Well, having taken delivery of my new 75 earlier in the week, I took the opportunity to check all the levels properly, check plenums, tyre pressures & give it a jolly good wash and wax!

Reasonable day today so gave the 260 a wash and general once over. If its the same tomorrow I'll swap the washer jets, same mod as I did with the turbo, fit Ford Focus Mk3 washer jets, way better than the MGR ones.

After noticing the handling of my manual tourer a bit 'floaty' compared with the Auto I had been using for a couple of weeks, I took it into work today for a look in the warmth and under cover.
The drivers side rear shock was totally shot, with the passenger side not far behind it.
In a stroke of good fortune, I had removed the very good Boge shocks from my engine donor car just before it went to be scrapped, and they just happened to be in work,so a couple of hours had the 'new' shocks fitted, and handling restored to normal.
Next job, try and find out what actual radio aerial extension I need to get Sean's DD unit working on my Highline set up, I'm struggling to find a definitive answer!

(v6) Changed the oil. Biggest pain was refitting the undertray.

Went on the hunt for bits, found a FBH but the board was missing, and a good carpet, but will have to wait for them to strip it before I can get it, so came home empty handed.
Thought I better check the noise I'm getting from the front. Found my flexi pipe is leaking, and one of my front wheel bearings is shot

Think I've bought money pit :,(

Walked past it on the way to the shops, wiped a bit of bird poo from the rear bumper, that's it

never moved for 2 weeks

Collected my ZT-T CDTI yesterday

The rear wiper now works (the spindle was seized) and the radio now receives stations

(1.8t) cleaned and greased the bonnet latches because the bonnet release handle was not springing back into place at it should. All ok now.

Gave it a polish and went to Halfords as my telescopic magnet broke so needed to buy a new one and then got approached by a random member of the public asking questions about my car ,love it when that happens always makes me grin
