Valeter the mrs BMW, after being let down by mobile valeting company as mentioned in general discussion. Made a good job of it though so saved myself 50 sovs really. Although I did break a sweat, which is illegal I believe.

Fixed the LPG hose on TBE, after it blew off last night. Took it for a blast on my usual route. Part of the root has been resurfaced in the last few days...  ...and the potholes are forming. Useless cowboys.


Replaced the failed hose on the MV6, and did the annual breather clean on it. As usual, it was pretty clear.

Had another look at the OSF speaker on the MV6, which has been peeing me off for years. Not sure if its cured or not.

Omega Estate - got the crack of doom drivers door - fitted new plastic bush - now quiet - love those jobs - took me longer to find two 10mm spanners in boot of Jag than to do the job :y

In the last two weeks I have changed the LSD oil, engine oil and topped up the manual gearbox with slick 50, I have also refitted the original head unit and re-wired the Bose (to make it work again) and changed the coolant temperature sensor and changed the coolant and had new tyres fitted.Today I have changed the air con condenser and re-gassed it. (1999 MFL 3.0 elite manual) oh and changed all of the filters  :) :) :D

Got rear-ended by a dozy tart in a cheap porsche. Someone pulled out on the woman in front, she stopped, I stopped, f^*kin woman behind me didn't.

No injuries, probably 10mph into me whilst I was staionary but I now have the agro of a courtesy car & and insurance company for a new bumper, and reverse sensors that seem to not know where they are!

I know she wasn't gonna admit liability (although there's no chance it was anything but her fault), but she gives me attitude for stopping so quick! If I didn't have morals I'd claim whiplash just to cost her more money

FFS!!!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
