This weather is getting on my tits! There are a couple of small jobs I want to get done on the five, but it looks like they’ll keep waiting. As promised in my last blog post I did eventually have the car washed, but I chose to let the local hand wash place do it.

The trouble was, that didn’t go too smoothly. As I got to the end of the process, there was some kerfuffle and I was ushered around again. “Car very dirty, no?” Indeed. The next time around, I got out to check the results. All much better, but sadly the car’s right side repeater cover was missing.

Eventually this was found, but I can’t work out how it’s supposed to stay attached. All I need is a bit of dry weather at a weekend when I’m free, but it just doesn’t seem to want to happen!

Also, I want to replace the car’s thermostat. I plan on following the instructions on the M5 board unless I hear differently in the meantime! I’ve got a bit of leave coming up from work before Christmas so hopefully I’ll manage some success before the year is out!

On another note, I’m thinking of moving this blog to a more general WordPress installation to cover some of the other things I get up to – for instance I went to the WRC in Wales last weekend and I imagine that’d be of interest to some, but I want to make sure I can categorise things to that you subscribers only get updates on the topics you’re interested in.
