Last Saturday morning, I watched The Master change the bushes on the front of my Elite. A decent improvement, though the old ones were pretty shot.

Soldered the red wire and fitted the omega cruise control stalk. Works a treat.

I guess you found your soldering iron, seeing as I haven't got off my backside and brought mine in ;D

Measured and made two guide holes in the front bumper for headlight washers.
Met a fellow OOFer (ChrisH) who was a very civilised and friendly chap (just like me.... ::) ;D) had a chat and a cup of tea with him and had a look around his nice 3.0 f/l elite.Then helped him fit a rear bumper inside the cabin of his car - I had serious doubts that it would fit. Touched up a few stonechips on the replacement tank for my bike. Posted off a prodrive spoiler, and thats about it really.Not a very busy day. :)

 Finished those bloody rear donuts . >:(
What an 'effin job that was they fought every mm of the way . Tested it and the back end certainly feels better but the really annoying creaking sound is still there ..... I'll have to look further .
Had a load of parts delivered from Elite Pete (  :y ) so unpacked and started to fit them this evening .
Back to real work to morrow .

Carefully (ie. don't get any onto the disc!) spray some plusgas / penetrating oil onto the handbrake return springs clipped onto the inner disc shield.

Fixed the creaking on my DTi  :y

ground off all the rusty paint on my omega rear arch lips. down to clean metal, primed them then treated them to a good coating of black stone chip paint. should see them good for a couple of years ;)
new shockers and springs arrived in the post for the rear along with the laser v6 engine timing set i ordered in anticipation of this weekends cambelt change :D just hope the weather is set fair.........loving my omega ownership so far and slowly getting her back to a good standard.

Ordered pads, fluid and sensors, so hopefully will be sorting out the brakes on the black beastie if the weather holds and the parts turn up. Bleeding kit on loan from TheBoy. Cheers matey.

New headlight wish washy - both working, great.

Drivers door checkstrap, cleaned block, sump, box and basically every part of the car below where cam gaskets had leaked, and had to laugh at the vauxhall Lincoln parts guy 'cos he's bloody fantastic.
He know's so many part numbers and is just like mark (this week i 'ave mostly been eating) williams!!
