Removed the IACV, cleaned it out with WD40 as another poster advised. Not turned Mo over yet just in case it hasn't solved the bouncing revs problem. I'll take her for a run tomorrow.

Filled up the ZT with 97 Ron E5 and popped it through the local car wash. Then remembered it's NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- at cleaning the car once I saw all the bits it missed! Quick bucket and sponge job in the morning methinks!

Drove the ztt to the local park so that Meg could have her daily sniffings and walkings, she was a bit pi55ed off that the anglers had erected a fence around her swimming hole….

Sandblasted a wheel with paint damage yesterday. Those 18 inch wheels have a lot of surface area!
Today it got a coat of primer. Paint and clearcoat to follow next week.

Hoovered both of them, did the seats with gliptone, checked the tyre pressures and gave the gold one a power steering fluid change, can’t remember the last time I did it?

Blue is back on the road after track rods and an MOT, so I took her to work today for the first time in 6 months!
