12 months on - Oil, filter and air filter all changed
Just checked, only 3,800 miles since the last change

Checked roof drains while I was at it as well. All clear :)

Replaced the oil filter housing gasket and idler pulley. Hopefully now I won't have any oil leaks or a squealing noise.

:lol: Nah, but when I buy a car I always like to give it a thorough clean and try and make it look and smell like new, and because it's so tight down the side of the seats I thought for the sake of a few bolts I may as well just whip them out, glad I did as it wasn't nice under there :? :)

My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

Fun day today. First light drive up to the Surf on the North coast. Beautiful sunrise. 8) Headed back home for 10:30. 100 miles, of open top joy, under the wheels :driving: and several excellent waves caught to boot. :thumbsup:

Spot of Breakfast in the garden. Then hoovered and washed the Zed, hoovered and washed the Mazda and finally, hoovered and washed the Clio. Best of all rewarded for my efforts, with a delicious roast dinner courtesy of Mrs G. :D

I love Ray's wheels - doesn't need a hardtop IMO. Going in for Insp 2 myself in a couple of weeks (separate thread probs) and prolly do some preventative stuff at the same time. All I achieved today was 100 mile-ish trip to Helmsley for lunch with my folks and a couple of lads, sorry!

Drove back from Wales, well just into Wales, Chepstow. We went past 6 Z's on the trip down yesterday, following the A40 and not a single one returned my wave.
Went to Tintern abbey this morning, although it was a bit foggy, the sun shone on the abbey.

Hello 5, yes we went over a bridge on the way home, couldn't see a bloody thing though, thick fog until we reach sunny England.
We did see 6 Z's yesterday, but no return waves, couldn't have been anyone off here :poke:
