[Doctor Gollum]

Spent a leisurely half hour changing the alternator on the 525...

It works, and is shiny, but hasn't fixed the gearbox issue. Same codes still present

Car can go as it is...

Caveat emptor. 

Absokinglutely

[Entwood]

Little trip to Serek's to have the HBV changed ... so .. just how does he do it in less than an hour and without the requirement of a single sticking plaster

Genius the man is ..

Also discussed the next "little" job he's going to do ... all day one that "might" run into two if things go badly...

Drove it. For the first time since last week.

haven't driven mine since Saturday as it leaks oil now thanks to the shitty oil filter setup.

Had a stainless steel cat back exhaust fitted in Walsall today ( John Ashley Exxhausts ) on the Merc V8 sounds brilliant now.

Was embarrassed into throwing some water over the big kitty by comments on the Serek thread.  Turns out kitty is black.

Black is one of worst colours for showing dirt.....next time get a silver one...much better at hiding the dirt

Opti told me that there was nothing better than a black pussy.  But he did want me they can be dirty.

While i,ve never been a big fan of the gay gold colour of mine, (you can,t see it whilst you,re inside it ) i must say it hides the crap very well.

New windscreen Thursday afternoon & mot Friday & she`s only passed 

Advisory  : both rear shocks light misting.

She struggled to pass the emissions & my bloke say`s the cat is gettin lazy

I`ve noticed recently that the coolant temp reads lower now at around 80 c. 

I think my car is feelin her age a bit, but still only 52k miles on the clock

Even if you can't see the outside (that's what I say about the pig ugly arse of the Jaaaagggg), being a 51 plate, you are still borderline having the brown dash...   ...and brown steering wheel, that's like holding a turd

Change the stat and the shocks, and next time its due an MOT, give it a good thrashing beforehand for 20mins, then take straight to MOT and get them to do it immediately then (I always booked first appointment for the day for this very reason - even then he always grumbled he had to get the cat hot again).

Stat on 2.2 is nice and easy, and rear shocks on any Omega are straightforward - but if original, might need a decent bar to undo bottom bolt.

Yer will do. The stat was a pattern part & changed out when we did the water pump & cam belt 3 years ago. Never pays to use cheap parts does it
