Daftish idea - how about a "OOFers with workshop/ tools/ teamaking facilities" list, as a sticky?
Servicing and repairs done in NE. Special rates for OOFers! PM me.

I set to swap starter motor this morning. Looked that gas kit's feed pipe and it's vapouriser also on the way I've not finished yet... ::)
C20NE - X25XE

Put some petrol in it, seeing as it said Range=0 miles as I left Birmingham on Saturday night ::)

I wasn't particularly concerned about it, although the flashing light was annoying, until that tell tale 12 beeps, meaning "you're out of LPG, sunshine, and on petrol".

Put some LPG in it as well, whilst there.

I think I'm capable again now. Just don't fancy laying on a sub zero floor. So a garage sounds great :D

Need to change dipstick O rings at same time. Bastard Bolt. Hope that will cure this pesky oil leak I can't find.

Aiming to be back Friday, although I am out the night before  ::)

TheChav is booked into for MOT Saturday, dropping it in first thing in the morning. Needs a little TLC before thats dropped off, plan to swap O2 sensors (see if that fault moves) - Could do with a tech2 reset on that, so it passes MOT if thats ok. You in Friday night?

2.2 getting some light service work Saturday, oil change, throttle body clean, lpg checkup (getting LPG niff from somewhere) really needs PAS fluid change at some point too.

Not sure I am in Friday night. My best mate and his missus need so consoling, after shortening their car significantly.  So you'll find my being dragged around Brakker's town centre, frequenting such places as The Greyhound, The Bell, The Plough, The Red Lion, The Crown (Best Hotel in Brackley) and the New Locomotive. Kicking and screaming, obviously, but its what I have to do ::)

Actually, scratch The New Locomotive - you been in their recently? Very strange atmosphere....

They OK?

And, whilst asking questions... Were they hit or did one of them run out of talent in the icy conditions?
Whatever it is... I didn't do it
