The MOT this year picked up a few advisories on the rear brakes, then a month later a slightly noisy wheel bearing changed to a very noisy wheel bearing with a lot of play! Parts were supplied to the garage and she came back fixed \ud83d\ude42 . It&#8217;s now arround 12K since the engine went in. Still a few niggles to sort out, and having replaced ARB deop links for MOT in May I am finding they are starting to knock again ( CHEAP! ) . I have some new rear shocks to go on that I got very cheap 70% off list! so that will be done in the spring. Tyres keep goign flat and the battery is on it&#8217;s last legs. &nbsp;Love it still and it&#8217;s entering the rare breed of cars I have owned more than 3 years as a driver ( despite a long period off the road )<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy:- This was showing signs at 108K of a failing head gasket, I put in a bottle of K-Seal and that did the trick but I wanted it sorted so forked out ~\u00a3700 on having the head gasket replaced. Still loosing water but not sure why. She runs ok though. Just need to keep nursing it along for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Red V6 Jag:- This was eventualy stipped bear and the shell dispatched. made a decent little proffit on it.<\/p>\n<p>The Focus:- This came to the end of it&#8217;s working life with my friend, and as agreed I bought it back cheap as I wanted the engine, my alloys and the interior. It&#8217;s had a hard life in the time it was not with me. I need to find the time to begin the strip out.<\/p>\n<p>Blue V6 Jag:- Picked this up locally as a total MOT failure. It&#8217;s to be stripped for parts too but maybe not as drastic as the last one&#8230; who knows..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well we are at the end of 2017 what has happened in the last year and a bit???
