Did my first oil n filter change on our recently acquired fatty. Cobbled together some pipework to allow me to use a handpump to suck out the vacuum tube. Also did the drain plug as I had already bought a replacement.

So oil n filter, pollen filter and fuel filter done Air filter to follow cause despite Opie promising it was in stock...

My wife took advantage of Chauffeur mode to sleep on the way back from holiday when we'd dropped my teenage boys off.

Took the Westie in for service, MOT & gearbox oil & filter change to compliment last years Megaflush.
Two rear tyres have plenty of tread left, around 50%, but, one had a cord showing & one had slight uneven wear. Fronts weren't great but I honestly thought they'd do another year, one had a nail in the tyre & one was rounding off the edge which I knew about. Time for four new Pirelli's rather than mess about with one here & one there. Add that to the gearbox oil & filter change (which was only done because I've got OCD & very anal) plus an 'oil service' it wasn't a cheap day.

That was actually done last year on the first service under my ownership, I noted the front two wheels were wearing on the edges & everything was aligned 100%. Tracking all done on the new tyres & nowt to report, that's how I like it 😋 2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!

I discovered mine was tracked as a TDV8 and not an SC so had scrubbed the inside of the tires, its 9° difference between the oil burner and the SC in terms of tracking.

According to Autodata tracking is the same on TDV8 and SC and even if it was different it would not be 9 degrees as you would be forever veering across the road 2010 3.6TDV8 Stornoway Grey/ Black interior - gone

The good news? Collected my beloved from the body shop after getting bodywork repairs done to both wheel arches - fabulous job done, will put a write-up on the place in the appropriate section.
The bad news? Two miles from home got the dreaded ‘Air suspension inactive’ message on the dash; back end looks fully up, front left down, no EAS lights. Have disconnected the battery to leave overnight and will try a lock to lock after I put the battery back on in the morning.

Gave the old girl a long overdue bubble bath and wax treatment. While at it, I took care of some scratches and finally cleaned the interior and treated the leather. Once again the whole thing escalated into a full day task. My back is killing me (yet again) but the result is rewarding.
