How did you get your pictures to rotate. Tried the gallery and it's not doing nothing

Bean, I’ve tried loads of times to get my pictures straight, but they just upload the way they want to and I can’t get them the right way up..it’s beyond me I’m afraid.

But if I add it again, it seems to be the right way round

Oh...that didn’t work either.

I, wondering whether to leave the mirrors as they are - unmarked, or whether to stick on the Santorini covers that I bought.

Anyone have a preference?

Just a few mins of me helping out someone who had got stuck on friday

good move putting the winter tyres on

tried to fit new alternator but found bracket broken
so swore at it a lot

Broke down, strange electrical fault, now with local indie  Remember:- amateurs built the ark
Proffesionals built the titanic

Finally got round to changing a non working bulb in the Speedo cluster on my TD6, took dash apart only to find the bulb had dropped out and sat behind the cluster.

Picked up the car trailer yesterday and bought that home as needed too change the draw bar on it as someone damaged the original one. All I can say is its easy enough too do but would help massively if I had a two post ramp but wood and a trolley jack it had too be for me.... Still the range done the job no dramas but my god I forget how gutless a 4.4 m62 is for towing unless your in manual

Changed the engine oil, filter and air filter in 2 x 3.6 TDV8's . Did mine and my daughters partners car all in one go yesterday. simple enough to do but what a pain the rear sump bolt is ! Would like to know if anyone has ever manged to get a socket on that bolt, I had to resort to using a ring spanner and a screwdriver for leverage !

It will be the gearbox oil change next when the weather improves.

Bought car with short MOT. Phew.

The good news: passed its MOT with no advisories
The bad news: Going to SORN it for a couple of months or so and put it round the side of the house as I now also have a transit van and there are too many cars on the drive. Once this pig of a pandemic has settled down (it must do at some point) I'll invite my daughter and her boyfriend to get their own place and so get rid of their cars!

Less than 2000 miles since last MOT! Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984
