day off work today. winter prep time!

Post by suzukisteve » Fri Oct 25, 2013 7:57 am

so not that winter has started to appear yet but im gonna be short on time due to house stuff.

first things first, gonna put my ats back on, I know it seems like a weird move but im not gonna get the chance to get off road for a little while, and the mts are a bit slippery in the wet due to my love affair with the loud pedal.

followed by:
the alternator belt that's slipping.
a general grease up.
check over cooling system.
bit of silicone on the pillars (the water has been getting in and getting my seat belts all soggy)
and anything else I can think of!

bring on the spanners!
pickle power!

winter wideness :doublethumbs:

alt belt and wheels done, coolant seems ok but could probably do with a flush and refill.

just a grease up (after strangling the solicitors sorting the house) :thumbup:

Depends on the phone. My iPhone posted photos the right way round but my new Xperia seems to put all photos sideways. Need to mess about with it a bit more.
