Mine went to the kosovans shortly after its puddle dunking in February.  One wash a year is more than enough.

The Range Rover will have to be cleaned this week it's absolutely caked in mud after taking the dogs out over the farm over the last few days , it looks like it has tackled a real off road course.

Went to change a number plate light bulb on the C1 today, as the MOT runs out soon.
Bulb was fine but there was a break in a wire somewhere in the loom. ended up lying under the back of the bloody thing unplugging sections and testing for continuity until a found it. Then ran a bypass wire and solved the problem.
Probably a Frenchman assembling the Japanese wiring loom had stretched it too tight at the factory.  ::)

It has just clocked over 170,000 coming back from Hampshire.

I also got around to disabling passive arming, a feature that had been pissing me off since the day I enabled it 2 or 3 years back, but I'd put off because my battery support unit needed the plugs changing.

Took the RRS to the "illegals" for a well needed wash £15 well spent 👍

I count it as exercise these days. Need a little nap afterwards.  ;D
I did go back out and vacuum the carpets, checked fluids and tyre pressures.
Quite tiring, so Im glad Im on overtime rate for this physical exertion.  :D

Well, if you feel you need more exercise, and are passing Brakkers....    ...but you'll have to wipe the snow off first.

I've got to go over to Liverpool for mother's funeral on the 15th, so it'll get its six monthly wash before then. I may to ferry people around, so I'd better scrape the mud of the floor as well.

Sorry to hear that STEMO, and even more sad to happen this time of year.

Thanks, Jaime. She was 96 and has been ill for quite a while, so it was not unexpected.
