Spent the morning fitting the winter wheels and tyres (17" Nokians) - a photo tomorrow for you.
I love the fact that somewhere in the rubber writing are the letters M&S - dur... Ultragrips these are not! Having given Ted the beans on a greasy road and got slip in 2nd and then a lovely sideways entertainment I thought I'd bring the back tyres down from 42psi to 36psi in the interests of er... being able to make forward progress actually.
Next job this month is 80k service, fitment of quickshift, a professional look at the parasitic drain featurette, fitment of new braided steel flex pipes to go with the new brake fluid.
Planned job for early 2016 is a new black cab hood to replace the faded but still watertight almost khaki affair. And at some stage during the winter I need two new Pilot Sport 285/30 ZR 18". I could keep the existing ones but I don't want to end up on the wear bars in the height of summer!
