Is it just me, does anybody else seem to spend most of their time fixing the car? Since before xmas i seem to fix one thing then something else goes, surley this viscous circle must end soon 
I was 'testing' the car tonite after changing the cambelt and the rollcage has started rattling now. Since xmas i have fixed, leaky thermostat housing, alternator belt (twice!), head gasket, craked wire in injector loom (still not fixed properly), leaky CV boot, leaky rad pipe, and a load of stuff i canny remember. Ok so some of its not massive, but its starting to get anoying  people have stoped asking me 'hows the car?'

Gear linkage, discs and pads, drums want looking at, tightened up play in the suspension, camber, tracking, few costmetic things, need to do a tiny bit of bodywork on the bootlid, I'm loving it, its a healthy hobby
