Lets say I'm relocating it.





To the back of the shed

For Ms jou's bus. Old vs. new comparison clearly shows it was a real need.

traco

Picked up yesterday, will make it much handier to move when needed. €70 a pair so not to bad.

Pair of to go into the car (exact pictured above) I spent time on Saturday removing the eccentric bolts, to clean up and make sure they weren't seized in situ, to make this upcoming job that little bit easier

Not a bad price for asymmetric 3s.



New wheel going on at the same time to remedy the last tyre changes fcuk up. Decided to go for some black badges too.





A service next week and then to FN for a winter detail and it should be good to go again.

They would be stunned at the price, feeling like they were screwed along with thoughts of empty pockets...

As the Haynes book says, oil is cheaper than bearings:pac:

Can I ask where you got that from?

Ordered the firmware and 2016 maps update for my A6 last week.. hopefully will arrive today/Monday so I can get them installed. The existing maps are VERY out of date.. doesn't even know the M7 exists after Portlaoise!

Oil



I find this stuff very good myself.

New "winter" boots.



I really like these tyres. Great in the wet and icey conditions, even cleared for snow use, yet still remarkably good in the dry.

When I got the car serviced last I asked the local motor factors for some new wiper blades. They were absolute crap, cleared everything on the upswing and smudged on the downswing- to the point that you almost couldn't see out. Just been to the other local motor factors and bought some Bosch blades..... holy hell the difference. They actually work and don't make a noise.

I know this could be most useless post of the year but for me it really highlights how you don't cheapen out on some things. Cheapo wiper blades were sh1te and actually made rainy conditions dangerous.

Tyres, brakes and wiper blades!
