Something told me to check the paint code on my cars tonight, Tanzanite blue 359U. Where did I get Brienz blue from? Doh!

Nice media wall, waiting for ours, I wanted plain plaster finish like yours as it blends but wife wants illuminated glass shelves and a bit fancy, we can't agree currently. Did you use a local chippy to build it?

This morning my Vito required a passenger side front screen wiper arm.
During a 160 mile trip back from Newcastle, it started to rain, no problem just switch on the wipers....after a few sweeps of the wipers, the passenger side decided to stop on the vertical position, leaving the drivers side to continue. Checked in at the next service station to see if I could effect a repair. Unfortunately the wiper's zinc bracket's fine splines had given up the ghost and were nicely smooth and polished.
So continued the journey with just the drives side wiper, luckily this was still functioning and albeit the only one it did manage to clear nearly 70% of the screen for the rest of the journey.
So on to eBay and found a pair of wiper arms for £23 + postage @ £6, its a pity I didn't order them before I left Newcastle as the seller was in Gateshead. Just my luck.

Long drive to Croydon to buy the daughters Peugeot 308, £4.5k for a rust bucket, bonnet needs changing, while car needs a mop and headlights polishing, all because she is looking for a small auto. On the plus side only 34k miles and it's good inside.

I forgot how much I hate driving in London and managed to curb a rear wheel squeezing past a ****** van that did not give way.....

Had to laugh, SWMBO was looking out the window and said "I am seriously thinking of moving to Bali permanently" this Country has become a "sh.t h.le." I reminded her it is only Croydon and she would miss the kids!

Spent most of this week with the radio turned down listening to the noises from my S211, a trip to Reading and back today has confirmed a new noise from the rear axle/driveshafts that sounds bearing related and more notceable on the overrun slowing down. :( Looks like this car will be my spares car sooner than hoped.

Hope it is not as serious as you fear :-(

Been away all weekend in Madchester for the BBC Radio 6 Music Festival - now down in Oxford ready for the werky thing the morrow.
Not a pleasant drive at all - came down the A1 to Leicester as the M1 wasn’t great. Lots of traffic, lots of rain and whilst the conditions weren’t great the SLK was :)
