Good stuff guys :dance:

Well I bolstered my drivers seat up with and old cushion, I say bolstered, I shoved the cushion under the seat cover :oops: :lol:

I rain EX'd the exterior of the windows so the mud rolls off nicely :wink:

Then gave the dash a quick wipe over 8)

Today I took the plunge and attempted to change the centre section of my exhaust.Bought a second hand one 6 months ago cheap.The old one was bodged and leaking when I bought the fronty about 8 months ago[got a few quid knocked off though not enough to cover £350 for a new one it is a swb 2.2 fronty B petrol after all no suprises there then]Anyway got going with angle grinder got it off after a couple of minutes nice bodge job 2 bits of flexi 3 bits of pipe a big silencer box more flexi 2 flanges and more weld than what holds the Humber Bridge together[probably been cheaper to buy a genuine poxy voxy one in first place] Next got replacement out and offered it up only to find its not the same fits at the back silencer fits on two bolt rubber block crosses over but is 7" past the flange on the cat down pipe Nice all on a sunday as well
So its back to angle grinder,hacksaw and MiG 2 hours later we are cooking with gas all cut rewelded fitted and tested not a leak or knock and quiet .Now what I think is the scrap yard who sold me exhaust sent me LWB not SWB never mind cheap repair and its another ONE to me against the fronty
I have KLEPTOMANIA and when it gets really bad I have to take something !

I changed gearbox, tranny and diff oils today.

Thanks Ste for the quick check on fluids, good job I did it as the rear diff was well low. I used a drill powered pump for the first time, cant begin to sing their praises. Much easier than squirting it in through bottles.
