Washed the M3, checked the tyre pressures.. noticed that the front left isn't holding pressure well - it didn't with the previous tyres either which probably means the rim is hideously corroded on the bead. D'oh.
run flats?  ...mmmno probably not.

Nah, Michelin PS2 - the previous Accelera Alpha's went flat (more quickly) too, so I figure the bead is in an awful state and there wasn't enough tyre sealant applied.. I'll pop back to the tyre place and see if they'll try and reseal it.
The tyre place, as a matter of course, should have seen any imperfections, and tidied it up >:(

'Morticia' is coming home this afternoon after being left at the garage in Derby all week, turns out the extra oil leak (in addition to the rear main seal) was the gasket on one of the breather pipes which had failed.

Any more problems, and I will be getting rid and buying a Renault Grand Scenic.........    >:(

Changed passenger side cam cover gasket, yay lucky me! I should've persevered when u did the drivers side but was being lazy. It's flipping awkward with the stupid cable tray, anyway it was getting dark so I've got to reassemble tomorrow, yay!!!! And to top the lot when I'd finished the roller shutter door got jammed, tried to eat itself, and popped off its clamps on the roller, great! I somehow managed to fix that with my octopus arms. Stick with an up and over!I want to punch mr vauxhall, i can think of better ways to route stuff
