So what are you all doing to your cars?
Will see you all at Valla! Smiley 🙂
Well I did a 50klm trip last night and when I got home found My temperature gauge wasn't working
[wire hanging under engine]
My speedo blinker light wasn't working
My oil pressure gauge wasn't working
probably loose wires..
a little bit of oil under engine.. small drip [no not Me]
I also need to raise the front off the shock rubbers..
and replace a tyre I wrecked last week when the air valve rubber split... and the tyre went down...
until it was only flat on the bottom.. still is.. lol

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲

So now all that's on the list is reassembly, some quick trailer mods, fluids check, tappets and change wheels & tyres... plus doing the usual 9-5 of course... may even squeeze in some time for a cut & polish !!!

You mean to say You are working too Dave....???

Did a wheel cylinder on the rear brakes driving into the garage this morning, Better now than half wayto Valla, no fluid on the road where I had it parked or on the drive, didn't notice the leak till 3.00pm, fluid started about a metre into the garage, have replaced cylinder and shoes, starting on the other side (why not?) then waiting till tomorrow for a hand to bleed em. Thank you Mr. Nymeyer.
