What have you done to your Elgrand today?

First try of my new towbar bike rack. Managed the crystal maze task of fitting 4 bikes on it in just 45 mins :) - Photos for reference when I have to load it again on way back.

Only going away for 5 days to Tattershall Lakes, so nice to have so much space in the Elgrand

Fingers crossed the bike rack stays on the towbar.....

Looks good. Maybe should have closed the boot first 😁

Thanks Voyt. I’m looking at downsizing from my 20’s but can’t quite commit. Seems everyone’s on different offsets etc and I’ve been burnt before with an online wheel purchase that didn’t fit. Was going to take it to local wheel place but they don’t seem to do anything that takes my fancy. Plus they only do sets of 4 the same size, not ideal when you want to go wider on the rear ha.

They were yellow but it hadn't bitten right in if that makes sence, so a little G3 liquid and a buffer does the job well (if i find the time over easter i plan on ceramic protection ---see how long they last)

It does make such a difference to the look of the front and polishing away the yellow is quite an easy job.

I love this! What type of bike rack is that? We have a 4-bike rack for the Pajero but they hang from it and it can't be lowered.
 
Detailed the interior and got rid of what was left of the anti glare coating off he screen. Going to put an anti glare cover on from a tablet.
Give the engine bay a quick once over.

Hi. It's a Atera Strada. Picked it up second hand for 160. It's quite an old model, 2010 I think. They more recent ones still go for a lot used on ebay.

Was a bit nervous to start, but relaxed a bit after 20 miles. Just had visions of it all coming off whilst doing 60 up the A1 :)
 
Took time off from the shed build this morning for an MOT and thankfully it passed :cool: Advisory on yet again a front outer CV boot on it's way out. I've had more trouble with these than anything else in the three years I've owned it. :mad:

I have a resin drive which looks great and is easy to keep clean. I need these and some ramps so I can get my Rider in the air to change the oil and filter!
