Swapped the cars over today. Woke the Bear up and brought her home. Left Redfive under a cover over at my brother-in-law's.

Desperately trying to remove the middle balljoint from the lower wishbone out of the sub-frame (arm needs to be replaced) during MOT repairs. Not budging after hammering nor dropping the bolt onto a car stand as described on this forum. getting impatient now!

Hi,MOT time for the launch car comming up on Friday,so rear wheels off and handbrake adjusted, again.Front wheels off to inspect front brake pipes on advisory from last year,although when asked for replacement quote after MOT was told not to worry and wait,so will see what happens on Friday,still cleaned them!Noticed one of the front tyres had a minute tear along the inside tread mould almost as if thinking about delaminating,so put on my spare new Goodyear shod wheel/tyres on the front.Cleaned the undertray from a few oil stains then noticed one of the exhaust rubber hangers was split so replaced that.Then after clearing up decided to change the rear tyres so they matched the two front ones.Cleared up again!Then remembered my offside headlight had for some reason decided to drop down so off with the bumper thinking the headlight adjuster had popped out of its socket but all intact so bumper back on and headlight adjusted to approx height manually.Cleared up again and locked everything away before I found something else to do.Regards Ry...

Put it in Snow mode, and it worked nicely.

Retrieved Mo from the garage after they took the pink coolant out and replaced it with blue. Owner said there was a massive air block in the engine. I knew that, which was why I took it to them for the change

Unfortunately the heater was blowing cold air all the time. Some bleeding and squeezing of pipes on the cards when the snow clears

I was supposed to remove the back bumper today and reseal the rear vents but ended up doing two tip runs. It’s raining so I didn’t want to remove the bumper anyway �� I put some talc in last week and there are two signs of water. There’s one vertical line that starts nowhere and it’s dry above it, also one small circle in the boot floor but again no obvious place higher up. A bit more talc and let it develop in the rain......

Not sure why but the forum won’t allow me to upload from my iPhone, did it via the iPad and the photo has rotated?

I cleaned it. It promptly started raining 10 minutes after I walked into the house

Mine has stayed in the garage for three days. Most time it has not been used by me. It must think I have fell out with it.
