Then put some fuel in The Proper Car ready for an overdue run out in it.
I thought about taking mine for a run somewhere, as it's barely move since its MOT.  But I might just top it up with some electricity instead, as the CBA levels to do that are easier to achieve ;D

That engine does suffer boost issues sometimes due to the actuator seizing,not easy to get but a liberal soaking with penetrative oil and a lever on the actuator rod often gets them going again
And often the cause of boost issues for many turbo cars, especially those that haven't been serviced very well over its lifetime.

My poor old battlebus used to get a sticky wastegate, which was a big problem, because it had sod all power to start with ;D.  Every time I did the oil, I always used to give the wastegate lever a good wiggle for a couple of minutes.  I do the same with the EGR levers on the big pussycat, as they can do likewise.  On the Jag, the changeover valve that changes between single and twin turbo usage sticks occasionally, though thats a bit of a bugger to get at - can;t reach from top easily, and from underneath means undertray removal.

......

.......not to mention the satisfaction of doing the job yourself. :y

Depending on the weather.  ::) I bought rear pads for my ML months ago with the intention of fitting them myself. Life & weather got in the way & I ended up getting someone else to fit them.  :-[

Discs and pads on the ML. Took about 45 minutes

once I had acquired a 9mm hex.
Hopefully that will also take care of the vibration in the front end at anything over 65 mph...

Then put some fuel in The Proper Car ready for an overdue run out in it.

That was the problem I had when I did my R Class's brakes. I seem to remember then needing an 11mm too for something else brakes related.  :-\

Before Trumpy showed an interest, did Denmark ever give a shit about Greenland?  ???  :-X
What difference does that make?  ;D
I don't really give a shit about a few of my things, but I wouldn't like anyone to just take them.

Well....   I wonder what the average Greenlander on their icy streets thinks?  ???

If Trumpy offered them $$$$ for investment, upgrading infrastructure etc they might be tempted to become the 51st state.....
The Innuit kids want McDonald's and when asked alot of them said they would take 100k to become part of America :-X

Others are adamant that Greenland isn't for sale and even went as far as saying they should be independent of everyone including Denmark :-X

Next thing you know, Trump will be sending 'little green men' in there, who will claim they are being victimised because they speak American (English)  ;D

Afraid not. He is surrounded by sycophants who believe every word.

I sit transfixed whenever his blonde press secretary comes on tv. I wonder how she manages to sleep. The pay probably helps. What is rather worrying is there is a phalanx of Trump2.0 waiting in the wings. Jared Kushner for next president?

Me too!  :-*

He's an odious creature .
I haven't seen or witnessed a single project or decision made by himself or his department yet that makes any sense .
A man driven by doctrine rather than common sense .
Is there no one in that awful government that can pull him aside ,give him a slap and tell him to read the room.
If I ever encounter him on my flights, I'll be sure to shit in his coffee. If that helps...
