Right where do I start!

Gummi Pfleged the door & bonnet seals

Replaced all 8 spark plugs - V8 or else!!

Replaced the Radiator, thermostat, flushed the system, fitted new fan cowl filled with new coolant and bled the system

Replaced both LPG filters (pre & post vaproriser)

Drained the transmission, replaced the filter and gasket and topped up with fresh Mobil oil. The oil that came out was very sludgy, there was also a lot of swarf on the magnets. Fill aand rain plugs were VERY hard to get out.

Fitted Front mantec sumpguard - needed SWMBO to help with that one and a double jointed wrist!!

Took her to refuel for a test drive, she is pulling like a train and touch wood no torque convertor vibration!

I think that is it

Oh yes also changed the engine oil and fitted a new oil filter housing


Hopefully she'll be tip top for our trip to the alps!!

you have been a very busy little bee then pal

Wish I was little under there doing that transmission oil change!!!

Drove to the dump to get rid of all the rubbish from yesterday's escapades

Changed the Rear Diff oil ( it was getting dark last night!! ) and pleased to see the oil looked OK as the case was a bit oily!

Drove 298 miles round trip to deliver a Christmas present to my dear ole Mum. Sat at 75mph on cruise control most of the time. A lovely relaxing and comfortable drive and for a 4.4 AJV8 dead happy with a fuel return of 23mpg. Car is now suitably filthy for me to try out my new snow foam and polishing kit!

Blimey NobbyC, how do you get 23MPG? Best I've ever done is 17MPG on a long run.

Nowt special,. Car has had a major service this year with autobox flushed thro and diff oils changed and has been smooth as can be ever since. Other than that I just make sure my tyre pressures are spot on before any long trips. Could be down to a lighter right foot when accelerating away from junctions, etc I suppose. Local driving I get between 17.5 and 18.3mpg and all fuel consumption is calculated on actual fuel useage as I always refill brim to brim rather than going by the inaccurate computer read out. Worst consumption I've had was 14mpg in the snow.

250+ mile round trip to St Andrews (The Home Of Golf) this weekend, around 28mpg, enjoyed ever minute!

Merry Xmas everybody!

Santa brought me some nice FF gifts:
