OK, I can barely be bothered to clean the outside properly never mind the dirty bits you don't see. I have a nice shiny alternator now though 
.. I wasn't allowed to navigate after that 
. . 
Nothing. He did say my undercarriage looked well keptHow much did you have to slip him for it to pass? Or was it just a quick handjob round the back?
.
. The MD wouldn't shift his shitty jag so I could park in my usual spot so I had to park on the road. It got a little bit mucky,.
.. Now how to celebrate our 5th anniversary 
.
.. Thank god it was only a half hour trip home.
Ah..... the Ramp of Shame. I know that feeling well from the back-end of 2018.Coming upto 5 years ownership this month. The reg plates are still the same and the stickers are stil on the bump strips

By taking the slow road home! Suspected dead cv joint, possibly something more sinister as the banging and jumping was quite severe. I'll jack it up and wiggle some bits until something falls off when I can be arsed to. We've fallen out over this and are having some time apart
The journey home was the most annoying ever. I've never heard someone talk so much bolloks about cars in my life! Anyone else know the new 140i has a 4 litre twin turbo engine? Or that a transit will keep up with S3? OK so some sketchy car knowledge can be excused, but there's not a cat in hells chance that a transit van at a car show has people admiring how great the exhaust sounds
Not matter how embarrassing it is you just have to take a pic though
. He took it steady winching it on and kept an eye on the front bumper. Needn't have worried, there was at least a cm of clearance
.
Nearly. He plans to keep the derv up front and fit a blown V8 on the back, you know for when he's at Pod
.
. Packed up my s**t and went home after taking a little decat vid.
Oddly I didn't notice any brassy bits. Now to decide on the best way to remove the box without adding too much extra work to the job.
BS - man up
I'm too old for this s**t . Doesn't help having to dodge thunderstorms and pissing rain every half hour..
Top work Porl.No rain today for a change and I managed to wiggle then last parts loose and free the gearbox. f**king thing was that filthy I couldn't see the nut at the very front of it that was holding it on. I went around it half a dozen times looking for ones I'd missed before I found the t**t

State of it! The plastic filler wing nut was totally hidden too, I must have scraped a killo of crap off. Now to find out what's wrong with it.
Might need to do some extra work when the belts are done too, seems I have an oil leak or two. View attachment 1538146
I hope I can rember where some of the bits I've taken off came from. I'm definatly ready for a rest.
Let's not get carried away, I've got to put the bloody thing back together yet.
Just do it in the Morning Porl
I only have an hour in the mornings!
Before your morning w**k?
..
Ohh tell him to take some pics! I wouldn't mind if I'd abused it but it's been lovingly caressed during my ownership. Well, except for the lack of fresh oil in the 50k miles I've done
.Get ya grubby mits out of my shed
