Finished the T-box front output bearing and oil seal ... I was expecting a 1/2 day job but it took three times longer due to the old collapsed bearing race pretty much welding itself in place! ... all done now but need to fit a new clutch slave cylinder. Hoping that one does go as smoothly as it should do!

Found out why M & S dash lights flashed a few months back as I did the same thing tonight - accidentally pressing the lock button on the key fob when starting ignition. Well actually I don't technically know why it does this but you know what I mean

Took it the MOT. Failed
Needs a tubular outrigger
Not much at all really
Off to buy a bit of Britparts finest tin ready for fitting tomorrow.

Drove it to Rotherham and back to collect my roof rack. wouldn't go in the Landy and I didn't take a trailer so I had to stick it on the roof...
Came back the pretty way through the peak district, 150 miles all together, 2.5 n/a never missed a beat and did over 30 mpg

Just collected mine from the garage where they fitted a new windscreen and changed the thermostat for a 88 degree one. Feels like I'm driving a new car with the windscreen so clean and free from any marks. Can't see or feel any difference regarding the thermostat change. I thought it might register a bit hotter on the temperature gauge but seems to be running about the same spot and can't feel any difference with regards to the heaters, so that looks like it was a waste of time.

Fitted a new tubular outrigger to the drivers side, piece of cake.
Then I set about replacing a bit of the rear cross member, what a bastid because the thing is multi-skinned, difficult to get at and pretty corroded, it's impossible to get it properly clean before welding. So coughing and spitting and bird **** welds are the order of the day. I hate welding rust
But it's done now, back to the MOT station for a fresh ticket tomorrow morning.

Shiny new MOT, good for another 12 months.
