long the better tbh, keep it below 3500 - 4krpm and it will be fine as kong as its warm. Try and avoid liong motorway journeys unless its loaded to get heat and pressure into the engines.
thats the handbrake cable fitted. I also cleaned up the pads and make sude the caliper was free on its sliders. Thing is the handbrake lever comes up a long way still, looks like I will have to do the othwer cable as well. The cable is frayed at the caliper end so I really should.
I wish I had a lift! |

Oh well, it seems I may aswel wait around for fucking Christmas.
PAS pump STILL hadn't arrived at the garage, so chase up the people sending it out and they say, yeah it's ready but they forgot to send it on last nights van.
So did they put it on todays van?
NO? What a bunch of un-capable reatrds.
So now it won't be monday till I get my car back.
What a complete load of fucking shit.
I'm so pissed of right now  |

Today, I've thrown out about £10K worth of building/electrical/data/plumbing/refrigerant/air conditioning/ventilation supplies from our Melton workshop.
Got myself a spare PC, monitor out of the clear out for my mum, two bottles of wine for me' Dad and for myself a dirty calendar which was hanging up in the bogs! (There's a fit bird in it, I couldn't just throw it away!)
Earlier I raced my best mate in the Clio (he has a Mk4 Golf V5) to be fair there weren't much in it, we were neck and neck up to about 125/130mph but we didn't get the chance to take it further cos I had to come off the road to go home like!
Right now, I'm drunk as owt having polished off a 4-pack of Carlsberg Export and a pint in the local. Pissed as owt now! Tomorrow I pick up the V6 engine, gearbox, ECU and loom from the salvage yard, and on Sunday I'm accompanying a mate down to Somerset (he's won a fish tank on eBay and wants me to go to give him some advice on it)
Going down in his Vectra 2.2 DT which he reckons goes like stink and will hammer my Clio! I'm getting insured on it for the day so we can share the driving so it'll be quite interesting getting behind the wheel and seeing how it feels in comparison.
To be fair the only motors than give my Clio any sort of challenge are TD's! Petrol motors really don't give me any sort of contest, although I was easily outpaced by an early 90's Nissan 200SX 1.8 Turbo 16v the other day, man that thing shifted! |

so far today I have got the final tyre off my ph1 alloys, now all 12 are now tyreless.
I also got the new toyos fitted to the wheels on the front of my sisters laguna, passenger side was near bald, drivers side not very worn, thats what happens when she throws it round roundabouts.
i bought another wheel for it at the scrappy, so the good drivers side one is now in the boot as a spare (cars never had a spare) and the 2 new tyres are on it.
gonna collect the exec leather tonight.
between now and then I have to wrap up stuff for shipping out tomorrow and finish some work on a few bits and bobs. |
