After rebuilding the top end of that Estate and getting it perfect...

I did an oil change last night using 10/40, cos the old stuff was horrible.

I used the car at lunchtime today, and I now have a permanently very noisy lifter, just like Tunnies  :'( :'( :'(

I can't be bothered to strip the top end down AGAIN  >:(

Thats how i feel about project Elite! -  Its a bloody shed that happens to have wheels!


I did'nt know that sheds had wheels lol i thought i would make you smile mark but i see your point ;D

Have seen lots of sheds with wheels...


You can get an office to go with them too now!

I WILL fix it, I guess it's just a bit disheartening when you get a setback following everything working so well.

Shouldn't take me too long to whip cambelt out and get the covers off. I guess it's also a good opportunity to change that knackered Vacc tank.
yeah, i know what its like.  I have most of last year with Project Tractor!

My weekend is going to comprise of fixing her Rover (possibly HG - water loss and oil loss), and the MV6 (rear shocks, front discs and pads so I can get rid of those awful pattern ones, plus whatever the problems she mentioned yesterday).

I hope its warm and dry, else I'll be asking Tunnie to use his garage...
