So what did you do in your garage/shed/drive today?
Discussion
I was aimlessly looking at other posts and came across this set. Very cheerful and varied, so to add to it, I took the wheels off my 190e Mercedes to check the brakes - just boring and routine, and I'm glad to report that all seemed well - brushed off dust and so on, applied some copper grease and put it all back. Basic stuff that's worth doing every three or four months.
A week or so back we came north in the MX5 and the blow in the exhaust got much worse as the middle silencer parted company with the rear one. I checked to see that it couldn't fall off, so we went to a family gathering and had a rather irritating drive home. I bought a new section which arrived next day and fitted it no bother, using an angle grinder to cut the nuts neatly enough to be able to reuse the studs and also worked out how to refit the oxygen sensor by winding its wire connector the other way so that it dekinked when fitted. Thank goodness I have a pit to get underneath. So nothing very interesting, just what car enthusiasts do.

I rebuilt the two front calipers, fitted new pads, replaced oil air and fuel filters, power steering fluid gear oil and diff oils on my evo. moved it out of the shed for first time in 7 months. out with the con saw then cut a 15 ×5 foot rectangle out of the floor dug down over a foot and filled with concrete in preparation for installing my new 4ton lift which should be delivered soon
