Toyota iQ 1 litre, 12 plate, full engine service (3 plugs £15 each and throttle body off to get at them ) new discs and pads front and back, coolant change, two auxiliary belts which were dreadful so feeling quite chuffed for myself now.
Careful, everyone......jack it up without care and the screen cracks

Fiesta 1.6D. Small service and a rear spring for a mate. Popped round another mates for a cuppa on my way home and he locked himself out of his house when he was seeing me off. He said he couldn’t climb in his flip flops so I got the job of going through his neighbours house and climbing the garden wall to get into his house from the back.

Been working at a new fishing club house build

3 trout ponds just out side

Seems that the trout don'tike the warm weather loads of em congregating around were the water flows into the ponds
As the water temp increases the trout tend to shut down??

Probably after some oxygen from the moving water.

Morning. Not that I've been to bed yet.
I have a question:
What grout colour is white, but not white please? The nearest to white.
Indistinguishable, unless you apply white grout next to it, which makes the actual-white grout look grey and the not-white grout look vaguely cream ish.
It has to be something that would have been available in a small town five years ago.

Just come back from the allotment - been picking the veg for the week plus our Sunday roast. I’ll be using my own carrots, spuds and cabbage plus I’ll be using my own cauliflower to make cauliflower cheese. Those, along with my home made horseradish Yorkshire puddings, will compliment my medium rare topside of roast beef.

Sounds like the Allegro. Wasn't there a rumour (not sure if true) that if you jacked the car up in the wrong place, the rear window could pop out?

Or was it traditional BL bashing that was all the rage at the time?

I thought if you jack any car up in the wrong place, you could seriously eff up the shell, so it sounds about right.

I don't (can't) drive any more, but I used to put in the miles when I worked overseas. Was really surprised to find out a while ago that new cars don't come with spare tyres nowadays. Who decided that?

 

[securespark]

I'm a bit old-fashioned like that too. My Skoda bought new in 02 had a full size alloy like the ones on each corner.
Our Honda, new in 09 had a space-saver.
Since then, you get a can of gunk or nowt.
There's nothing like a spare wheel.

This is very cryptic. Can you explain?

if that was true, cars whould be deformed and damaged if one wheel was on a bump in the road while another was in a dip.

putting a jack under, say, a wheel arch or a sill, or a bumper, just a thin piece of bent metal, will obviously damage that point.
