So what have you done to your car today?

[TheBoy]

You changing career, or getting something newer for people to be sick in?

[05omegav6]

Be afraid, be very afraid....

I've a newly aquired Class 1 license, and as soon as someone lets me, I shall be trying to remember how to drive properly I mean use it

As for the new car... Anyone seen Josh lately

In six years, I've actually gotten off quite lightly in the sick department people generally couldn't afford to be sick in my car

It's "18-wheeler al" now, then, Al?

[05omegav6]

We shall see what I end up in but I have been called alot worse

[Kevin Wood]

The world isn't ready.



All the best in your new career, Al

Topped up the screen wash


Oh, took all the stickers off, handed the plate back to the Council and picked up and fitted my refurbished MV6 wheels

Didn't get around to the kebab stains mostly because, once I'd put the wheels on, it was all I could manage to stare at them dribbling

Will post pics once I've worked out the whole photobucket thing

A taster...

  that actually worked...

Replaced the pads on her Panda... 3 of them had 4mm on them, 1 had no friction material So much for dealer servicing (less than 3k ago)

Fortunately she stopped early enough that the disc face was ok

Also replaced the front H/L level sensor that broke at the Lakes (cheers Pinky) instead of just using a cable tie to hold it in and cycled the levelling motors to get them back to the correct height

When I did my work experience at the Ford main dealer in Guildford, I spent most of the week doing first services. Was told to take the wheels off everything, in order to check the pads/discs

Now they only take the wheels of to change the tyres

Completely accidental actually

On a previous car she only commented on the grinding noise 3 weeks after it had started when I asked her how long it had been doing it

So all normal then

Had new windscreen fitted.So now I can book it in for dreaded M.O.T.!

Having popped the new (refurbed) wheels on yesterday, drove down to see my brother today

Ride is still fine wasn't entirely sure what to expect with the change in wheel size, but no probs

Killed the clutch LUK one done juyst over 100k, and started slipping on the M27  you know the situation,  outside lane of motorway clears, stomp on the loud pedal and the revs jump 500 or so before gradually settling back to previous speed.

Before any pedants pipe up, the car is a manual
