Today I have named the colour storm
He is now called squeak , due the the annoying squeak from the off side front brake disc
Squeak , was today treated to his 1st bit of tender care in my ownership , and now has lost his squeak, which was due to a sticking brake Caliper, and built up of rust /crud etc n the rear of the pads
If the squeak had not been fixed , he would have been called , “ smashed too bits you annoying s**tbox “
Also noticed, the under -tray has been refitted by a monkey , job for next weekend ....
Also washed project egg , in the dark ...

Today was spent cleaning and checking over the Akoya tdi ready for its mot tomorrow night. Also fitted a nice set of audi car mats as the Akoya came with after market ones that both looked pants and had worn badly. Amazing how good the standard mats are both looks and wear rate. All bulbs were fine and just a week of one of the washer jets and its done.
Ill update on the results of the test tomorrow.

That is an existing baby steel that the engine hoist runs along, the big structural steels arrive later, maybe put up a picture then.

Today I / Lyra went for a timing belt and water pump change... Not sure how much of a shocker this is to some of you but my mechanic was fairly surprised and I was shocked when I heard it... Lyra had her ORGINIAL belt!!! 04 plate - 150k on the clock! I got given paperwork when I bought the car and it stated it had a belt changed 122,000 my mechanic said its definitely NOT been done. Anyway its done now no more driving in fear, next up LOWS!

Oh boy you have been lucky. If it belt was actually replaced, the previous owner would have kept the original invoice? I guess that's why service history back-up by bills and invoices has a value...
