Weather has been great here Jim. Just finished tinkering and having a cuppa now. Oil and filters done. Greased bits that needed greasing. The coolant dribbles have not reappeared.

The spare wheel carrier is looking great. I got that down to grease the bolt ect. Really pleased my work on that in 2012 has worked. Not rust at all.
Even hoovered the boot out. It was looking like a field with the amount of grass in there! :lol:

Excellent Russ :D Been terribly stormy here today but as you can read in my blog, between storms I did get all I planned done :D

All of mine are due oil and filter changes and the V6 Xantia an LHM change. Ran out of time and weather today...

Maybe next weekend...

Good to brighten up their week! :lol:
Glad to hear all is coming together again for you Russ :)

Isn't it a great feeling when you take these cars into garages....they do tend to get a lot of positive attention 8-)

Thanks Vince, :D It was a big bill, but it kind of restores your faith in the car a bit, knowing that that part is sorted out.

Well today my new but used steering coupling disc arrived from The Netherlands. £30 delivered. Not bad I think considering they are difficult to get hold of. Yes you can buy them new, but at £91 here and 104 euro abroad, they are stupidly expensive. Especially as they are no bigger than a large biscuit!! :lol:

So hopefully this will do the trick and tighten up the steering.
