Today I finished replacing my rear shocks and springs - much better 
That sounds odd. Would it not turn over with the battery or the jump pack?The battery finally gave up when I stopped for diesel on the way to work this morning. It wouldn’t start with a jump pack this evening either. New battery required.

My Clarke jump pack you press a jump start button & off you go. Does 4 jumps before recharge. Good to take on horse events so can start most 12/24 motors or Lorrie’s
I was thinking along those lines.
The battery has been sluggish for a while and it looks like the cold weather has finished it off. But the earths are looking suspect too. I tried a jump pack again today but put the negative onto the engine block and it started straight up. Just need to clean the earths and see if I can add an extra one too.

Drove it a few miles.
Found the faulty number plate light has 2 little bulbs (both blown) off to find who sells these

Had a run up to Craddocks in Cannock before xmas to get rear shocks but none in stock so bought two new wiper blades and a bonnet release cable instead, swapped the wiper blades this morning, nice to be able to see out of the windscreen again!!
put Rain-x on the windscreen as well which makes a massive difference to water clearance and a lot easier to clear when the windscreen is frosty!!

9th of Jan looks sunny!The shiny new battery is still sitting in the house awaiting a break in the wet weather to fit it…
I’m ever the optimist!

Out for a spin in the truck for brekkie, then home to for carplay with my buddy:
2005 Golf Tdi Oil Service/ tensioner serp belt
2005 Merc SL 350 B Service / tentioner serp belt / cabin filters and oil service
2003 Def Td5 oil service
Wood burner on, IPA in glass now to rest my back for the afternoon
Poxy Merc SL is a PIA to do the cabin filters, unless you are the size of Kylie........FFS

Went & got some bulbs for the number plate light.
Couple of cans of beer ready to have a wheel changed.i do have a spare & jack but the mrs has filled the landy with stuff for the tip & blocked it all in. May be able to convince tyre man to put new tyre into old rim as well.
Think that’s it & ready for mot next week.
