So what have you done to your car today?

[Shackeng]

P/Exd SWMBO's Jazz for a pre-reg same with only 35 miles, £4k under list and got what we wanted for hers, plus warranty, plus 5 year service plan (inc. oil filters etc.) and floor mats BUT no spare wheel! They only fit aerosol cans now, so 1st thing to buy is a spare wheel, as they still supply a wheel well

He lied about the mileage! It only had 4 miles on it.

And fitted some chavee led number plate lights(dam bright)

Chavtastic

Still, at least they shouldn't fail so quickly

That's the idea, also put one in boot courtesy light,WOW boot area now lot brighter.

I think a lot of old style ultrabright LEDs, whilst bright, actually give poor illumination if that makes sense.

Took wheels off the MV6 and will get them back next week like new , oil change and filter change, air filter. Tomorrow will see new wishbones and poly's, track rods and idler. Next week I will see if I can get it up to WIM. Plugs also tomorrow.

Had it all cleaned and vacuumed out by the local car cleaners , they must have filled the hoover full of dirt  Looks very nice now

Well after six hours out in the nice fresh air today, I only had time to renew wishbones and add front poly's, renew both compleat track rods, near side drop link with offside almost done. Steering idler would not come off, even with two hammers ( will have to try again tomorrow) is there another way ? Always use two hammers in the past but this will not drop.

Jobs still to do, rear disc's and pads, plugs, breathers, cam belt and water pump.

Busy day there

Tension the idler with a two legged puller then smack it

Is there room to get a puller in or do you drop it first ?

Almost dumped my lunch into my smalls when it unexpectedly decided not to go straight

There should be with a minimum of fuss... take it you're struggling with the body end rather than the tie rod end

Driver error or piss poor gritting

Whatever the state of the roads, its always driver error really.

Car temp was reading 2C, so I'd suggest either a localised chilling or fluid spill.

Either way, it still driver error

With the bit that connects with the cross member which then connects to the track rod, has a rubber cover below it, always popped in the past. This one does not want to move
