    Well chuffed with myself today.

    Most of you may have seen in my other thread that I had a leak at the front of my car.

    I got another standard IC from Peter Thomson last week ( thank you very much Peter).

    So today I was a busy bee.

    First off I changed the front brake pads then stripped the front of the car to fit the IC. While I was at it I fitted my ATF cooler I'v had since October.

    One of my side light bulbs had gone so while I had the lights out I decided to change side lights, main beam & full beam. I know it was only one bulb that had gone but I thought what the hell I'll do them all. At least I know they have all been done & are all the same age.

    So as title says I'm well chuffed with myself.
    The mighty Leedsnum has gone but the Airtrek mods will soon fill this space

    Some days, the god of Mechanic-ninja skills blesses you with the ability to do several jobs in an afternoon that'd normally take you days.

    Feels good, doesn't it

    Following on this thread I was'nt so chuffed today.

    When I finished all the work yesterday I took the car to be washed & I put on the right indicater & it was flashing on the dash quite quickly. I thought I have'nt plugged the wire back in so pulled over & yes thats what I had done so plugged it in Problem solved.

    So today driving down to Crail it was foggy. I thought I'll put the front fog lights on. Then it crossed my mined that I plugged the drivers side fog light back in but cant remember plugging the passenger one back in so I did'nt bother.

    Got to Crail & paid to get in & the woman at the entrance said. Do you know your passenger light is'nt working? I said no but thanks anyway.

    Scott & I went & paid to go on to the strip & I said to Scott my lights not working could it be cause I have'nt plugged the fog light back in? He said may be.

    I had to jack the car up cause I could'nt get far enough under the car to see what I was doing. Plugged the Fog light back in but still no lights on the PS.

    Popped the bonnet & what do I fined?

    I had'nt plugged in any of the PS lights. How much of a Knob did I feel? After plugging in the indicater & not noticing that I had'nt plugged in the main beam,full beam & side lights.

    You live & learn.
