A satisfying weekend
« on: 21 October 2007, 22:06:00 »
Got a couple of jobs done that I wasn't looking forward too...

Saturday, Omegatoy and I sorted his blowing exhaust manifold gaskets.  Much swearing and cursing, but easier than we expected, and we had a laugh.  Quickly did his oil, and did a flush and oil change on the tractor, which made it sound a little quieter :)

Today, fitted all the Bose into the MV6, and gave that an oil change (been neglected, and had done 5k on it, so way past its best).


Fixed a new coolant leak on the tractor as well.


Took them both out for a spin, and learned that the tractor really suits the box being in sports mode, and promptly set the tractor brakes on fire ::)

And I forgot Tunnie and I stripping down his Elite to check cambelt timing - which was spot on, but I think we know why his multirams dont.  Anyone with a spare solenoid they dont want, contact Tunnie ;D

Looks like there has been a lot of Omega tinkering going on this weekend then,  I managed to get the gearbox back on the MV6 today ( with a bit of help ), fixed my Dads water leak yesterday and changed the Dis pack ( yet another one ) on the other MV6 on friday night  ;)

One question though TB, hope you haven't got any oil on your weekend dress after all that work  ::)

I was gonna fiddle with the dodgy EGR, but couldn't be bothered despite the good weather.  MOT isn't until June, may only get critical attention until then.  Speaking of which, 6K since oil change, time to start carrying it around in the boot again . . .  :-[
