got to renault to collect my parts, i only get the core plug and bleed screws as the clips are on back order, Arse.
So come down here, clean and fit the pressure sender Chet sent me, straighten out the bent gasket he also sent me 
I also discovered my manifold stud stash, so I have newish studs to use to hold the exh manifold to the head on the blue car.
I will fit them after I finish cleaning up the engine, put gaffa tape over the exposed exh ports to keep stuff out of them especially when i blast the engine clean.
I then try and crack off the rear nearside caliper bleed nipple on the blue hatch, despite the blowtorch I managed to shear the nipple.
Arsebuggerybumbags!
So I now need 2 calipers for the back of the blue hatch.
Today isn't going well.
Where the feck is my seat subframe?
Where the feck are my injectors, header tank and oil cooler? |

Going to Renault to pick up my third "Fish tail" screw for the F16.i.e cover (last one fell down in to the engine bay), then going off paint balling. Meant to be 11 of us going and there's already another party booked in, so should be fun
Then probably going out tonight, have a few drinks. My mate's fit next door neighbour is coming (who I was dancing with last week  ) so that's summat to look forward to |

the other week, it was 2 days ago roger, he told me abotu your eating. Did he tell you he ate a burger king shortly before you arrived? lol
yep he headed up here at 7am, arrived before 10.
I got my crap out of his car and then we went to the mot which I arranged.
Car passed cos I touched it and my healing power sorted its ailments.
We each got 2 large ikea hot dogs for brekkie after that around 11:45 am.
Then went to my sisters and I kicked a brick wall down (pics later).
Then off with his tow bar, he got the stuff from me and we went up the town for a chinky buffet then he had to go. |
