubbed off I figured out that it will now pull all the way through 1st gear at full throttle whereas before it would sit still with a rapidly worsening smell of burning rubber.

Thought I'd try the braking performance, and realised it was pretty respectable, after fetching my eyes from the dashboard and reinserting them in their sockets.

Collected a tool in a 350z doing an "oh, look, a sportscar, I'll sit on his @rse" move. Came to a slip road with a 270 degree spiral and wondered if I could now take it without lifting... yep. 350z now so far behind I think he stopped for an undergarment swap.

And today, Mr Wood, replacing the tyres again due to having too much fun?

[MrMoffat]

Two new rear tyres, then purchased a replacement miggy

Nope. Wondering about checking their performance in the wet.

What about on ice...  ...the Westfield has been on the road for a long time this time

Gave the Westfield a bit of a fettling ready for a trip to Jockular land.

Lying underneath, looking at the gearbox.. "I suppose I should check the oil".

Unscrewed level plug.. splat! Straight into my Barnet.

Gearbox oil should be renamed "Involuntary shampoo".. "With added extract of incontinent feline".

Guess I'm having a shower next.

Reminds me, I should really check/change the ATF in TBE.  I'll wait until that nice Mr Wood is about, he enjoys a good hairwash in stinky oils

Swapped mig for an Insignia CDTI SRI as it's gone for insurance repair. Seat's uncomfortable, turbo lags & a lesser spec'd model but otherwise ok.

Although having put £85 of diesel in it, told by computer it has 645m of range, and having driven it to chelmsford, stafford, surrey, york, surrey & home discovered it was telling the truth, I wonder why in hell I'm driving a 3.2 v6 in the first place!

Are there any other diesel migs other than the 2.2?
