Decided to re seal the rear diff pan. the old one looks Ok says I until I attack it with a wire brush to tidy it up a bit and end up punching a hole in it. Oh well I've got a nice new one on now, and all filled up with fresh oil. A big thanks to Drift for his posting about changing the rear diif cover in the how to section, i found it very useful. :wink: Still finding my feet with this spanner wielding business :lol:

Down to the local car wash in me lunch break, £6.50 for the Platenium Wash.

The 5th Gear television programme did some research in to car washes

1st up, was the Jet Wash [they said no good]
2nd up, the people you visit who have a Bucket and lots of Workers giving it the once over [they said not very good]
3rd up, the Car Wash you get at your local garage, the drive-through type [they said very good].

Apparently it leaves less scratches in your paintwork Image
My Fronty thinks its a grown-up Tonka Toy [how sad is that] ?
