Ok, With only 3 days of holidays left, today I was going to go for a bit of a drive but the weather was a little miserable so I desided to stay home. I washed and vacumed Pash and thought to myself I might just go a step further today.
After many days n nights freezin as I drove, I thought surely I could hook my heater up, how hard could it be.......after a little while.....wont say how long......and ok I made a phone call for instructions too....... I successfully completed the job. Yes Im proud as punch because i went one step further than just checking the oil or changing a wheel and for a brief second I thought I was a real mechanical wizz.
I have a long way to go but Ive made the first step, no looking back now.

Oh I also tightened a windscreen wiper blade lol

Well done Ree, feels good doesn't it? 😀

You wanna come down and get my rear brake drum off for me? It's stuck and frustrating the hell out of me! 😠 I still haven't changed those wheel bearings yet, even though I've done four thousand kms since I bought them! :o I'm borrowing a puller this week so I can remove the hub and drum as a unit. :thumb

Hmmm, there's something about chicks working on VW's that really does it for me! 😉😀

Hi Star
I think the wife's a lost cause as far as getting grease under her nails is concerned, but one of my daughters has taken up the challenge, Hooray for new age women!
