Two MOT's, One on my 2.6 and the other on Mrs VXL's Alhambra.  ;D

Also booked MOT for the 3.2 in just under a month!  ::)

Such fun changing 8 wheels in the rain.  ::) ;D
You need a battery whizzy gun.  I've been frequently swapping wheels due to punctures, wear and failed tyres over the past month. The gun speeds it up no end.

Depends which schedule is being followed.

Every 5k. No.

Every 8k. Yes.... Ish.

Schedule as applicable. As they say ;D


...tried to find a knock/clonk from the drivers front corner. Can't find anything amiss. :-\

Tightened the steerung bix bolts a fraction and crossed fingers. Might be the spring cup catching the wheel arch liner. :-\

Thought you paid someone to change it last week :-\

As for the knock... is the lpg ecu still secure? Knocking against the self leveling gubbins perhaps :-\

I was concerned, as the canister body moved. Then stopped, before the cap finally loosened.  Are the bodies pinned?

Needed some leverage did that. :(
