Washed Big Ron at the local drag through carwash and then took him for the MOT.

Changed the sidelight bulbs for LED's on the facelift. I thought that it was going to be difficult but they are a piece of cake. Lift bonnet. Lift off rubber lamp covers. Pull out bulb holder. Remove bulb and replace with LED. Check LED for polarity by switching light on - if it doesn't light, remove it and replace it the other way round. Refit bulb/led holder. Close bonnet. Shimples! Nice, bright sidelights now!

You need a V8

The other advantage of the V8 is they have a large hole in the rear discs for adjusting the brakes that line up perfectly with the adjuster!

Time to whip the headlights off, take them apart and clean them internally - running without the rear caps for just a few weeks has caused all manner of dirt to enter.

Top tip - always replace the rubber caps on the back of the headlight units!

Washed, clayed, safe cut and auto glym polished today, as I put the cloths away the rain started.
Again.

Washed and hoovered her, discovered enough food under the seats to feed a small Amazonian tribe for several weeks. I've decided my kids are clearly not old enough to eat in the car or indeed out of a high chair
