Removed the drivers seat from the camper and extended the seat frame so I can have the seat position an inch further back, what a big difference that small amount of extra adjust made
Fitted new thermostat in the TR7 after I noticed one of the radiator hoses what 2 different temperatures, all good now.

Don’t be disgusting. Cole wouldn’t do that in the living room.

He does it in the kitchen, right next to the already-installed parts washer!

I've been getting my mums 22yo Yaris automatic ready for sale.She's 92 & took some persuading to agree to sell but it's only covered about 400 miles in the last 3 years.
Passed it's MOT yesterday & the ac seems to be ok after its first regas for years.
Just like my mum they don't make 'em like that any more!

The Daewoo/ Chevrolet Aveo UnMerc duty standbymobile I bought so herself could stay mobile in the event one or other big car was in the workshop and I at work, developed grindy brake syndrome today. So, caution thrown to the winds and I’ve splashed out on a full service pack plus front brake pads for the little geezer. £78 the kit from ECP, plus £11 for two new wiper blades from Amazon, plus £7 for a new serpentine belt that I realised was needed as squealy belt syndrome had also just manifested.

Then I thought that I would familiarise myself with where things are, never facing worked on a Daewoo before.
Air filter- one screw had rusted in place. Entire air box had to come out to allow me to get a socket on the (luckily) external hex head captive screw.
Brake pads; I finally tried out the trolley jack and axle stands that have been sat in the garage since 2015. Annnnd… the caliper bolts are solidly frozen, no way I can get them off without the car being on a lift. So, looks like friendly local garage will be getting a call, and he may as well do the serpentine belt at the same time.
