Just need a rant:
Bought the MX5 out this morning for the first time in a week or so. Passenger window is now sulking in the door and not wanting to come back up. It is also dying for some new alloys/tyres.
Mum's car (SLK) needs a service but before that I have to remove 100000000 peices of plastic to remove the sump plug and oil filter.
KA is leaking brake fluid from the threads of the band spanking new bleed nipples. And it's leaking coolant from a gasket.
Alfa wants a service costing £277 and some new front pads (might do that myself though lol)
 
That's better

I went for a smash round Windsor LATE last night cos I couldn't sleep in the Mazda, got pulled over for coming a little sideways off the King Edward Court round-a-bout and he was having a chat to me about cars in general. A black MiTo went past and he was like - yeah they're nice, my wife wants one, theres one with POW on it round here... I was like lol it's mine.

Clean the hole out with a cotton bud, both faces need to be clear or it wont seal, its not the thread that seals a bleed nipple is the contact inside..
