it has been a lovely week of terrific sunshine and general outdoor warmth.

Both front and rear lawns have now had their first cuts of the season, the rear garden furniture is back on the garden and it feels warm during the day….

Last weekend we installed Elliot’s new led grill to Marco (although we have yet to sort the electrics to enable it to actually work) and this weekend (well today) has been a Mia special.

Olly has sorted out an oil change and the replacement of the rocker cover gasket – both of which have helped eradicate a ticking noise that the engine has recently begun to experience. Safe to say, he is delighted so we will need to do another oil change and oil filter change in the coming weeks (so we can check for any crap in the oil – given we know it was new as of today.

We took it out for a little run and it was in great form overall. Hopefully during this next couple of weeks (schco holidays) Olly will find the time in his busy revision schedule to begin to take a look at the door windows – the drivers side needs checking for functioning electronics so that we can put an electric kit back in it (previous owner removed it for some reason 🙁 ) and also to look at the passenger side to determine if we can just buy a repair kit to replace the cables – we think this is all that is required to ease the opening / closing operations (basically we think the system is gunged up and a replacement cable mechanism (rather than entire system) will suffice).
