Have you any pictures of the catch can?

Oil catch can fitted yesterday.
Bought from oz4x4plaza on ebay for £42
Very nice product.
Two internal baffles, one fixed and one removable.
Also has a removable dip stick instead of those unsightly view tubes.
Can remove base by unscrewing to empty when required.
Comes with two jubilee clips, a length of hose and two pairs of fittings 19mm and 25mm.
Made from anodised aircraft ally in a choice of colours
Just for northernpower.
Enjoy

New roof rack, thanks Mr Bridger.

Fitted and wired up my new led lower front light assemblies on my clubman.
Then replaced all my internal bulbs in rear light clusters for my new led versions.
These were bought from spiyda.com and are the best purchase so far for me.
The rear lights are very simple to change,remove lens,remove a bulb.
Take one new led assembly fit where bulb came from,adjust led pcb to clear the back of the light lens and nip up top fixing nut.
Repeat with the other two bulb/led assemblies.
Then refit lens.
Works very well.
Very bright, has side and brake,indicator and reverse.
Being led's they last a lot longer,much quicker to illuminate and can be seen better.
I have fitted clear lenses so it looks even tidier.
Pics to follows.

Thermostat housing fitted with DSN Retrosport sandwich Plate (needed a new one and the DSN was only £4 more than standard, also means I'll "have" to get the matching top housing) painted a few other brackets and the radiator. Cleaned up inner wings in engine bay and have them a quick spray, cleaned up and kurusted parts of the bulkhead in prep for a lick of paint. Almost ready to chuck the engine in.

Will be changing tyres tomorrow from my old Falkens to Yoko's as the Falkens have well and truly had it. Got 1 new and 3 slightly worn A539s to go on.

Refurbished the starter motor to find that the solenoid valve is seized. I have another from a Rover 220 luckily! Apart from that, tucked it up as I won't be working on it until Jun!
