Car D.I.Y.

[Drago]

Cleaned Mrs D's car. Wanted to go over it with the DA and the Super Resin, but too warm in the sun.

Went over the van, a final check before Tuesdays MOT.

Funny, that, bit cooler here, so AG Super Resin on the van, including going on the step ladder for the roof. Then Quick Ceramic sprayed the lot, and a final microfibre polish. Doesn't half make washing a car clean easy with a nicely polished surface.

I replaced a bulb in the interior light, removed the cobwebs from around the engine, inspected the fan belt, checked fluid levels and oiled the bonnet hinges which had got a bit stiff through lack of use.

Looking after a twenty year old Yaris is so stressful.

Looking at my diary andnthe weather forecast, I've decided ill service my van tomorrow and give it it's annual anti-corrsion oil undersides spray.

Ill be using Buzzweld ACE on the undersides - I bought some for the C70 and was very impressed, and have loads left.

I've ordered a thing to connect the wires that the auto electrician cut (with my approval) But get this. The thing acts as a switch so I can switch it on and off as I want.

Sorry if a little technical.

Campervan serviced. Undersides sprayed with Buzzweld ACE - some even went on the vans undersides as well!

New rear shocks fitted to the Capri. I have wheel bearings to do also, but they are for after the MOT, which was supposed to be yesterday, however the builder placing a skip in front of the driveway gates has put paid to that idea.

I went to change a tail lamp bulb in my ancient Yaris yesterday. Should have taken a few minutes.

However, when I went to unscrew the nuts that hold the lamp unit on, the studs decided to round in their plastic holders

I got it off anyway, a used expoxy resin to put the studs back in, and it all seemed perfectly solid this morning. I greased the studs this time. It will come apart easier next time. If the previous owner had done that, I'm sure the problem wouldn't have occurred.

My Dad always greased things when putting them together.
