Great Headlining
Would you "Adam and Eve" it. All I need!!!!!.... I went to check on the Jag and noticed that the headlining had started to come down.
I was taking some pictures of the air intake to see if I can find an induction kit that might fit the jag.
Looks like I will have to call Portchester Trimmers tomorrow to see if it can be fixed. If not the front windscreen will have to come out again.
Joys of owning the Jag!

At least its not just me
This morning was fun...
Ramus picked me up for work as I'm still deciding what to do about the wheels on my car!
The only problem was Ramus ALSO got a puncher... On the same wheel as me!!
We were travelling down the M27 heading towards Fareham, in a traffic jam, in the rain. Some bloke in the car next to us, got our attention and said "Your tyres flat mate". I looked out of the window, and yep it certainly was!! Ramus asked me how flat, as I think he wanted to drive to work like this! I said "Dont go over 70MPH flat".
We pulled over on to the hard shoulder and I made Ramus stop under a bridge...
Changing the wheels on a Citroen thing'y is really easy!! Pump up the suspension, place the jack under the car and lower the suspension... As easy as that!!
The HA support team turned up and watched us change the wheel... But at least they had some handy wipes. LOL

Moving the car
Today I wanted to move the car to the back of the house. I enlisted in the help of Ramus and Rash to keep an eye on the wheel as I moved it.
I only just made it with the tyre nearly coming off the wheel..... LOL....
These tyres are a right dog to find and are silly money!! I think this is because the wall is height (65) and the size are in mm (390) not inches they are a funny size...
"Thank you" to the person that designed the wheels for this car!

Great start to the day!
What a nice start to the day. I know I needed to change the front tyres but I didn't think I would need to do them just yet!!!
I dont think the car knows I have a wedding to pay for...
What do I do, need a new spare tyre and now two new fronts, so I am looking at 360 quid to payout on tyres!
Or do I buy a new set of wheels that come with tyres?

All Passed!
The Jag passed its MOT today with flying colours. There were only a couple of Advisory Notices.
** Two new front tyres and because I have a child seat fitted in the back, they couldn't test the rear seat belt! **
CO Max: 3.500 - Actual value: 0.120
HC Max: 1200 - Actual value: 104
All other bits passed. It was quite a shock, I thought it might have failed on some thing... But hey, can't complain.
I do have an issue with it smoking when I boot it! Could be that I put too much oil in the last time I topped it up. (Need to check some forums)
Thank M & N Autos (http://www.mandnautos.co.uk/)

MOT Tomorrow
Tomorrow is MOT test day. The Jag has only done a couple of thousand miles since the last test and the only thing I think I might have a problem with is emissions.
(Just dropped the car off at Motor World)... ahhhh
Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow!
This is because I have changed the whole ignition system when I was trying to find out the problem with the car misfiring a coupe of months ago!

School Boy Mistake
Well what can I say.
I sat behind a car and was waiting to turn left but I could see my right indicator was flashing, I checked to see if my hazard lights where on... They weren't!
Then it hit home, I had wired both the grounds together on the same relay to get the alarm to flash both lights.... What a tit, for the last week or so I have been driving around like this and no one had noticed.
Simple fix... I cut one of the ground leads last night and will have to buy another relay and do it properly some time soon.
D'oh
