Would it be okay just to come around with some beers and a sticky beak?

Cant see why not Kijima.

I dont think I will be able to arrive untill close to lunch time Jake, have to wait for Graham to get to my place from Werribee and take the car via the car wash (I'd be embarassed for it to be seen in its current state.)

See you boys 2mro !

Kijima,
All are welcome. it's always great to have someone standing around telling you how it should have been done. :lol:

Mon,
I am about to go outside and clean mine, it's filthy at the moment.

See you tomorrow.
Jake

I'll be popping for more of a sticky beak

Be great if someone knew where to locate that damn rattle in my glovebox though

Wahoo for dodgyness !!!! Thank you to all the helping hands ! Jake and Raj (spelling??) Were great hosts. Great to have met some new Melbourneites off the forum and to put faces to names !

Mixxy has had her front number plate removed, Her back plate screwed in again, her contacts on the window swiches cleaned, her windows lubed, and her front pads replaced !!! She is a very happy little Mx5 at the momment.

I didnt break a nail in the process but I did get super sunburnt and need to go find the aloe-vera gel !! Looking foward to the post dodgyness run up the mountian on Thursday !

That would be nice, cos I think I want to change my fuel filter.

Does anyone know how to do that without getting petrol all over yourself?

try clip the fuel hose before removing the fuel filter.

Thanks for the tip.

I followed the workshop manual and changed the filter (when I got home) in around 30 mins. Not hard to do, but the location of the fuel filter is a pain.

It was a good dodgy day today

. I didn't get to do much to my own car besides Jake helping me grease up the window rails and finding out that the window motor is about to go. Helped mixxy clean the window contacts and in the process blowing a 30A power window switch fuse :oops:
