Decided that the loose LPG tank had rotated far enough when it was reading empty after 100 miles, so rotated it back where it belongs and tightened the tank straps. ::)

Got the last bulb in the climate control in and found out ways of manoeuvring the vast amounts of redundant wiring so I could get the H/U back in. :-X
Just need the new climate shroud (from Jon) and the reverse camera monitor wired in and I'm done! ;)

Oil and filter, coolant top up, brake pipes greased, handbrake adjusted and exhaust rubbers replaced on Mrs VXL's estate. O/S track rod has a little play in it and front discs and pads required soon.... question is, do I fit one of the sets of OEM pads i've got with new discs or TC ones.....

Well this morning I stood looking at it for some 10 mins! Man it's good to own a Miggy again! Especially this one! What a credit to its previous owner  :y

Drove it to a prearranged location to use it to tow a 3.2 elite from there to another location.
Other party wasnt at agreed meet up point.He had decided to wait somewhere nearby which would be easier for me to find. He rang and texted me to let me know,but my phone battery was completely dead so we couldnt contact each other.We then went round in circles trying to find each other,which eventually we did.
Got to where the 3.2 was and opened the boot to get the A frame out.It then became apparent that I had left two of the three parts of it in my shed,so the car wasnt going anywhere.
Albsiemers strikes again.  :-[ ::) ;D

I always carry a backup battery, when I use net and 3G , batteries cant keep long.. and it can cause lots of problems for those occasions :-\
