Not today but yesterday, which was actually a sunny afternoon
, I finally got a few jobs done.
I'd noticed that the temperature had been dropping on some long trips recently, so I replaced the Renault 5 stat. I'd previously bought the kit from Dmgrs in 2019, so I got 5 years from it, and it cost the exact same price last week!
Bit of a struggle getting the old one out, but the new one slipped in easily.
I did an Oil & filter change, my 12volt oil pump from LIDL yet again saving all the crawling about underneath. Would have done the PCV too but an error from Dmgrs meant it hadn't arrived , though customer service was excellent and it was swiftly sorted and is now on the way.
I replaced some perished rubber diesel fuel lines to and from the filter, following the rather messy burst pipe from a few weeks ago
, the smell has nearly faded away...
I ordered a couple new 16" tyres. I've not bought any for a few years and was surprised to see prices. £230 for 2 x Uniroyal Rainsport 5s which with the recent weather is quite fitting.
Though hopefully it won't rain for about 2 months....
