Yesterday was up very early (for Saturday) for Fox MOT, which failed on exhaust leak, so then a bunch of the day was about that. Lost too much time. Tried epoxy exhaust paste but that didn't work in one place, so trying high-temp silicone now, need to wait until late arvo for cure time. Hoping this "fix" will get it past MOT tomorrow. But in the meantime planning to order a hopefully better graphite type gasket to fit, and new threaded studs.
Ordered some other "nice" little bits for the Fox, and researched modern stereo replacement for it. (Bluetooth, etc... drop £400 on a nice Kenwood with Fox fitting kit? Feels a bit OTT for a car I probably couldn't sell for that much, haha.)
Also did the usual Saturday butcher & veg shopping and refuelled the V70. Hit the £120 limit pay at pump for the first time (5 days in-office commute cost, sigh).
Did a little bit of work-work, tying up loose ends.
Odds, and ends.
Ordered pizza dinner. Pondering if I have some level of gluten intolerance.
