Fiddled about with it today and fixed the rear reversing light bulb fault, by linging up the pins on the bulb holder, so they actually fit between the lugs in the plug. Full brightness now. :)

Wyns lifter treatment in, and rainexed the widows after cleaning all the wax from the car wash off the glass. Always smears.

You trust a car wash  :o
I know, ianu will be slapping my legs later ;D but I've had too much agro with the Kosovans and I'm oppsed if I'm cleaning it myself in this weather. (It was cleaned a week ago btw, still looks good too)

The weather is driving me mad too. Can't wait to give it a 'proper' clean.

Come spring I'll get a proper detailer round I think. See how they do it, see if I can pick up some tips, a full clean, clay, polish, wax just takes me forever tbh.

Time is the down side, and that's why the experts can actually make some money at it.
Mines definitely due a clay again, and I would quite like to have a go at machine polishing. Just need to find a venue as I've no garage and would be a little wary of doing it outdoors.

I was just a spectator in the end. Good to catch up buddy and to meet James.  :y

As my cam covers are leaking, stripped the breather bridge off along with the throttle bodies. Cleaned them out and refitted......quite pleased the car still started after I dismantled parts of it ;D ;D ;D

Had 2 Michelin  Primacy tyres fitted (front ) today, rears done  at the end of October. So should last me till  I retire now, going part time in Apri,l so will only do around 5,000 miles a year.  Also booked in to have new front pads fitted, brake fluid changed & new fuel filter fitted on the 24/01/13..
