You wouldn't believe how much I ache (and how sunburnt I am!) to achieve that shine, though ;D

No gain without pain :y ;D

Handed back the Focus :D :D :D

They said bring it back with an empty tank, so I did.  Buttocks were clenched, as trip computer said 0km range the Coral Bay side of Paphos, and it was a tad 'missy' after turning into the airport road, 4km out. I know the nearest petrol station to the airport is about 7km away. Still, not my problem ::)

Estate - complete service - oil & filter, pollen filter, air filter, fuel filter.  Checking front brakes & discs noticed Vx dealer who fitted new discs and pads didn't fit brake sensor, just cut it and shorted it out (typical Vx service).  Checked suspension, steering, lights, exhaust etc.  Only other issue will need replacement back pads soon.  Washed and vac'd.

Jag - fitted new air filter and pollen filter.  Next few days, oil & filter change, new fuel filter, suspension, steering, brakes and exhaust check.  Plus all lights.

Knackered!!

Oil change on my 3.2 & Father T's 2.2, changed spark plugs on his too. Odd issue with lump start up, not loosing any fluids and plugs clear  :-\

Jetwash the fleet. Big wash for the bike, as I forgot to wash it after Scotland  ::)

Spray exhaust bolts in plus gas ready for exhaust change in couple of weeks.

Fired up my trusty old steed (the 2.2 LPG) fired up straight away (with help from a battery booster) after 8 months of not being moved. Settled down on LPG, running perfectly! I miss the old girl  :'(

Not the best spec, by no means quick, but when I climbed in, I really wish it was not sorn as I really miss driving a manual  :(

did nowt to the Omega, but took the Avantime out, filled it up with LPG, got it washed and hoovered, then gave it a polish when I got it home as we're going on a Lake District Tour with the UK Avantime Club on Sunday  :)
