Unusually,I gave it a bit of serious stick through the gears on the way back from Colchester last night,due to an annoying boy racer in his Focus.
When I got home I noticed a long string of several feet of "horsehair" trailing from the backbox.
I tugged it and it just kept coming out.Ended up about 20 feet long. ::) ;D
Got a spare pair of centre boxes here,but may also be on the hunt for a backbox as well in the near future.
Having said  that its a 3.2 back box on there at the minute,and I will be in a position to pull one off another 3.2 very soon,providing its in reasonable nick. :-X ::)

Yesterday new brakes and discs on MotherT's Estate, along with a new crank sensor.

Today, oil change on FatherT's 2.2, followed by a strip down and health check on the front brakes.
