Oh dear. Its so obvious you might not look.

My other half reported highly alarming clunk's from Golf mk4 the other day. By text, the first thing I strongly suggested was please wobble each wheel to check they're done up!

After resting 3 days in snow and frost the 57 had it a little harder to start this morning with -11. I had to try 3 times before it ran. All streets were white. So light slithering to work. Somehow the suspension was not as soft as usual. I didn't dare to close the grille cover more as it might break due to the cold. On the way back the screens were iced over from the inside...

Post Re: AZL 1957
Last weekend i filled oil in the 57 and was distracted surely. So i forgot to close the filler cap. Monday morning i started the car and heard a plock noise and a little different engine noise. So open the bonnet und sure the cap did fly open. I closed it and got to work. But the rest of the week i noticed a very slight burning smell. So on arriving home today i did open the bonnet and yes i also did forget to put the dipstick in. The whole engine bay was covered in a fine oil layer. And burning on the exhaust. I thought i did loose the the dipstick but it was still laying on the street...
So i have to start cleaning...again. Pffff

Well it has one propellor.. ;-)
It did look worse than i thought. It was clean in 10 minutes. The rest is rust proofing...
Wanted to fill petrol took the filler cap of and poing it flew apart. The internal spring was missing. So i was looking under all cars. When i gave up and wanted to go inside to get an other cap, the spring was laying between my feed......
Now i have to deal with a problem on a watch of a family member. And our house phones did all gave up working and the ringtone got silent.... Stupid electronic rubbish.
Have a nice weekend you all ;-)))
