Hi azza,

Do you wrench yourself? kudos!

When it gets to complicated, I turn into a checkbookmechanic....
Refurbing an alternator would start the transformation...

I did not think removing the alternator was that hard. I just dropped mine off at a shop that is real close to my office. He rebuilt the alternator and I installed it. That is the tricky part because it is real easy to get things out of alignment and the fan does not have much room.

Removing the electric switches for the seat adjustment is way more of a pain than the alternator.

Good morning guys.

Evening, G-Meister. What's up?

And what happened to Doc Fluffer? He isn't holed up working on music videos, is he?

That looks cold, and you look cranky.

You should be flailing for the camera stoked for a day freeriding.

Hi Gents,

Yep I play with the tools, don't see any reason not to, can't let the boys have all the fun, anways, my hubby works too hard to play with the car too much, so its up to me.

The worst job I have done so far is the bloody trim pieces on the windscreens, who invented that!! It sucks, I stabbed myself a million times I ended up using more tape than you would painting the bloody car to hold everything together,
bloody German engineering, oh also the crankcase breather pipe on the rear of the engine, had to drop the engine down quite a bit to replace that recently, if women did more engineering then things that you have to get to, change out, work on, would all be at the front or side where you can get at it easily, engineering design should be for the future maintainers not the engineers. Thats what we try to do in aircraft design, doesn't always work, bloody uni educated drongos (engineers) let their imaginations go mad and forget it has to be maintained down the line somewhere. My 2 cents worth there.

Time for breakfast.

Good afternoon folks. Azzarule, I was thinking you had bailed out on us. Good to see you back.

Now we just need to get Markus back to regular posting.
