'Kin 'ell!

Two things. . .

1. Glad I checked tyre pressures. . . All on 24psi. What a difference on the steering!
Lol

And

2. Glad I topped up washer fluid. . . The amount of shite and salt on the road I've gone through half a tank of washer fluid  :o

Now just chilling in hotel in wetherby with a cold beer  8) 8) 8)

Aye, I get through a tankful a week easy at the moment.  ::) The joy of Headlight washers for the HID's!

Put a new battery on the Alhambra... Interesting that VAG saw fit to put a non-standard size (physical) battery in it. Now list the standard size battery with a slightly lower Ah rating as the direct replacement.

Swapped battery on the 3.2 and it started first click without any lifter noise at all after being stood for two or so months....

Topped up the washer fluid, checked the oil, checked the coolant level, removed a shed load of brown mayo....??? need I be worried...??

Drove it to Asda - never again..... nearly killed some bloke for trying to take me parking spot I was reversing into....!!!

Drove to Halfords to see what I can spend my gift certificate on..... opps-all really... LOL

Mayo in coolant bottle is a bad sign. Mayo under oil cap is probably not a bad sign.

As Al says really but if you really have to use the car, pop the contents of a good 10 Ariel Liquid Tabs in the water bottle.  It will emulsify the oil and stop it bunging up the radiator / cooking the top end of the engine  :y :y
