    Bit of car shampoo mixed with water - the whole idea behind car shampoo is to be lubricating :)

    I thought you weren't sure if he could actually do it rather than be interested in taking it on :) might be the same with an auto spark, if they can sort 4 or 5 alternators or starters in the same time and have plenty of them to do....

    What is it with those idiot advertising truck drivers ?

    One parked his truck today in the hard shoulder on the M6 between Athlone and Ballinasloe.

    I passed it in the dusk. No lights, no hazards, no nothing. Just left there. On a freakin' motorway !!

    It's getting out of hand, it does !!

    When I got into the car last night my phone charger was plugged out and left on the passenger seat. 99.9% sure I didn't do it and cant remember if I locked the car, have a bad feeling someone was snooping around in it? Maybe im just going mad.. wrecking my head though!

    Liklehood is that it was you mate. Don't worry about it.

    Even if it did happen, they came, they snooped, nothing taken.

    Think of it as a reminder to lock up properly of an evening :)

    Emm anything Honda! :p

    I know the Honda engines better than any other so would be able to give repairs a go myself. Really it will be a project car so I'd prefer to work away myself.

    Haven't decided whether to just get a little 1.5 eg or something like that or stick with my original choice of a Dc2, seen a few lil civics about and 1 possible teg

    My housemate has taken to leaving the door open on his way to work in the mornings this week. Feckin' dope.

    Can't wait for tomorrow when I wake up to find some cat-smelling furry man standing at the end of my bed pervin' on my shoes or something.

    I got a bluetooth ODB2 scanner \o/ Have it working with Torque (any nice dials/displays that are worth having?).

    It has finally told me what that random CEL was that kept appearing any time I drove more than 20km at a time - P2096. That's my evening gone investigating that one!
