Why not? Free round trip by air, plenty of free beer (as a lubricant), free meals and lodging and I´ll do the job next summer.

Sorted the seized rear caliper - quick strip down, clean out and rub down and good to go, and more importantly stop.

Today I have:
Fitted the 'shaped' rear number plate Installed a permanent power feed for my dash cam Cleaned out Plenums But the big one(well I say big, it's big for me)...fitted the thermostat kit which I put off for so long but which was actually not too bad to do although getting the thermostat in the pipe was a pig, but otherwise quite happy and another job ticked off the list and now for the first time since I have owned the car the needle has gone up to the half way mark, so I'm happy! |

Steelwool, polishing creme and a lot of patience. Quite simple.

Washed (three times) the outside of Chris's car hoovered the interior and got in ready to drive to the MOT station.........oh hell what is that bloke with a balloon on his lap doing there?????
Now you have to bear in mind this is 15 minutes before the test, and the testing station is 10 miles away Ran into the house and scooped up T4 and plugged it in and booted up the laptop, then hoofed it up the road at a fair lick. When I pulled up at the MOT station I knew what had happened, and in the five minutes remaining before the MOT slot I had fixed the problem and stowed T4 in the boot. An hour or so later, I was driving to the hospital to pick up Chris from work, so it looks like she'll have to put up with driving the 75 for another year. Brian P.S. it was a pass without advisories and the smoke test was .12 of a maximum of 1.6 |
