Changed 6 spark plugs, put in Iridium. Just as well they are long lasting because it was a 3 hour time investment. Geeee, I never imagined I would need to start by removing the windscreen wipers to do that job!

Technically yesterday.... drove all over the place, took my daughter and niece to the canal to feed the ducks etc.

Turned 166,000 on the clock...

Got home, got the youngest to bed and left the Mrs in charge and went out to the garage..

Decided to tackle the In Tank Pump. (Thanks DMGRS and for the How to on this forum)

Fiddly job and my hands still stink of diesel!!! (My marigolds disintegrated on the bench) but its running a lot better now with 2 new pumps finally fitted

Then I did an oil and filter change with my syphon pump.

All in the dark using my Leyzyne bike light too...

Today I need to cut out a patch of rot at the bottom rear of the sill, prepare a plate to be welded in flush and also get a load of penetrating fluid in and around the Rear O/S upper arm bolts, new Rear upper arm is being fitted Tuesday along with the welding on the sill and front ARB drop links (again).

MOT Wednesday ....

Plenty to do, but you cant do enough for a good car
