So what have you done to your car today?

Finally ordered new front discs to go with the new pads

[cd 2.2]

Scared myself with a code read and reset, only to find 8 miles later that the Eml came back on

So, the fault is definitely present then ?


I wonder.... Would that be a cam sensor fault, per chance?

 

[cd 2.2]

The cam sensor is toast .. I know that for sure but can't afford a new one till the end of the week

Noticed a wheel speed related buzzing noise a couple of days ago. "Wtf is that?  " I thought.

Today its a rumble. Ah. Wheel bearing. Bit early for an fag to fail I thought.

Jacked and inspected. Bearing rough with play. Cap off. Water evident inside. Bollards. New bearing cap used. Why hasn't it sealed..? Or has water got in through the rear seal on the hub side...? 

New used bearing pinched off the other car. All sorted, nice and quiet. Used cam cover goo to seal the cap this time. Hopefully I won't need to take the cap off again, as it won't want to come out easily now.

Blatted over to Kevins' to get my airbag light sorted...

My little hiccup managed to generate fault codes on every system except the Abs

Thanks Kevin for taking the time to delete them all and for the tea

Unpacked an exhaust, delivered just before 8am this morning

Was that the £80 ETS one If so how long did it take to arrive after ordering

Drove it to work, thinking how smooth and silent it is

'twas a pleasure.

After that little blat you've got me hankering for a manual 3.2, though.

I think I'd do without the plod lights, though. Too much temptation there.

Took my Elite to have the air con fixed.

Expected to be paying for a new condenser but found that there was still (some) gas in the system.

Vacuumed out and regassed.

All set now for some warm weather

Lights stayed off all the way home... don't tell Andy B or that Gixer bloke about wanting a manual though... you'll never hear the end of it

I needed a manual "fix", as not owned one for 2 years.  I'd have an manual Omega tomorrow if the box was any good.  I did toy with converting my old TD to manual, as that didn't suit an autobox, but I think the horrible change would have grated on me every single day I used it...
