My car has a little mouse that lives in the engine :p when I drive at slow speeds it squeaks a lot. Then stops when the speed does up

Haha I'm going to steal that for one of the many noises in mine.
Now to think of one for the knocking, banging and just general horrible sounds.

Strange how we get into a routine, good or bad. Hey ho had lasagne for dinner mmm. Was dinner a "healthy" or cooked dinner?
Dec 05 2014 08:27 PM -
Vinay-RS
I'd judge healthy on the nutrients it gives me. Like anything deep fried is unhealthy :P

Want to put back seats in but It means I have to remove my harness and replace for a seatbelt, the downsides to having 2 seats !

That's good to hear, was a bit worried about things going bad if left sitting. Need to put a piece of card under the sump (small leak) :)

Make sure it's got the right amount of anti-freeze for the predicted weather where it will be.

Temps will probably range from 10 - 35 degrees. If I top up the level before I leave that should be fine right?

The pain when you pick up a panel which looks straight, true, and 'professionally' resprayed by a 'body shop' shortly before car was scrapped.....you rub the paint back to find more rot and filler than the panel you bought it to replace. Cowboys.

can the pins in the door hinges be knocked out as the bolts in the door are seized

The other option is heat then use the impact driver. Its a pain trying to drill the screws out and not damage the captive thread plates.

Watch this episode of project binky. Nik has a good method of removing door hinge screws. Skip to about 16:00.
