Spent a lot of yesterday putting new front top suspension mounts and a new steering rack on granddaughters partners  MkIV Golf while he was out at work. Hopefully it will go through today's M.o.T when he takes it in.

Decided I really should pull my finger out and fill it with electricity.  It took around 8hrs at 4A, so was probably a third flat.

Made the oil light on the Bini illuminate whilst negotiating a roundabout... Took a litre and a half to register :-X mid you the car does think it's 16,500 miles overdue, and I have done nothing to it yet to make me doubt it  :-[

Now I have had it about six months I should probably service it so duly ordered... £35 for all Bosch filters and another £29 for Mercedes' finest 5W30.

 Finally got a socket that fitted on the oil pressure sender of the Monaro. Bastid thing to change
Had to be quite a thin walled one to fit in past all sorts of pipes and bolts
Now regerstering pressure so ready for some V8 sound track around the roads at the weekend

Nice one Baza. No doubt both your granddaughter and her partner will be so grateful they'll take you out for a meal or something.



Or maybe not  ;D ;D ;D

I'll accept not if it means I don't have to go in either his or the granddaughters Golfs! Uncomfortable cramped noisy things that they are.
