Took the passenger seat out ready for a trip to the garage tomorrow to have the track rod ends and lower ball joints replaced.

I wondered if anyone would spot that - One of the fabricators guys from work is going to pop over and have a look at what needs to be done to get the bucket seats fitted :D

Drilled and bolted the bulkhead thru the peddle bracket. To take out the excessive flexing, that has been getting worse of late :dance:

Rang the garage up to swap the tyres, Tomorrow @ 2pm :mrgreen:

Washed and Waxed her, and Started to Tcut her, but too difficult, so Got some Auto Gleem, seems to really fade the scratches, and seems easier somehow to do the job :wink: she is getting all shiny again :dance:

Good Luck Mark, hope she passes for you Matey :dance:

Cheers
Roo :D

Did nothing to my car, but went with a mate to Blackburn to check out a little 03 but reg Feb 04 Fiat Punto 1.2 for his daughter, 43K new sump and front coils, new battery, quite a few extras, one owner full history, he wanted £1850 my mate left me to haggle and got it for £1725 plus 6 months tax and new mats :lol:
The guy wouldnt budge and neither would I (wasnt even my money :lol: ) my mate got the giggles and couldnt stop laughing he said I was worse than Dominic Littlewood :shock:

Nice little tidy motor, looks easy enough to fix when it breaks, guess who will get that job :roll: :lol:

Went to my local DIY garage and rented a lift for a few hours to change all the oils. This time I used a small cheap 12V cigarette-lighter-outlet oil changer thing which really made it very conveniant to refill diffs and transmission :-D
Did all oils last year and 8000km ago but now I found glittering metal dust in all oils and on the magnetic plugs. Not looking very good I think...
Also did an engine flush before changing motor oil and filter to see if that will help on my issue with burning too much oil.

Definately think the truck sounded thankfull and a lot happier when I drove off :D

The magnetic diff plug will always have some swarf (particles) stuck to it, as long as the diffs are quiet and no big chunks it will be fine.
