    Yay, got into an accident today! Gonna have a fun holiday trying to deal with insurance companies...

    Nobody hurt thankfully.

    it is one of my big worries these last few days with all the bad drivers coming out of the woodwork, hope it is not too bad.

    Yeah, I saw quite a few other close calls today. It's in one piece and I drove it home, but that was an experience. I won't be driving it until it's sorted.

    How do you change bearings yourself? Have you got a press?

    Happy Christmas everyone!

    Rear bearings on the cmax are hub assemblies, no pressing required.
    And since I changed the bolts holding it, I am cautiously optimistic the heads won't strip and i won't have to spend hours swearing and bashing it.

    Feels like Christmas already in my house. Home from work since 6 and already there's been three rows.
    Last one was the annual would you not be a good son and go to mass for me. Just once a year is all I ask for.

    Back in work on monday and can't wait


    On a car related note, I hope the fat man in the red suit brings you something car related.
    Sadly the ****er won't for me, last year he gave me a voucher for an opticians

    There's a bit of a white coating on the ground here. Could be my early present as I have a 5 am start in the morning and might be the first chance to try out the 4 motion in the vw! Here's hoping anyway.

    Happy Christmas dudes

    Ah that's right. I skipped the bit where you said rear :pac:

    I wanted to strip my 1.8 TDCI starter solenoid but the torx bolt heads stripped :mad: Complete pain :(

    I wanted to clean the starter as the bendix gear was sticking but I cleaned it well enough without taking it apart :P

    Anyone going out for a nice quiet drive tomorrow? I'm thinking about it. It's nice to get out for an hour or two and have the road largely to oneself.
