ITS DONE!!!!!! :) :) :)

Indeed it is.

This morning, we did the little bits, and I kindly let Marie have the pleasure of another mini ATF shower.

We had a bit of time left over this morning, so I did the cambelt kit, water pump and aux belt too, while Marie changed the spark plugs. We then did a full engine service.

She's definately running a lot quieter since we put the 10/40 oil in there, the previous stuff was quite thick. The lifter noise is now much reduced :)

(I recommend a few regular oil changes for further improvement)

Oh, and we sorted out the hesitation problem too. I'll let Marie tell you exactly how many teeth the valve timing was out by originally  ::)

Test drive demonstrated that it pulls very well in all gears, no nasty noises, and smooth changes.

So this weekend was a sucess.

Pleasant smell, isn't it ;D


Joking aside, soaked head in bath for a while, then washed hair using fairly liquid (a decent degreaser).  Obviously, being a chick, you probably treat your hair better though :P

if he's complaining about smell, ask him to join you so he can wash properly. I'm sure he'd gladly help you :P

Top job both! I can't believe how much can be achieved in little more than a day  :y

All I could manage today was to adjust my handbrake... Freezing but at least the exhaust was warm!

ATF stinks for sure but it's not as bad as the stuff that's in the Diff.
