Sunday has been a good day for me, (little help from m8 mind you, well a big help ). Lights fixed on old Rexy, Scott oiler fixed, and m8's jack fixed. Stupid son in law unscrew the valve right out to let it down, lost the oil plunger and ballbearing. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\fixed now though, m8 found the ball bearing with the use of a magnetic tray . Got the car back today after a week in the scrappies, new ignition lock fitted with the chip from the old key fitted to it. Alloy found in the yard of a scrapped Meganne, though I had trouble with the locking wheel bolt. No adaptor. M8 got it off with 2 hammers and a cold chisel only to find it was buckled. So had to remove another one. Oh and got the button for the tailgate while we were at it as well. M8 fitted that So job done and £105 pounds poorer But happy now

We had a great laugh from start to finish & the icing on the cake was the trip to Davy Graeme's (scrappy's) for a rake around, so much for locking wheel nuts removed with 2 hammers & a dodgy old chisel

Sounds a good session all round. Still loads of snow here, so put YBs ZX9 in the garage and pulled it down to do the valve shims. Bit of a PITA to get to. Not as easy as old Rexy. Still, all done now and carbs balanced for good measure
