New Dis pack and HBV. Cured the misfire and hopefully the coolant leak! 

Also gave the old girl a bit of a talking to, along the lines of "...if you mess me about much more you'll be headed for the crusher me girl!!"

The operating lever mechanism is probably part seized.

Covered nearly 200 miles in the TD yesterday (Sun) visiting the Spring Fair at the Royal Welsh Showground at Builth Wells.

Outward via the Brecon Beacons and home via the Sugar Loaf and Towy Valley. Fantastic scenery throughout both journeys!

Changed the engine oil/filter on the TD.

Got four 5-litre cans of GM 10/40 semi-synthetic for £48.28 inc; from my friendly Vx bloke!

Been stripping a load of parts of my 3.0 breaker car before it goes to get weighed in soon. Was in two minds whether to take the heads off or leave them on decided to whip them off in the end. The one thing left to do is get under it and remove any suspension/steering parts etc I want to take off.Tempted to pull of wishbones,newish rear springs and a quite a few other parts,but then have the problem of how to get on moved onto the beaver tail truck which usually takes the shell away for me.
Decisions,decisions.

Called the AA out last night as the M3 decided it only wanted to use five out of six cylinders and fail to idle. Hoping it's just a coil pack but that resulted in a ride on a demountable all the way home.

This morning I reversed the Omega into a concrete pillar in the office car park so there's now a big scuff on the bumper and rear quarter.

It's going to be one of those weeks..

Just adjusted the shoes as per the guide or did you follow the full guide.

Also was the handbrake cable slack when the shoes were adjusted.
