Found a use for #ReformUK flyer - over the months anodised red outer rims of my #alloy #wheels got scuffed (one corner particularly bad due to dodging large pothole and clouting kerb (alternative of going through hole would have likely knackered wheel bearing I spent 5 hours replacing last year, or some other suspension component)

Also some kerb rash on rear wheel (pictured).

I'd kept the touch up paint from my previous VW Polo and luckily this is not a bad match to the red (not 100% perfect as its near impossible to match the anodised finish, but better than looking at gnarled up alloy with raw metal exposed)

I forgot another stipulation: must be able to drive up to 60 or 70 mph, for the option of motorways.
IDGAF about acceleration rate, just top speed.

Yesterday I took the little #MGTF out for the first time this year (issues with my back did not allow me to use it since mid-September of last year). It was a nice trip and the car ran very well, apart that my previous repair on the door handle broke again. I should try to fix that again this week. #carrepair #MG #TF #car

Went to start work on the old Dax Rush today. It's been out under a waterproof car cover for... a while. I need to drag it back under the car port and get working on it!

One wheel/brake disc is stuck ☹️ And I have lost the locking nut key 😥 so can't get to it. Grr.

Are any of those cheap twist socket sets any good for wrenching old locknuts off?

Took my car to the dealer for a complimentary annual maintence today.

They told me the cabin air filter was not covered and it needed to be replaced, they did show me a very dirty filter before asking if I wanted them to replace it.

I agreed in the moment to the $117 cost. I think it was about 50% parts and 50% labor.

But I've now looked it up, and it's an incredibly simple thing to replace and is a $20 part. So never again.

Going through some old boxes of stuff, I've found two slim documents written by my dad in his days as an engineering student.

These are some pages from the first one. I think this must have been something he did for his first year practical work. (The reference to army leave was national service, taken before his degree).

Looks like the #Renault #Scenic 2 is leaking oil.

I was able to confirm my gearbox reverse light switch repair and gearbox oil change are not the source of this (gearbox still full, lowest spot of the engine is just at the gearbox darin plug thats why the oil goes there).

Cleaned the accessible bottom part of the engine, found that the gaskets of the oil stick failed so ordered a new one and found out that the oil is actually coming right from the top of the engine. To access this part, a special nut and a new air inlet gasket are required. Waiting for those now...

According to some online sources, the screws that hold on the cover are not sealed/tend to leak around the screw head. So just removing one at a time, cleaning the surface and reassembling them with a bit of "gasket maker" could fix this. Cleaning is useful anyways to find out where exactly the oil comes from if this does not fix it.

Today's catch: Alfa Romeo 156 subframe, complete with anti-rollbar and with some rusty lower wishbones to go.

In my experience, the most consistent thing about car repairs is that you expect certain problems along the way, but the by far hardest part is always something you totally did not expect at all.

When working under the car, you expect tightly rusted bolts and grime. There were a couple of tight bolts here but nothing out of the ordinary. What I did not expect is the amount of trouble getting this 20-30kg piece down. Getting it back in place is no doubt going to be fun, but you'd think it would come *down*, right? Not this one, strangely tangled in the rest of the suspension. Probably missing a trick or two here, this being the first time for me.

As a side note, I've been warily eyeballing those lower wishbones for years now, expecting the MOT engineer to complain about them, but they were a ridiculously tight fit still. Going to replace them nevertheless, along with the anti-rollbar bushings, while going through all this trouble...

The lift height of Quickjack, in combination with a garage creeper is such a game changer. Working under the car is suddenly almost pleasant, and so is getting in and out of there.

Spent some quality time down there preparing to lower the front subframe of one of our Alfa 156's, wrestling with stuck bolts of various sizes. And actually looking forward to continue tomorrow.
