Drove mine for the first time in two months. Lol

Finally installed the new MAF sensor and went for a run. It's definitely running better, lower rpms for more speed, and I think better economy (thank god!). Too soon to tell for sure though.
Have had trouble with fumes coming in the rear barn doors after heavy acceleration for ages so have been saving up for new seals. Today I bought some self adhesive foam tape. After cleaning the door seals with turps, I applied the tape. I have tried, to adjust the door catch as far as it would go, but it was still a little loose. To remedy that, I undid the bottom loop and replaced it 180 degrees. I took the Old Trol for a test run. The doors shut tighter and don't move at all now and the fumes are almost totally gone. Now to check the exhaust system...
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Worked a 12hr shift and then discovered my battery had died, so 1hr and $223 later I was back on the road.
Replaced coolant in the Y60. Engine drain plug completely seized……..Bugger……. ended up draining radiator then refilling running and re draining a few times to try and flush the block…. Lets see how that works…..
Just want to say that the manuals are great… That engine drain plug might as well just be another hex bolt, but thanks to the manual it was found within a minute….Awesome

Changed my road wheels over to my BFG muddies.
Just for a bit of change.
25 mins and all five tyres changed over.
Also bought myself a trolley jack.

Discovered the hazard blinkers were not working. Couldn't find a fuse under the dash and so after a search of the forum, I found out the fuse is under the bonnet. Replaced blown fuse and all is goog again.😄
