He "shut it down" after the water board came after him for a £12,000 bill

Interestingly enough, the smoking ban was never enforced at that particular establishment

Lots of banter as well, so a nice morning

Well I hope he's fixed my radio

Today I ordered a front ABS sensor and a rear wiper blade for the 75 Tourer that has just come into my life. Hoping to start the process of tidying it up very soon!

Finally! A sunny day to get us in the mood for a bit of touching up.

The car's edges are looking much improved. What did you think that I meant?

A sunny day here in East Norfolk. Hope it's been good for you.

If it stays good, she'll be getting a T cut and a waxing too!

Another coat of chassis black put on the new rear lower arms. 2 down, 2 to go.

After a leisurely renewing of the head gasket, I got to refitting the crankshaft pulley bolt today. At 205Nm, it's damned tight so I wanted to do it safely and as accurately as poss. This 520mm log and four plastic brackets provided perfect support to the 600mm drive extension. A close fitting pipe on the wrench gave me easy leverage. The default locking tool (18G1742/ Laser LZ44120) was used on the flywheel - excellent but expensive.

Well.. following all the cleaning and polishing, this morning it rewarded me with a surprise on the ipk.

Yep, dipped beam failure 😵

Ah, Bulbo Fracasso

Don't you hate it when the car get's an "idea"

As it happens, I've boxed up half a dozen H7 for the trip

Had that last week! Have you got snake-like hands, or will you just whip off the bumper and lights for an easier insert!
