Rear wheel bearing, and hbv/lubed wiper mech joints re sealed scuttle.


All the shit jobs all at once. Happy bloody days!  ;D


None of those jobs are that bad, unless you have to do the wheel bearing in the rain. It went OK presumably?

Just got back from a few days in the Lake District. All went well except I seem to have lost my parking sensors.  >:(

Aaah we'll be up that way again in August, around Pooley Bridge/Ulleswater. Will be having a lovely scenic drive over Kirkstone Pass to Bowness and will stop at Windermere just for an Ice Cream... Might even have a ride o 1 of the Ulleswater Steamers again or even have a little sail about on Windermere too :)

Yes. All the Lakes are nice. Try Hardnott & Wrynose Passes & back on Honnister Pass if you have the time. Good test for the car!  :y

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep cleaning the interior, stripped out the rear leather seats and in the process of cleaning and conditioning them, also need to get a lot of sticky something of the drivers window and mirror buttons, basically a whole hell of a lot to do :y
