major service
rotate tyres
sort out that front end wobble
change the gas struts in the bonnet and one side of the pod
Find the electrical leakage that is driving me crazy
Degrease the front end
That's my Christmas present to me. lol

Ok so it wasn't today but last week I did a service on Theo myself. Change oil and coolant, pulled all hoses off and degreased and cleaned them. Took of the intercooler and cleaned that out, took the radiator out, cleaned that, pressure tested it, found out where this certain oil leak was coming from, turned out I'm having blow-by from the crank case breather hose leakin oil into my turbo and intercooler so my plan is to get a longer hose to create a low point where the oil can pool up and put a T-piece with a cap on the bottom to drain very time I do an oil change. Pretty proud of myself considering I'm a first year heavy diesel mechanic and had NOTHING to do with cars previously (I was a computer technician/salesman)

The engine degrease was worth its weight in gold. I hate mud - with a passion. lol

Had the auto sparky change my starter motor and change the ac compressor bearing, much cheaper than a new compressor, also installed new headlights from eBay, pretty good fit, just a very slight difference but they look good.

The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .
