Drove it to the beach, enjoyed a pleasant couple of hours in the company of my wife and my PBGV, oh and roughly eighty Italian Spinones and a single GBGV

Drove it home after a nice hot cuppa, and planning on doing nothing else today

Oil and filter change.

Adjusted track rods to straighten the steering wheel up.

Adjusted handbrake at the rear drums.

Great to get these bits out of the way - still a few jobs to do over the next couple of weekends but these were priority. It was really grating on me driving round with a wonky steering wheel and having to leave her in gear when parked up.

Gave the Bear a good blast up the A38. The fuel gauge can certainly move.

Had to sort out the airbag light after a trip up the coast. It was the passenger side needed contact cleaner on the yellow plug for a change! All fixed and back to normal in less than five minutes.

In for its mot today. Failed on n/s track rod end and imbalanced front brakes. Bit annoyed at the second as it’s only a couple of months since I replaced all the brakes and cleaned up the sliders. Oh well, first fail since I’ve owned the car so can’t complain.

Advisory for 3 tyres showing slight wear on the outer edge too. I knew about that, I rotate my wheels front to back regularly and there’s still plenty of life left in them and wasn’t expecting it mentioned.
