Fitted poly bush to nearside front wishbone.  :y  Watch out for the next installment tomorrow as I only had time to do one side today.  ;)

In the meantime I've been relegated to a purple Ford Fiesta.....  ;D
How long did it take  :y

I use a whole cutter for removing the centre, if that helps. Then go with the jig saw to cut through the metal bands.

Fitted cd/radio as required iso cable and aerial adapter arrived today.Rust spots to sort out tomorrow on the micra.

VXL V6

Two new valves on and a puncture repair on the Alhambra, also splashed a bit of rust converter on the small spots of surface rust until I can get some time to sand it out properly.

Rain-X'd the rear window on the 3.2

New windscreen hopefully being fitted to the 2.6 on Friday ::)

That's a good idea,  I miss the rear wiper on my saloon. :(

Cleaned breather pipes and plenum. fitted new thermostat and inlet pipe ( all works - but in first trial run didn't connect the one of the pipes on the front of the plenum - first thought oh no...... but in closer inspection find out that was only the pipe uffff) B Bolt hurray took me max 6 minutes. Unplug the Power sounder ( was draining battery like crazy )VX told me that new one need to be programmed to the car
few more things to do
VX dealer give me the price for cam cover gaskets £120 all together (or work done by them almost £400)

is it worth to buy the gaskets from VX or different place ?

Vx ones do seem to last better... :-\

Have a good read of the guide and order the parts as suggested :y
