Drove it. On the 60 mile round trip, I managed to get to the speed limit briefly. The roads are full of breakless retards  >:(

It's half term  ;) Although contrary to your experience that means my morning commute now takes 30 minutes instead of 60 (to do 17 miles)..
Half term was last week in Northamptonshire. So my morning commute has jumped from 35mins (without trying hard) to 1hr15m, and a whole load of aggression to go with it  >:(

Changed the 135 coil pack, dried out the plug wells, and renewed all 6 plugs. Pollen filter walked off as soon as the clips were released, so popped a new one in. While at it, checked the air filter, which looked recent, but as the housing was open, replaced that too :y breathers nice and clear too :y

Changed the drivers door lock motor, (that's to say Rob did ::)), as that had started to stick... and picked up a back box. Thanks Rob :y

Oil can wait a bit, as I'll do both cars at the same time and tother isn't quite due. Just the back box to change next time I'm off.

Popped some more oil in it, ready for it to redistribute elsewhere. Stops it moaning.

Washed it, topped up the washer fluid, thought about getting Corsa moved / scrapped so I can park the dying DTi there instead and SORN it.
