A few repairs and upgrades...

So, its been quite a while since ive updated my blog - sorry to anybody who was routinely following.

All has gone well with my car, there have been the odd minor things to fix but its all running well. Firstly was a leaking drive shaft seal. After lots of research I bought the parts and then attempted the fix.  Off with the wheel arch, wheel, brakes and calliper before removing the drive shaft.  The seal itself took much more effort than I though to remove.  Eventually it came out, new one in and it's all been fine since.  Quite happy with that.  I know I should have done the other side while I was at it but I decided to keep the other seal as a spare.

Next job, I changed the cigarette lighter for a twin USB port with a nice green glow behind it.  It was a very simple swap and cost £8 delivered from Amazon.  It was a one for one swap and fitted in the original hole from the GBS lighter port.  Two wires on the back and it works a charm.  I only swapped it as i realised I no longer own a satnav or indeed anything else that would plug into it so USB ports are more useful.

Im sure Ive done more, but can't thing what - Ill try to update this more often.
