getting my piano tuned.

then possibley sorting the car out, plan to give it a coolent + rad flush, and new thermo. seems to not be holding its temp, just keeps rising. untill fan kicks in.

also gonna get new new spark plugs for it..or just swap the ones from the old clio over, they were nearly new

i say this, but it wont ever get done.

then the rest will be wishing i wasnt skint.

where the threads are normally they have been broken off so I can't bolt the down pipe to the manifold they can be re theaded but to do the job properly I need to take the manifold off.

so the threads are knackered but the studs came out? Or have the studs snapped off inside which is what they normally do.

if they have snapped off then get the welder out and tack a nut on em and they will un-screw

gardening . .

cutting down the forest that is my front garden, laying down loads of sand followed by the paving slabs, front garden is becoming a driveway tomorrow to get the white 19 off the road, its tax is out tomorrow and being declared SORN for a while.

then hopefully on sunday i will be fitting my new spax springs to the front shocks on the blue 19, sorting out the temp sender on the rad as its now lieing to me and telling me the coolant is at max temp all the time (its been doing that since i jetwashed the engine bay lol) and fitting new indicators that i got off ebay for the princely sum of £10.39 for the pair lol.
