Not too bad, nice job

Not too bad.

I’m pleased. We are keeping the car so worth doing.

I've ordered & waiting for delivery of an impact wrench
Given that it'll probably just be used for the removal of wheels, I can't justify a Dewalt/Milwaukee/etc.... to myself
Thus, it's a cheapie (£60) from Amazon
See how it lasts/hold up

It’s just arrived, via Royal Mail

I’ll try it later, it’s come with several impact sockets too
Heck, there’s even a pair of gloves with it!
I’m not too certain about the bendy thing & the lube though

Well, after charging the impact-wrench showed above fully, I tried it out, but only on the wheels of my trailer
I've not had them off, & looking at the rust on the bolts, I'd be surprised if the chap I bought it off, had taken them off either!!

Pretty sure my son brought that. We had it out a couple weeks ago trying it, it doesn't sound particularly refined but did the job nevertheless...

Thursday 13th

Nothing much, just a check of fluids/tyre-pressures on both cars
Oh!, & I fitted a pair of rear footwell vent covers in my Kodiaq

Had some free time and the sun was out.

Oil (£10) and filter (£4) change on wife’s Jazz = £14.

Same on my Corolla =£14.

Topped up fluids = negligible as already had them.

Labour = mine.

2 cars serviced properly for £28.

Chains (Halfords/Kwik fit) = £165 x 2. Questionable quality work.

Smug? Me? 😁

Where do you get oil for £10.00?

Where do you get oil for £10.00?

I tend to buy 20l tubs - eBay or Amazon when on offer.

The last one was £40. Just bought some
More for £30.

I’m fortunate that all 3 of the family fleet run on 5w30.

20l of Mannol Synthetic is usually less than £50 on ebay.

Or Man Oil as Mrs D calls it. And she'd be right!
