I have just spent the morning giving B B a good wash and polish before the hosepipe ban starts.

Came in for lunch and guess what, the ban has been cancelled 🤔🤔

Replaced the non return valve for the rear washer - now got an instant dribble at the push of a button

Started off washing and drying my fatty ,then clay barred the bottom halves of the doors,then used the maguires 1.2.3 .polishing system.. 1 bottle paint cleaner, 1 bottle polish, 1 bottle carnuaba wax. Took me all day, never again it was like polishing 3 fullfats. Next time I'll just go for autoglym polish.
It does look better though.  2009 Vogue SE Zermatt silver

Thats a nice AM xjsracer.

Fitted a new low coolant switch in the coolant expansiontank7

His 405 in front of my 322. Same colours but like the cars, my brother is much younger than me!

I set out with the intention of changing the front pads, but was surprised by how much life their was left in them, so finished up just tapping out all the pins and centre bolt so that I could clean them up .
I smeared a bit of copper grease on them, worked them in and out a couple of times then wiped all the excess off.
They should come out easier next time. .

Oil and filter changed with the old sucker machine. So simple. 10 mins start to finish  405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

Just got back yesterday after a 3-1/2 week holiday in the Alba, Piedmont region of Italy, towing the tin tent.
A mixture of towing and traveling around clocking up 3,800 miles.

I was driving back from work, through Dudley, when a lorry started flashing and waving at me...

I don't usually pull over in bus stops to chat to lorry drivers, but I did, in case something was wrong.

He asked me to sell him my FF!

Said it was exactly the model and colour he wanted and what did I want for it. As I've only had it a week, I decided not to sell. Let's hope I don't regret that decision!

At some point in the future I guarantee you will
(As I'm sure you probably know )

Cheers Stu!

I drove mine back from the local indy with a rather large headlamp shaped hole in my bank account.

It failed the MOT on headlamp alignment (as I thought it might) and it turned out the previous owner had employed bits of metal bolted through the plastic to hold it in place following some sort of impact.

Given that the rest of the front end and wing was as it left the factory, we can only surmise that something (a pheasant maybe) had hit the light with enough force to break the brackets and the internal assembly but not the glass. I was relived to hear that it hadn't been in anything more damaging.

How it passed last years MOT is beyond me, not that I was the owner at the time, but perhaps the repair held long enough to get through the test.....
