Acquired my first supermarket scratch. Not worth making a song and dance about, it's only a car. ;D

Found that I have a P0420 code  :(

What puzzles me is that I don't have the spanner light as a consequence :-\ (and it does have a bulb fitted so there  :P)
It doesnt bring the light on until a further threshold, beyond that needed to register a code. It will do soon though.

Had the rear passenger side tyre repaired after picking up a puncture from a hawthorn type piece of wood, Most likely from all these bloody farmers cutting their hedges around their fields and leaving the mess on our roads. Wonder how many tyres get damaged this way!  >:(

Gave the mig a bit of tlc as it's been sat since the 1st of November. Cleaned sills and inner arches and given a good few coats of waxoyl. Replaced the other door bush so no more clicking. Gave it a good wash with some meguires gold class shampoo. Had the wheels off to give the brakes a clean with some wynns brake cleaner as I had a little squeak occasionally when braking. Short drive later everything lovely.  :)

Must be the cold weather, as the Bullet was particularly eager to get me to work this morning...

Swapped tyres for winters today, expecting some snow tomorrow. She drives relly smooth, without vibration on steering wheel since the tyres were balanced (I really hope this will not cause another tyre thread)  :-X

Yep. Arrives about the same time as a layer of slippery salt on the roads. What fun! :D
