So what have you done to your car today?

[Lazydocker]

Much overdue oil and filter change today

Although it's probably still early by Vauxhall standards Oil was darker than I like but still golden brown instead of dark so can't have been too bad

Also noticed I need wishbones and possibly idler for the next MOT, although both are probably just about within pass spec

So not that overdue then.  My last change, at 194k, had been in since 187k, and even with the constant loss oil system, was still almost black.

Called the local BP mogrels a bunch of useless retards, then tried to lay 10000 miles of rubber. Failed.

If only the bastards would track in a straight line, I wouldn't pine over the loss of TTs. Still, better than those shit £700 Continentals I bought. Not that I'm bitter about it. Much.

When i picked mine up and drove it back it wandered all over the place ... inside edges bald as eagle  Changed drop links and ball joints and never had any trouble with wandering on steel wheels

TBH, I genuinely can't remember the mileage of the previous change but it was just before the France trip in September so certainly more than 4-5k. there were traces of black but when wiped on some kitchen paper it was a nice golden colour

  Whats happened ??

Thieves smashed windows and stole an iPad in a school bag and her lap top out of her Lexus while it was parked in a school playground for her niece .

One of two incidents the same this evening according to hobby bobby expert nob head that's been round here the last hour and repeating everything 3 times.

They where extradinarily lucky, two incidents, both Esate rear windows and got electrical goods both times.

Wonder if Blu tooth or wifi was left on.
