Nothing really. I just didn't realise how long it takes.
I've seen Marks DTM do one in 45mins. Mind you, it was beer-o'clock, which always encourages him ;D

Mine's finished and all back together. The Forum DVD is excellent and helped me no end. Went to do a oil filter and found I'd been given the wrong one.  :(

embarassingly reset the emissions light (yet) again - preparing to take Omega on a longer journey from Sandhurst to Oakley Wood Crematorium (between Stratford and Leamington) for (yet) another funeral of a friend -just 69. Then on to the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel.

Hope the old Omega holds up and gives the oil a chance to really get hot after reading all the mayo posts recently.

Replaced all 6 plug leads.

Looks like misfire has been cured .Little annoyed existing Magnacor 8mm leads seemed to be the root problem but fingers crossed it fixed.Beru set I got where a real struggle as #6/#4 and #2 plug leads are manufactured almost dead length so lots of swearing getting them on dis pack then into plug well.Assume they must be dead length to avoid reducing current from dispack though !!

Tech 2'd the Mig. Headlight level control is indeed the front the wishbone sensor. Hopefully I'll replace it tomorrow if I get time.

Washed the Silver Bullet, as it was absolutely filthy. The front wheels were black.


Contemplating driving to Chester to steal Jimbob's OE pads ::)

I'm amazed that, having seen the size of them, they effectively hold up nearly 2t of car.  They just don't look man enough, though clearly are...


My MV6 is still on original at 185k.
