| Fitted a nice shiny new alternator. The bearings were shot on the old one and it was making a horrible noise at tickover. Pretty easy job and only cost £87. Just sorting a few things out before we boo ... |

Bit of an update:
Engine has needed some work recently. The head gasket went a few months ago so it was a good excuse to dismantle bits of the engine. The Haynes manual was invaluable and made it a ... |
