Gave both of my cars a thorough wash and then applied my newly arrived Carpro Reload sealant, boy, that stuff is good!

Washed and dried the Conny, set the date and time on the dash cam (finally worked out how!), stood back and admired it, realised that the cold was reaching the parts that other beers occasionally reach and came in for an empty and a refill!

Removed air intake manifold, and EGR (only a bit of gunge)
fitted in line thermostat and topped up coolant. I'll be cleaning everything up tonight for refitting tomorrow

Did oil change (1.8 NA). Managed not to spill any - well almost - until the funnel slipped when I was decanting the old stuff into a container for disposal. All cleaned up now.

Had the engine out a few weeks ago to fit new timing belts and clutch. Slowly getting it back together. Today I refitted the engine wiring loom and upper inlet manifold, and the front brakes with refurbished calipers. Unfortunately the radiator I order was nicely dented, so will have to wait for a replacement.

Found some tapes in the loft (when putting the Xmas stuff away) that we had missed in the last clear-out so today I cruised the M25 to my fishing match to the sound of early 90's George Michael. Gosh, it felt good to be retro
Halfway there and the airbag light came on again Once home and stuff packed away I had a good jiggle of the cables under the passenger seat and it went out again. Other than that, everything was hunky dory.

Took my recently purchased 2.5 to Rick-Sta to have a new IPK screen fitted, no more lines and much better as a lot clearer and better contrast than the original one. One more thing to cross off the list.
Cheers Rick! |

Faffed about in the dark replacing the driver's side dipped bulb.
Headlight is now making a clicking/groaning noise at the extremeties of the self test so I must have knocked something, but what I have no idea... |
