Its stuck in a carpark "up north"

TunniEEEEEEEEE!

Oh dear, was up now?

[05omegav6]

Removed dead rear wishbone bushes and replaced with new shiny GM ones. So nice and firm again with the Polys. Fitted these ones back on to the car. Shyt of a job,  I never seem to manage to get the rear bolts in without wanting to set light to it . Thanks to Rob for the words of  encouragement actually only took 5hours including fitting the new bushes

Traced a coolant leak back to the recently fitted HBV , tightened the jubilee clips so hope that sorted it. Time will tell though
 
Had a good rummage around the rear suspension as it's been clonking a bit.  N/S rear shock has freed itself from the top mount, and one of the donuts isn't quite flush, might explain why the N/S rear wheel sits further back than the O/S one most of the noise is caused by the exhaust banging, all the mounts are intact but alot of play, so new ones probably in order.

Might wash it tomorrow if it's not raining

Car retrieved from a Yorkshire carpark with the help of some stationary.

Who locked the keys in it then? or was it temporarily borrowed and returned after the old bill found the V5 in the glovebox

It was either clamped or seized

Presume towed. As I'd be up to BnQ for bolt cutters or some cordless power tools if it was clamped.

Stripped the interior out of my 'spare' estate and still waiting for my diagnostic tool to turn up so i can fix my 2.2 !

[Murph]

Ordered exhaust (center and rear boxes).
One of my center boxes has collapsed and rattles like a good'un so I ordered a 3.0 setup cos it'll look better.

Only problem is I wont be able to do much with the car for a while as I broke my ankle on tuesday!

[feeutfo]

Topped up the screen wash. Checked the other fluids and pressures...

...oh, yes how could I forget. Put petrol in it.  Sigh....

[bootie]

1 lt of oil, topped up screen wash, put new mats in, failed to get locking wheel bolt off
Cleaned the wiper blades, now no smearing. Checked the lights, all good
Weather is a bit crap though, plus I can only get 1/2 way in the young lads garage

Spent couple of hours this morning giving the rear diff/prop shaft and surrounding areas a thorough clean and degrease where a leaking pinion seal has been doing its best to provide rust proofing for the underside.

Not a great was to spend Fathers day but needed doing in preparation for hopefully getting the leaky seal replaced in the week
