Today I attempted to change the oil filter and the top of the case wouldn't budge! I then proceeded to ask my partner if she would have a go, she left the spanner in the side of the bonnet and closed the door!!!

pent an hour trying to get it undone and managed it in the end, now got a huge dent in the front of the bonnet where it bent out of shape! Time for a new bonnet one thinks!

After managing to get into the bonnet. I took the car for quite a drive and tried the filter cap again, pop it went and undone it came! Changed the filter with a Bosch one and all is good with the world.

Watched it reach 58,000mi and realised how quickly I'm clocking up the miles now (~350 per week)...

I was going to change the driver's seat, but it was only the squab that needed changing, so I changed that instead. It was changed with the seat in place and it was a lot easier than I had imagined.

The seat looks so much better now.

Washed it, dried it, waxed it, polished it......admired it!! .....and thought to myself, what would I change it for??? No instant answers forthcoming..

Took my old under-tray to council tip, would not take it, said it was "industrial waste"

Fitted a new CV boot today - The stretchy sort you fit with the aid of a cone.

The only complication was the hub nut supplied with the kit is 36mm. My 36mm socket was too chunky to fit inside the hub race

, so I had to re-use the original 32mm hub nut
