£900 an hour labour rate - did they put the decimal point in the wrong place?Fixed rear parking sensors. Something that was quoted £700 at a garage cost me 25 quid for sensors and 45 minutes of my time... Stupid world
Fixed the injector on the scrapper where I had snapped the leak-off pipe nozzle. Tapped the hole and a bit of Loctite and a bolt later it won't be leaking any more. It is OK as I put it at #6. Not tested but hopefully it starts and moves now.

Doubt that, but I am not going there and do not recommend to anybody...
Insurance renewal time of year again. Hastings sent renewal quote through, £280 fully comp, protected no claims, £3500 valuation on P38, courtesy car and all usual stuff. I'm happy enough with that. It's same price as quoted last year.

Pleased to say the rangey passed her mot. 4 advisorys, slight oil leak, slight play in the balljoint coming off the drop arm(all new last mot, less than 6k miles) and both front tyres wearing close to the limit on the inside edges, all 4 tyres brand new avons and tracked 12months ago, and, again, 6k miles old
.Could this be a sign of the VC shagged? It passed the VC test during the rebuild though?
Possible the long established landy indy messed up the tracking I suppose.

VC is a quick check to eliminate. Some tyre places will check tracking for free and only charge for any work that has to be done

Inside edges worn sounds like tracking to me, worth checking the VCU though.Same as I pay, key and windscreen cover plus drive any other car too.

Otto has been back on the road almost 11 months now, going in next week for a service and MOT. Fingers crossed. Approximately 2000 miles in that time. Expecting him to need stuff as the new tester at our place is a stickler.The 38 has been on the road 12 months already since the rebuild.
2nd mot tomorrow
Time flies dunt it...

As always, not me, the mechanic did it. The Golden Girl has had new rear dust shields, discs, brake shoes, brake cables. However, that was not enough. She has now demanded new pcv valve, a brake carrier, and an MoT. Ahhhhhh well what the girl wants, she gets
