New front tyres   new front shocks   front tracking down still need to get full camber sorted  . Mot is due mid march   .  Got a cracked windscreen ,leaking rockers Again  >:(.  Rear exhaust looks like the pipes are on there last  days. Think it has a siezed caliper.  Runs rough possible leads or ignition module.

if i can sort all these issues and i have no more  it stay   i get one more its getting stripped and crushed i m nit throwing any more money at it

Changed the filters, oil and plugs as they were overdue because of all the MOT stuff. Checked the antifreeze, topped up the screenwash, checked my trailerboard is still working and emptied most of the assorted crap out of the car. Now it's pretty much ready to go to France next week.

Changed the plugs on the Chav, which has cured the hunting (on petrol) at idle.

Looks like I've found the next job on it though  :(

Oil change and filter done before the rain started  ;)

Also gave the breathers a full clean and was quite surprised at the filth inside plenum breather box despite car having regular 4/5 k oil changes and driving in excess of 100 miles most days .Had very slight weep from last year replaced cam gaskets so fingers crossed spotlessly cleaned breather system puts that right.

Air filter/pollen filter to be replaced tomorrow to  :y

Decided that 1 of the HG's needs sorting before starting a new season of towing the tin tent.... bugger...!!!!


Thought that the K-Seal I used would've worked, apparently not I guess....

It's either HG or an invisible water leak....

Drove to Papworth for first visit after my Catheter Ablation three months ago. A14 was a right royal pita, holdups and roadworks. Arrived late but got seen within a few mins. All that way for a five min chat (80 mls round trip) plus detours today.
Still they are damn good at what they do. :)
