So what have you done to your car today?

[Shackeng]

Finished the rear handbrake shoes and disc change on the TD. I hope I never have to do that again, definitely a job where two pairs of hands would be useful.

How long! 'He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty The Boy'

Mrs TB has put her foot down about jacks in the kitchen.  I'm not allowed a jack until I have a garage 

As you saw, scissor jack works. Will fit in't boot.

What was that jack off?  I may one of them

....off? A shop.

Suggest a two ton job, if it fits under.

Ah, assumed you'd nicked it off a scrapyard car

Doubt anywhere round here sells such things....

[henryd]

Filled it up when the light came on... 55litres of Shells finest devil juice... 36mpg from the first tank

That'll improve,new diesels are always down for the first couple of thousand miles

doesn't 'egay' fall under the same heading as 'youtube' and 'arsebook' for TB, though?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Have been keeping it below 2k so far

Only done 468 miles and mostly urban/in traffic... about 15mpg up on the Omega without really trying...

I didn't think you had to 'run in' new cars these days and the advise is to just drive them normally? 

Unless you're called 'The Boy' of course!!

It's me that hates ebay. He's bought stuff of ebay on my behalf before, just for a peacefull life.

Bless him.

Bah! "Build 'em well, then give 'em hell" as a dearly departed friend of mine used to say.

[05omegav6]

  Not entirely convinced on the first part, plenty of time for the second bit though
