Replaced the lazy lock motors to the rear doors of "buttercup". Had ordered some cheapo ones off amazon and turned up after 4 days nearly a week early £10 including delivery so thought it worth the punt. Just a little fettling to the bracket needed and they work. :D:D:D Leaving the door cards off for a few days just in case. ;)

Also finished and fitted door decor ? panels. I only had the fabric inserts on one rear door so thought it worth making up a set. Quite easy really, cut some 3mm hardboard to shape, drilled a selection of holes to suit the "fir-tree" clips I bought for the job, used some lightweight padding material and covered with a velour type cloth, sort of spot welding to backing board with hot melt glue gun. Actually turned out really well for the sake of 15 euros and a day's playing at being an upholsterer. :):)
 
Sweet nothing fip turned up.
My mother has just got a l320 2008 rr sport with 36k on it 3.6 tdv8. So had a wee shot of that for a couple of hours and wow I quite like it. Could never afford it or want to pay to repair it. Really nice motor to drive.

Think im come to the decision that once the fip pump is done and she's motd shes going up on ebay.
Id like 1000ono with a years mot.

:D:D well done that man.
Currently being serious about plucking up the energy to dinitrol under Buttercup. Left it so long I'm going to need to pressure wash it again, then I'll have to wait a week for all the cavities to dry out before I get down and dirty.
Or I could just service the lawn tractor and cut the weeds instead.
 
Well shes sold gone even gave it a wash before it went.
Got knocked down 20quid for them to put diesel in it.
Not even 24 hours advertised. Had 4 people planning to come at once. Just said to all of them im home at 7 first come first served basis.
Had people pull in two cars behind me after work took it a 8mile run paid and on their way.

The CV boot isn't a bad job and fairly cheap but don't use the Sh!tpart band that comes with it. Just go to Allparts and get a generic one off them, it'll be heaps better.
