Well having spent all afternoon yesterday cleaning my landy I went out at lunch time today and I kid you not over the bonnet, up the windscreen and over the roof was absolutely covered in bird sh#t, I've never seen anything like it, it looks like a hole flock had flown over and all at once let go from their rear's just as they flew over my car, so had to wash it again. Lol
 
Had a bit of a fettle,:brushteeth:






and



and



Doesn't look to bad for a 12 year old car:)

Rest of it was underneath, so its black underseal in a dark area. dun't make for good piccies.

Is that in the throttle body or on the pedal?

Bought some paint at a good price which kinda determined the colour - satin black.
 
A quick pre MOT check on advisory Items from last MOT which indicated the following:

001 Nearside front Tyre worn close to legal limit
002 Nearside front lower suspension arm has slight play in ball joint
003 Offside front lower suspension arm has slight play in ball joint

On checking today the above is total and utter bull****e http://www.brh4x.com/brc/images/smilies/bull****.gif

What I found is that the Offside steering track rod end has humongous amounts of play in it...so much so you can feel it through the Nearside of the car..........I thought this rattle was just my drop links or as stated above.....

2 track rod ends on order........I cant find any play in suspension bottom ball joints..........Makes you wonder how these guys get liecenced to do MOTs...
 
I serviced it today, oil, engine breather etc etc.

Spent most of the time wrestling with that f***ing under tray coz some numpty must have done the bolts up to 200Nm or more. ARRGGGHHH!!!!

Still.. job done.. for another 6 months.
