Parenting duties today. Made use of the child labour.

This is just Autoglym Super Resin, drill applied and polished and finished with a buff with a cloth. Then tried out Turtle Wax Seal and Shine as I got it free. Not too bad as a quick wax detailer on an already clean motor. Not sure of it's beading properties. Shines up nice. I've run out of Fusso as I have used it on a few friends cars. Might try something different.....any recommendations? Happy with the Fusso, but open to being unfaithful 😅

That's the Australian lass putting up the Sky TV dish on the new neighbours place. She owned one of these in Australia before moving here 15 years ago. The only question I could ask her was "why the Fuck have you moved from Aus to this godforsaken country, to put up TV dishes for Sky?" Apparently, she doesn't know why,either 🤷🏼‍♂️ 😅.

The ladder is a roll off. Has to be unclipped from the roof bracket. Very fancy (and expensive) bit of kit

Nope. I'll be giving it the once over tomorrow. It's a top loader and only for cleaning stuff that's too disgusting for the main machine.

It was a poorly constructed joke mate, not actually interested in washing machines…..except if it was a twin tub or boiler with hand mangle.

I got to the bottom of the drivers side sliding door not opening fully - seems the fuel filler cap protection lever that restricts the door movement when the flap is open is not returning to the fully open position when the fuel cap is closed, so door was only able to be used manually. So I have now been able to disable this lever whilst I fully check the part, I can now use the full electric operation and the door fully opens .... but I just have to remember not to open that door whilst filling with fuel or there will be a fuel flap crunch!

hell yeah I've had the fuel flap crunch! because i often open my rear driver's side manual door as that's where I keep the jerry can. Because my fuel gauge never worked I always carry a jerry but I also often use it up & therefore refill the jerry with fresh petrol at the filling station hence "Le Crunch"

Ordered a set of replacement LED bulbs for the interior of my E51 from AliExpress. A full set for the princely sum of 96p. Supposedly error free. Never used AliExpress before and a quid isn't much of a risk. More when they arrive
