[Doctor Gollum]

Are they open? Alot of the Sandringham Estate public amenities are closed on and off over the next week

Nice break if it's all ok.

Filled up the car, nought unusual in that. But there was also a double decker bus filling up as well

No fuel at the depot....   

Don't let your tanks run low folks!   

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

Thought I'd give the Trooper an oil change. Towing the Z to a track day tomorrow.

Didn't bother to check how full my waste oil catcher was.

Now the drive looks like the Exxon Valdez disaster. Might need to replenish the kitty litter supply after this.

Went back to the same Sainsburys filling station in Helston a couple of days later, and another double decker was filling up...

Those Kernish bus drivers must be racking up the Nectar points!     

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Derv 28p a litre more expensive than proper fuel at a couple of petrol stations close to us.

Somebody somewhere must be making an extra bob or two.

139.9 against 167.9

They are bloody good at forcing you into hedges more, hence all the scratches down the passenger side of the Big Black Pussy

Today, fixed the coolant warning that I had assumed was the sensor, but far more schoolboy error.

Removed the soft touch coating from the Cruise Cancel button and the steering wheel heater button, which I clearly missed when I did the other buttons on the steering wheel 2 or 3 years back.  Also removed the sticky coating from the drivers door switchpack, still need to do the other 3 doors.

Replaced the indicator stalk, in the hope that will stop my lights coming on randomly.

[TheBoy]

Oh, and popped it back on charge, despite it's 300 mile trip yesterday, as all that door opening and having the wireless on took the battery down to 50%

Obviously replacing the stalk was easier than making sure the sensor on the screen was clean ]

No, it wasn't the auto lights coming on - different dash icon.

Fair does but it does sound like an excuse not to clean it

Yesterday put the dashboard and the other bits of the interior back into the C1.
This morning, removed the n/s front hub in readiness for another one arriving in the next few days.
The wheel bearing is absolutely shot, and not having a ten ton press handy its easier to replace the whole hub.
This is more than likely the cause of the strange noise that I probably misdiagnosed as knackered PAS motor.
So ripping out the dash and steering column probably didnt need to be done.
Having said that, the PAS warning light used to appear for the first 100 yards of driving, and thats stopped now, so not a complete waste of time and money.

This afternoon washed all the Saharan dust off the Leaf (two bucket method of course) and then dried it.
The C1 is parked next to it, so it seemed rude not to do that too. It was caked in mud from top to bottom.
I feel old and a bit knackered now. 
Gave the Omega a good wash while housesitting in Walton on the Naze about a week ago, but thats covered in Saharan sand now too, so that needs doing again.
As for the Sons Civic - words fail me.
