An aging Barbie doll Ken?
Do we all need to go and check our balls then
Always a good idea. About every 5 minutes is usual.
Is it sealed? Could it take a little sulphuric acid?

Finally got a bit of engine bay cleaning done - a lot of dusty stuff brushed free and the aircon pipes fairly easily turning from black to silver.
Also thanks to @kermit_rr 's help and advice I finally managed to get the rather worn drivebelt off. Just hope I don't mangle the new one getting it on later.
Still waiting on refurbed heads, still got manifold to clean.

Grrrs trick i use wet bog roll on a stick poke it around in there look for smog. Diesels generally smokier and access is lot worserer for you.
Pull the fuel pump relay and bridge the starter relay (couple of bits of wire with spades and a switch is the posh way).
But with the noise I dont think it will help

My god those gubbing screws are a nightmare. Were all different sizes had to use 2 sacrificial sockets get them out in one piece
would have been so nice to just chop it off but in one piece gives @Bix more options. If you still need front calliper it’s here ready for you just need to find a box?
Axle seal that side looking bit leaky

You should of asked him to pay for the extra fuel. LOL. Them L405 owners are loaded. LOL.Bought some jenolite to treat some surface rust on my chassis.
And filled it up today, got a compliment from a gent in an L405 as he was filling at the adjacent pump..
Got chatting with him, distracted only intended to put £40 in it, ended up having the pump click off at £110
Oh well, guess I'll be dailying the P38 for this week!

Today I learned how to get the most out of your parking ticket.
You open the cap to top up the brake fluid then gasp as the pedal drops to the floor found old bottle in a bush some chopped EAS line (is perfect) and cracked the callipers in parking lot. The looks people give you!! Brakes are fine after 1/2 litre! run through but clutch is now heavier as it should be possibly may need new neck
Even with a lift pump now she is starting to get a bit hotstarty? Something makes me feel it’s the CPS sensor. I’ve lived through hotstarts, no lift pump, QS and chain stretch yet this seems slightly different.
Choices currently are Lucas, Lemark or Kerr Nelson, any views on these?

Not totally screwed should be able plug that
In fairness the P38 BP flexis seem pretty good. Think the ones I took off are same not original probably 3rd set new now at 26 years. Not tight like when I lifted it so new shocks/tyres on horizon

I've replaced half the sensors on the Alfa with Lemark. They've been fine.Today I learned how to get the most out of your parking ticket.

It is more spite. I don't want to pay for their laziness. 2nd time I've had FOD imbedded in my tyres in as many months. First time I turned a blind eye because I was already getting new tyres. The site rep (mod housing upgrades) is coming into work tomorrow just to see how he can satisfy me.
No doubt they'll refuse to pay for repairs, but if they just sweep up after themselves that'd be nice.
