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.
Thanks, maybe this year I will work through the other small issues I have:

Starter motor, replacing this weekend
Blend motors
Headlining
Gearbox oil cooler leak from pipe
 
Towed the wife,s horsebox. Jumped in hitched up and off we went. Another mission completed with no fuss no leaks and no nasty noises. life is god at the mo
 
Cleaned out the intercooler on my diesel manual. Surprised how much gunk came out and surprisingly straight forward job to do. Big 300 mile trip tomorrow, see if it makes any difference...
 
Gave the drivers seat a clean

Drilled an 8mm hole through a cork then cut into 4 washers and put between my EAS housing and the wing. EAS back to silent. Seems the old rubber had compressed a bit and gone a little hard.
 
2.5 BMW manual 1997 185k
300 miles on £50 of posh diesel @ 1.32 ltr. / = 7.26 gallon = 6.9 gal total fuel.
300 mls ÷ 6.9 gal = 43 mpg @ steady 70 mph... NO WAY..!!
 
Gave Buttercups underside a good wash ( after I'd repaired the Karcher:mad::mad:), with any luck it'll all dry off in a few days and I can get some dinitrol over her before any rust decides to attack her.
 
Got it back from the MOT with a pass!! That's after the last MOT station failed it about 3 weeks ago on a whole host of faults and £2500 worth of welding required. New MOT lists 4 advisorys with no mention of chassis rot. Last MOT station was either having a bad day or creating work for themselves

Great result,
Now saunter into that first deceitful garage and hand him a poly bag full of turd, say it came from a bull!!!!
