Driven it around, took a photo of it, but can't post it because this stupid laptop won't upload it. Thanks Mr Jobs, you self-abuser.

If you're having problems working out how to work your computer, Jaime, just drop me a pm (that's a personal message) and I'll try to help you out. 

How do I unwedge a laptop from a wall?

Temper, temper. You may have broken it now. If you hadn't done that, you may have been able to enrol in an online anger management course.

Opti has just entered the room, he will advise you about damage to laptops.

And walls... Remember the lorry incident 

Yes. Poor Opti. He lost an orangery and gained 20odd grand.

Talking of Opti, I noticed this morning a red jaaaag, parked in a layby ,south A1 Lincolnshire Newark area doing a traffic survey, with 4 other elderly people, is Opti doing a bit to supplement his pension.

Checked everything possible on the Terracan, start towing the caravan from this weekend only requirement half a pint of oil, level now perfect 😎

Takes 20 minutes to change the plugs on a 3.2... Did you stop for tea

No.

It's a PITA of a Job. Needing Fuel Hoses Removed on one side, and cables moving on the other. If I did it every day on this engine, I suspect i COULD maybe hit 20 mins, but Its only the 3rd time I've done it.

When I do the rocker gasket on the drivers side How long would you estimate.  I'm giving myself a morning.

Get yourself a diesel. The oil level goes up instead of down in one of them babies.

Two hours. With tea and butties.

Disconnecting the fuel lines is something that you would only do if actually replacing the fuel rail

I could do the V6 plugs today in 20 minutes and it's over four years since I last did a set.

Word of advice. When you remove the inlet manifold, don't drop the bolts.

Then your injectors are not leaking diesel enough to keep the sump topped up

That's right. And he probably doesn't have a dpf to dump unburnt fuel either.

After fitting a new top engine mount to the V70 a few weeks ago I still had a nasty clunk on start up and shut down.    So after watching a youtube video on where and how to change the rest of the engine mounts, I went out to have a look and discovered a loose bolt on the cross bar.  Tightened it up and I am now clunkless! 

Happy days, as I was probably going to get the local garage to do it.

You'd think an ex-Marina owner would be familiar with loose things in cars, although in that case it would, of course, have been knickers front lower trunnions.

[nellys coupe]

repainted all the bumper bars from the donor car and some brackets, and a set of brakes on a 16 plate astra.

[TheBoy]

1080 miles taking it t'up North for a week.  Behaved (almost*) impeccably as expected.


*noticed the right rear door's passive entry switch wasn't working, not using that door much, impossible to say when it failed.
