Default Not as much as I intended

All these five minute jobs and most of the day had gone.
Isn't that always the way?

Still battling with the fan but that's another thread.

On the positive side:
Cleaned PCV and replaced filter and seals
Fitted new air filter, oil and filter to follow
Viton seals to intercooler hose
Cleaned out washer bottle
Bonnet catch block mod and a general poke around

Only the other day someone said don't believe them when they say "It's just been serviced".

Too right, this was supposed to have had an oil service. I'm not quite sure how they serviced the oil but it wasn't by changing it! They also managed to put around a litre too much in there at some point

Gave Shadow a long overdue wash and wax.

One of the neighbour kids ran past chasing another one and put a bit sticky handprint on the bonnet after I has just finished that section.... and the little cherub is still breathing. I'm mellowing in my old age.
