Started the seemingly mammoth task of applying Meguiars Leather Balm to the interior leather.....which is, of course, everywhere, being an Autobiography!

Dunc. The life you have is the only one you'll get; make the most of it.

First Bong of the year, stopped on an incline in heavy traffic this morning on my way to work... I dare not look but have to...

"Low Screen Wash"

Yeah, alright... phew... you cheeky bastard!



Leaving work I turn the key and sure enough, Bong again...

Yeah sure, I just laugh...then seeing the message



"Check Coolant Level"

You've got to be kidding me, you foul tempered beast


Cracked expansion tank. 10 minutes to replace if I can get my hands on one tomorrow.

Made my eyes hurt by filling up with petrol £102!!!!!!! Then I realised it was tesco momentum but soon as I get going down the a13 even while towing this bad boy it still makes me smile every time.... trusty old 4.4 v8

Fitted new expansion tank. Got lucky stealers had one sitting around. Did not come cheap at €160 with a bottle of coolant and a gallon of water but the fat girl is up and running again in less than a day.

Filled up some washer fluid too...

And cleaned the engine bay of all the splattered coolant...

Collected another range rover. 4.2 sc for £2k

Got the 322 back from the body shop, upper tailgate rust sorted, again !!
Wheels back from being refurbed, and powder coated, full set of AT3s fitted, fresh centre caps, and a new start/stop button.
Looks like someone owns the old girl now.
Just rear wash/wipe to sort!!
And jobs done

Completed the murdered out look today with a smoked high level stop light from Powerfuluk.

Fixed the headlamp wipers. For good this time.

Took a trip down to Canterbury to pick a piece of the jigsaw for the subaru. Needed a rear diff as the current one is too small so needed a new one. Bye bye £500

Changed my first smart key battery on L322 2012 Westy... realise now I need new eyes!

2 batteries off Bay of E £2.99

Some main dealers (con artists) might charge £50 or £100 for this pleasure: battery included of course.

Took the Rangey to Corbierre!

In the absence of the quad, called into service up the top field (no surprise why it is called that)

Properly unblocked the sunroof drains.
They had always been draining rather slowly.
Lots of African sand in them...

And fixed the Low Range switch.

Took it for an MoT test. Passed with advisories for oil misting on the rear shocks.
