Fitted the last LED into my interior light:

Also loaded her up and went down the tip, also loaded an old metal bed frame onto the roof bars. Picture taken after i came back:

Nowt, It's parked up

I've also turned the hands free mic around in the interior light so it points towards the back of the car but to do this i had to have the wire running over the top of the metal contacts of the interior light. Can anyone tell me if this will cause me any problems at some point??

Fitted some VW Up mudflaps to it, well it was last week actually.

Drove the Furby spiritedly and overtook an M3 on an A road.

OK the Beemer driver wasn't trying, but I'm happy!

Would the picture have looked something like this?

Had slight boost leak, so took off undertray and tightened up clamp on silicone hose to turbo after having bumper off yesterday and tightening up all other clamps. Touch wood, its fixed it. Then drove to Weston-S-M and back in the horrible rain to drop my son back home this evening.

Would the picture have looked something like this?

Yes, remarkably like that

I've not had so much fun since i used to drive an AX 1.4D, which had to be driven with the loud pedal tucked under the carpet mat and momentum had to be maintained at all costs

Loaded up with random things and went to a car boot sale near Durham.

Just had some brand new Avon ZZ3's fitted to the front, all wheel tracking carried out too. No more pulling to the left!

Now to drop it off at the service garage ready for the morning.

An expensive couple of days!!

Puncture repair on the Octybus. I've not had punctures for years and now I think I'm on my fourth or fifth in 12 months.

Still, it gives me a chance to catch up on Gadget magazine from 2008. I so with they'd get more up to date mags for the regular visitors

Puncture as well today, spotted on quick 'pre-flight check' before setting off home from work tonight. Glad my car has a full-size spare wheel, will drop off the punctured tyre at the garage tomorrow morning, hopefully it can be repaired - nail is near the middle of the tyre.

Good point, I've only started getting punctures since having a car with no spare wheel. Largest item through tread has been a 1/4" t-bar.

Luckily I was only a mile away from my other set of wheels at the time... VRS wheels off,Greenline wheels back on.

Fitted some LED sidelights. Applied plasters to.my knuckles. Stuck on some stickers

Ordered some round foglight holders for my round foglight conversion on the Roomster Scout

Fit another o/s headlamp bulb. Tesco one didn't last long.

Visited Rob @ W8 Performance.

Drove it to work and drove it home again

Had some designer mud sprayed on

From the local lanes. It was free :lol:

Fitted winter wheels. Borrowed a Sealey 'rocket jack' - 3 ton trolley jack monster - made it very easy. The hockey puck did it's job perfectly.

The OE steels look very different being black. I was initially worried the wheel bolt covers might not fit (part number 2K06011699B9), but they fit perfectly and locate on the original bolts from the 18" Themisto alloys. They go on with solid click on all but the locking bolt heads, and feel like they'll stay on fine.

The manual says the bolts should go on at 120Nm (=88.5 foot-pounds), which is what I did, but it didn't seem to be very tight (thoughts anyone?)

Pumped tyres up to 2.7bar front and 2.8bar rear (as per fuel filler cap for the tyre size, plus 0.2bar for winter-ness).

Stuck some metal Skoda stickers over the VW on the bolt covers. (I think it looks a tad naff, but Mrs Goat and the kids prefer the steels with the stickers on and least they say Skoda now not VW). Better than wheel trims? I'm not sure.

All tidied up and summer wheels cleaned and away, in for lunch by 12:30. Job's a good 'un!

I was testing the fit of mine today, so when I put my alloy back on I put them back up to 120nm torque and it seemed tight enough to me, more than I would have tightened them to if I was doing it 'by hand'.

Work in the morning, but gave it a good wash down and cleaned out the driver's footwell in the afternoon. With the farmer's still lifting tatties or ploughing just now our roads are in a helluva state and cars get filthy in no time.

Fitted new foglights ahead of 'that' season, and took the opportunity to modify the units to take h3 hid bulbs...

First time with the bumper off, and it was a lot easier than my old punto! No fitting hands in impossible gaps to undo bolts!

Took the Yeti all the way to Brands Hatch to watch the truck racing, got it muddy too.

Washed it. Again.
