I fitted some interior courtesy lights that come on when the drivers door is open. I used led's from maplin and mounted 2 in each side of the inside upright on the windscreen;

This is a nighttime piccie with no flash;

And this is with the led lights on;

where the leds are mounted;

I also put led's in my dash lights;

And fitted my raptor console;

Did the "Penny trick" - jobs a goodun
Started to dismantle EGR for the EGR removal kit I just bought, only to find it was already de-EGR'd . Mind you there is still 5mm of ****ty tar everywhere, so it looks like the intercooler and inlet manifold will be coming off for a clean sometime.
Tarted up front bumper (derust & Hammerite).
Removed a few more bits from the "Convertable".

Removed my washer bottle to see why it wasn't holding water.
Soon figured it out. 300tdi washer pumps don't sit flush into a 200tdi washer bottle!
Have made a gromett out of tiger seal so tomorrow i'll put it back together and test it.

Did my first long(ish) journey in the Ninety today since fitting the 200tdi. Was surprised at the relatively high temperature it ran at pretty much all the way - was over 90 degrees. I don't have a viscous fan fitted, and was cruising at around 60-65mph. Sound ok?

took a days' leave and driven it to the garage and back to seemingly have them do only half the work i booked it in for, claiming the rest of it was fine, whereas in fact it's apparently completely f*cked and needs replacing

well, the car started playing up today so rolled under the landy after dark and bled the breaks, run her across the field a few times then tightened up the bolts on the new paras, running good now, still wandering back and forth though!
