Yesterday I washed and hoovered the golf in prep for MOT today, and it was in a very sorry state. Also washed and hoovered the discovery but no picture.
Both the focus and golf had MOT this morning, both passed without issues, but the golf did decide to pick up a puncture on the way home, and the full size spare in the boot has the wrong stud size
also owned the focus 6 years last week so took it a quick blast MOT celebrate, and still love it

Car turn 140k last week and was only few 100 miles from being due a service so between yesterday evening and tonight I give it a service and dropped the sump to check and clean the oil pipe up gauze which was thankfully near enough as clean as you’ll get. Washed the sump out with thinners so was spotless. Refitted all last night and left the engine sit till today for the instant gasket to cure before filling with oil and starting. Also changed the driveshaft seal that I damaged last time I had it out, new gearbox oil. Replaced the spark plugs and clean the cone filter and also the MAF.
Best way to blow the crap out of the filter, wasn’t that long since it was properly cleaned and oiled so just needed blown out.

Fitted a set of these on the daily runabout / bangernomics bus. Fantastic tyres, really changed the feel of the car.

Well, yeah but the Design For Maintainability team were obvs not invited to contribute. Jay and indeed sus. Took me pretty much all day to get it done, had to run over to Wilsons for a crank handled ratchet spanner as that was the only thing that would fit between the FWD diff mounting bolts and the heatshield. Probably didn't help that I was doing this on my back with it up as far as it could go on axle stands with a still frigged shoulder.

Very quick touchless tidy up. Still dirty but it’ll do for a wet Saturday
