Bought a set of Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyres.
Not sure about the "Blu" bit but made in Germany and look ok. Time will tell.

Those tyres are the business. I have a set on the front, very quiet.

Had a puncture repaired today. First for about 15 years, so not to bad. Picked up a screw from somewhere.

Replaced the OSF ABS sensor. The old one was well and truly seized in and took some careful drilling out but got there in the end.

Thought about moving it from one side of the drive to the other to let the window cleaner get access to the windows. Though better of it & went to the shops for some fruit pastilles

Yesterday I went to a couple of local scrapyards and found a leather handbrake grip and a black expansion tank. I also found a RonBox on one car, I was tempted but decided against it - I believe that the remap is the better option. Hopefully I will have the remap done this week

I followed the 'How to...' to clean the drivers side front switch pack, it worked a treat. Its amazing how such an easy job can make such difference.
