Replaced front discs and pads and did a part brake fluid flush.  And replaced both droplinks.  Took it for a test drive and corfekbuggerme, what a difference!  Brakes much much better and car is now surprisingly quiet.  Amazing how the clicks and clunks from the droplinks simply merge into standard background noise and, once replaced, you realise what a quiet drive the car actually is....   ;)

Had been playing in the Westie all this week. Weather was looking a little dodgy today, so went to start Omega. nothing.

Then spotted the new crank sensor I've been meaning to fit on the passenger seat. *(&*("$&"ocks! >:(

So, out with the jack. New sensor fitted and off to work. :D

Weather turned out to be pretty much OK too. Only rain was when I was outside fixing the Omega ::)

I'll have a drive around first, to find it. Don't feel up to wandering around aimlessly...

Had my gearbox fluid and engine oil changed also had the oil canister converted to twist on. :y Both nice and smooth now. Sprayed the first coat of primer onto my new bumper.
