After 3 days of lift share buddy driving, I’ve had enough of BMW M sport suspension, looking forward to driving tomorrow.  8)

Bet the aircon won’t work though.  ;D

Works, but weak. Enough to keep cool on way in, will struggle in evenings though. Got next week off so will get it booked in for a top of in gasssss  8)

Used the AC on the Mondeo the last couple of days....first time ive used it this year.....nice and cool car....tho with it only being a 1.6TD, with the AC on, you have to give it extra wellie to make it move.....

I've done SFA to mine. Mainly because I'm waiting for the bits promised to be delivered by this weekend.

Oh well, I need to get another quadcopter's flight controller configured, and then sent out on its maiden flight...

Maiden flight completed without incident*.

All things considered, though, I've rather be fixing TBE  >:(


*ignoring the fact the new transmitter I bought for this is faulty (no sound), so rebound to my other. Bit of an arse, as to get to the receiver to rebind means a bit of a strip, and will have to be repeated when new xmitter is fixed.

I changed the drop links and front roll bar bushes today.  I think the drop links were original, It took me about half an hour per side to undo the siezed nuts on either side and my shoulders are killing me now!  Putting the new ones on was a doddle and took minutes.  It's made such a difference to the ride, no chattering sensation through the steering wheel when I'm going down the dirt tracks we call roads now!

As soon as you find that a droplink nut won't turn easily, cut it off. They're not worth spending any time on.
