What did you and your MK2 do today?

[ZiggyEP3]

Drove 10 miles on the pizza cutter space saver as something nicked the inside sidewall of one of my front pilot sport 4s tires while still having 5mm tread left

Was going along a short stretch of road about to be resurfaced doing under 30 and no signs for raised ironworks

Lost the locking wheel nut in the dark after putting the pizza wheel on as well

I lost my locking wheel nut for my focus the other week , went to ford for a replacement and they quoted 215 to remove and supply new nuts surely yours are aftermarket and you can smash a socket over them to get them off

bagged fr , k1 rep , 19s

I don't think I can as it's not a pothole as such but raised ironworks as the surface was stripped.

Hole is the size of a couple of pencil leads at most but sidewall meaning the tyre is toast

It's the round seat ones so can't do that and don't want to risk damaging the OEM 19" wheels still on

Same thing......just claim....they contracted the work....I lost a gear due to a missing "ramp" road sign....you have nothing to lose

Hoping the locking nut is still in the layby as it's not small and just off the road .Murphy's law states they will have put the new road surface down tonight and couldn't take pics in the dark of the road. Took a wheel pic when I took it off

 

[ZiggyEP3]

Not a big hole but went down fast

Still bedding the helix clutch in. AKS recommend doing 5-600 miles of gear changes. I'm finding it difficult to do without giving it boost.

Today I'll be looking at swapping over to AKS gear link bushes.

Also booked her in to have the cam chain tensioner done.

Some shiny new centre caps for the wheels as the old S logo Seat ones had badly blistered and had to order a new dipstick as the old one was crumbling in my hand each time i did an oil check.

I've worked out from my trip to Blackburn that my fit bit measures all bumps on my 4 hour journey lol considering I did feck all walking today I managed to go over 9,875 bumps big enough for my watch to think it was a step lol

Hard suspension of rubbish watch haha

With me staring at him thinking "How are you getting 40mpg out of this?".

 

[Jimbobcook]

Haha Thanks @ZiggyEP3 that's what my journey felt like on the A1 lol I love that film, I could probably quote 90% of it lol

@Legojon I only got 37mpg this time... Got 420 miles out of the tank though.

@Maypack I'll take that as a compliment

This week, several rude words have been aimed at the car.

Firstly, on a couple of occasions it has not wanted to start, just keeps trying to turn over but not firing. Will go on the second attempt.

Rear o/s door has stopped working again. Has been fine for about 3 weeks since the “drill a hole and wd40 it” job and then a couple of days ago, it just stopped. Reluctant to take the door card off again as I broke 3 clips last time.

And today, I had a bulb out warning light come on. Middle of the day with no lights on. Got back to work, checked all lights and then it just went out all of a sudden . Came back on again this evening and I believe it’s a rear inner sidelight.

That’s my weekend sorted!
