So fantasy gives way to reality.

Monday again, nothing done all weekend on the car due to the kids the weather and feeling like death warmed only ever so slightly.

So back to work today and a shock to the system that was! up at 03:30 and down to work on a refinery for the best part of the day, hot sticky uncomfortable work.

even so the day ended at a reasonable time and I even managed to get home at a reasonable time.

Planning to get on with the kit this evening was fruitless, first off the Mondeo had a flat tyre and a dent in the wheel rim, im hoping that the flat tyre was down to the dent in the rim seeping air.

so after a gentle realignment using the magic stick (IE copper mallet and drift) i pumped the tyre up and tomorrow will tell.

whilst moving the car i noticed the rear brakes didnt sound to good, so more inspection and eh voila rear brakes are worn out.

luckily being a clever cat I was prepared for this having brought new rear discs and pads when i replaced the fronts a month or so ago (ok im lazy not fitting them all at once)

so tonights kit time went on the mondeo, after all I cant have it breaking down on the way to gatwick airport friday!

cant wait to get on that big metal bird and fly off to the sun for 2 weeks!
