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
ree: bounce

Go Ree!!!
Wish my lady would pick up a spanner!
I hoe you had a celebratory beer when you were finished!
Rob......

Ree: beer
isnt it such a wonderful feeling when you have taken something apart/put it back together and it works? :bounce
And it makes it all the more wonderful when you are female and did it with no help from a man! 
girl power woohoo!
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! 
Hang on Hang on, let me just see what a brake drum looks like first before you ask me to pull yours off.....Id probably go pullin the cv joint off
or something . Dunno what a cv joint is either but I think its around that area haha
boy oh boy
Ree
Yeah, CV has to come out too so I can pull the rear axle and change the inner bearing. :thumb
Good work Ree...
There is nothing better than sitting down and thinking.... I did that!
Its a great feeling!
Keep it up!
:thumb:thumb:thumb
:beer

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!
