Speaking of brakes, I replaced the OSR caliper on the A8 today. Quality brands are about £300, so hopefully this one at £94 will last at least a wee while. Old one was pissing out fluid from the back of the piston: 20240420_161401.jpg Horrible, fiddly job with several extra software steps. Thankfull...

I got around to cleaning and then selling my late dad's car. 20240417_111434.jpg I got £9900 for it via Arnold Clark, no hassle at all and should be in my mums bank account by Friday. Its just a car to us but when my mum saw the red colour of it through the frosted glass it reminded her of my dad be...

There was a green rubber bumper Midget that came into Campbells of Armadale today. It looked long dead but fairly intact.

Certainly don't do it with any medical symptoms you may have - everything points to imminent death.

Aye that's one thing I have never done!

Cars though, different issue

I'm just nae sure about Mannol. I've been using it in all my cars for a few years now, I know its made in Lithuania by a German company but it has to be cheap for a reason surely? I filled the A8 with it when I changed the oil a few days ago, but I'm dropping it out again over the weekend in favour...

That's shite about that Golf. I hope karma catches up with those cunts. I did an oil change on the A8 today. 20240328_121721.jpg Thank fuck I have discovered Mannol oil as it takes about 8.5 litres and would otherwise have been very expensive! The last oil change was done 2 owners ago in August usin...

Sold the TT tonight ended up getting £1950 for it which was just £50 less than the original asking price, very pleased with that. It's still in the layby outside my house until Saturday but the new owner has the keys and ownership is already transferred so its now nothing to do with me 😬 He couldn't...

I collected my A8 from Newcastle yesterday.

For £1900 I expected it to be hanging but it's now the nicest condition car I own and my others are already half-decent.

I'm delighted with it. The 150-odd mile journey back felt like just 10 and I got 44.8mpg.

I owned it a couple of years ago. Lovely motor. 3 of my cars have been owned by the same shiter(s) at one point and are all bikes: A8 was owned by Paul, Robson and NorthernMonkey (as well as JonK, 83C, Kilton and Schaefft) Saab was owned by Northernmonkey (Also sri05 and Wack) Red A4 Cab was owned ...
