Not today but Friday...

Drove back from our holiday in the lakes dragging our tintent behind us, absolutely faultless :) :y very happy motoring again...

Only thing is, there seems to be a noise that is happening from the rear left.... happened before going away, think it may be the rear ARB bush but not 100%...

Oh and replacement kit has 17mm bolt, not 16 which was on before  ;D

Well yesterday Daz replaced the Wishbones (Re-used the existing poly bushes  :y)  :)
Today a visit to WIM to get the Geometry setup again  :) then picked up the repainted bumper from Josh.  :)
Then finally got round to doing an oil and filter change (I'm capable of that task!!)  :y

Had to nip down one of the local garages to look at a pesky Zafira that keeps developing faults, and a Veccy-C that brings on the EML as soon as the car starts moving.  By time I got there, they had already diagnosed the Zaffy, the Veccy took a bit of logical fault finding.

Ordered some rear shocks... The self-levelling is going as it is still unpredictable. Nice Irmscher ones at a good price :y

Broke down. Twice.  Both times at really inconvenient times. Fortunately the first time it restarted quickly. Second time it needed a bit of tinkering...   ...on a roundabout
