Jigsaws are ok until a piece goes missing

I took 120 photo's taking the injector apart even though I have taken several apart before, but only the lower end to clean the spray pattern tip, this is going to be deep clean

I was think of investing in a Ultrasonic Cleaner, or I could use the one the Wife as for her jewellery

Reset an IPK to virgin state, changed the VIN, mileage, and all of the ZCS coding in my ZT, then programmed the virgin IPK to the car.

Put my car back together save the IPK, check all functions, then removed the programmed eeprom from the first IPK, then fitted it to another.

Result !! one IPK which would not code to the owners car on Saturday, no matter which way I tried is now ready to refit

My weekend project involved installing my refurbished V6 intake plenum complete with Stocktake VIS motors. The difference is amazing!
I was so happy I invested in a bottle of Seafoam which was divided between the engine oil and the fuel tank in a last ditch attempt to get rid of the tappity noise coming from my otherwise sweetly running KV6.
I spoiled the rest of my weekend by changing the cam belts and water pump on my VVC-MGF. It's been 5 years since I last did it and every bone in my body is reminding me I am 5 years older.

Completed the rear shelf change from smokestone non blind to sandstone with blind.
Thanks to a few members helpful hints and the forum in general.
Fitting the new blind was a bit of a challenge but with a few gentle taps it sprung into place.

Not bad for a 72yr old who has not done any work on cars for 40yrs.
As you can see,well pleased with myself.

Whoooosh! I wish that I could understand any of that!

Reminded me of that Black and white classic, "Zorba. Teach me to dance!"

Started servicing Mrs Noc's white gold Auto this afternoon.

It will be having a full C+D, as the service history looks a bit murky to say the least.

Removed the broken handbrake assembly in the rear hub, backplate rotten, it’s no good having a car that only goes out now and again.

Need to get rid of a few and concentrate on the ones we are going to keep.

Seeing as it is a bit warm, I drove to my allotment to water the plants.
