Fitted a new headlamp bulb (thanks Ronnie ) and contemplated how I was going to get home when I couldn't see out of the windows.
1400 miles last week, and the lad's looking more than a little grubby. Still never mind it's raining this morning, so another self wash day Brian |

Swapped out my coolant rail, took this one off
And fitted a brand new one I found on the bay of E's So I am now really pleased with myself because It only took 3 hours.

Towbar
Made my Tourer more useful:
The Bumper back on: Just need to sort this out: and get it looking like this: Not a bad job, but bumper screws on a 13 year old car take a bit of fettling. The only hard point was getting the bolt above the exhaust back box in, I had to grind it down a bit to squeeze in above the box. |

Removed a rodent!
Todays task was to remove the under-bonnet insulation that had been rodent damaged and replace it with a nice clean undamaged panel just sourced from the local scrappy.
I was surprised to find the culprit still in residence! But deceased, apparently something in the insulation material must have disagreed with it... |

Sidelights
Fitted Philips WhiteVision halogen sidelights. They match the headlights now, a great improvement! Mind you, I didn't realise how bad the old ones were until I removed them, really blackened inside after 10 years' use. The blue tint doesn't show in the reflectors, which suits me fine.

Noticed a crack in the windscreen this morning after scraping the ice off, approx 7 inches long coming from the nearside bottom corner. Called autoglass through the insurance: due to be replaced on Saturday with a nice uncscratched, no chips screen, bit of a pain paying the excess but at least I get a nice clean screen.
