Changed the pads on the front of the Silver Bullet, should have down it a few weeks back.

Swapped the wheels/tyres over between the 2 Omegas, due to a braking pull on TBE, which Gixer reckons is tyres. Mrs TB reckons he's incorrect. Actually the phrase she used was "he gotta be talking 'dangle berries'" ;D

Started to investigate the blowing exhaust on TBE, sounds like cat or cat to mid section, but I couldn't locate it before the heavens opened.

I really should do mine, and the discs :-[ And the HID Sensor which also objected to crashing through the pothole at the Lakes (cheers Dazzle for the replacement :y)

Gayboy will be aiming for you on the M4, Mr aaronjb ;D

At least it looks like a proper one, rather than a sign you are a junior manager/sales rep...

Mmm sport badges are, well, badges ::) reminds me of the late 90's when everyone wanted red Tdi badges on their 90bhp 1.9 tdis ;D

Had new screen fitted today thanks to AA Windscreens 8) trim seat turned up smorning, so nice new VX trim seats and rubber trims, car no longer looks derelict ::) even remembered to get new wipers as well :P

Old trims fell off as expected, the old screen put up a fight and came out rolled up :-X

I saw where the red line was and thought "at least it's not a tractor". ;D

I will admit, a similar vintage (2003) 530d Msport Touring went past me on the M40 last night and I found myself thinking "Ooh, that'd be a nice Omega replacement"  :-[ :-[

And yup Henry, SMG-II gearbox with the flappy paddles  :y
