Changed the oil on TBE  :-[
How many miles since the last change?
Not entirely sure, but it was pretty dark.  If I had to guess, I'd say about 10k  :-[

Put a couple of albums in that I hadn't listened to for an age and took it for a couple of hour long blasts...

Have to say, in 4x4 guise, the Insignia seems to relish being driven, with a sweet spot between 2300 and 3000 rpm... it might have half the power of the VXR, but it's just as capable through the twisties 8)

Did not do it myself, but had a new waterpump fitted & a new belt :)

I probably need to check it is actually the bearing, and not tyre/dif/drive shaft related. But it if you don't mind chucking the tools in the boot...? :)
