Dont like a dirty car even if it is French, so it had a quick wash. The Omega will have a proper wash & dry tomorrow. 

Not washed the Tata since  July or perhaps August. I took pictures of it looking beautiful. When I look at these photographs it saves me the trouble of actually having to wash it.

All in the mind, boys.

More water out of the NSR footwell.

wet n dry vac it if you CBA to remove the carpet/underlay, then put some cat litter in , it soaks up moisture well .change it regularly
that will give you SHORT TERM RELEIF 

Got a years ticket on the Pussy

If you're going to bin it at the nex MoT, just drill a hole at the lowest point...

Make it an inch or so across and you could fit the rubber from the driver's end of the scuttle.

Killed it dead. It is the French one though, and we are out out at 11pm, so I think it has dropped its guts in protest.
Had to dump it at the roadside and get a taxi the last 3 miles to work this morning.

Does it sound terminal?

Costco have now delivered most of the items ordered, after 4.5 weeks.

She has been on the phone again to Costco to chase up the items still not delivered.  Sadly, she seemed to have got an agent who finds new levels of gormlessness who has promised to "email Parcelforce" yet does not have a tracking number.  I think I can forsee how that email conversation will progress...

i knew what you meant 
the water in the footwell is probably a frozen block of ice today , too small to skate on though 

is it not causing condensation problems

Flat tyre on the daily, screw through the centre of it so hopefully can be repaired.

Now got to find the time to take the wheel off and get it to the tyre place.

Sounded like it could have been, but I think it will live. I got a lift back up to it and it just about started and I drove it gently to work.
It has had a leaky injector seal which I could hear chuffing a bit, so bought a new set to fit after Christmas.
A quick inspection shows that the seal isnt attempting to seal any more, so it should be just a matter of replacing that.
Its a 20 minute job, but dont have a Torx bit here at work to undo the clamp which holds the injector in place, otherwise it would probably be up and running again.

Try various screwdrivers/knives that are 'near enough' then, when you've rounded it off, hacksaw/chisel it out. Should keep you occupied for a while.

Sorted the coolant ( anti freeze)  out in both vehicles  all good strength now.
