New top bush on the steering column, new starter motor and solenoid, adjusted rear brakes/handbrake, fitted new Cobra Monaco seats and Newton Commercial carpets and just paid my tax. Back on the road and ready to enjoy some priceless mini moments.

    Are you asking if we are in work or if we know of a job going?

Just been asked to do a speech in an hours time. It's as subject leader for a member of my department who is leaving today. Seriously papping myself. What do I do?

    Didn't have to do it in the end. Only known the girl a few weeks, so one of the senior leaders did it. Phew! *wipes sweat from brow*

    Read that as 'seriously fapping myself'. I was like "Huh! Well... okay then!"!

Flipping oil filter wrench has snapped. Oil pi**ing everywhere and had to resort to plunging a screwdriver into it. Don't you hate it when a 5 minute job turns into a 1 hour nightmare!

    For the record, I've found getting a rag and a pair of mole grips and twisting it as tightly as possible, also works for extra leverage to get oil filters off without the mess :)

    they shouldn't be that tight.. most should undo by hand and mole grips get the ones that are over tightened

    It was mainly due to the fact the engine isn't an A-series. On my Vauxhall engine it's positioned horizontally which makes it really awkward.
