Installed new blower motor resistor.

Troubleshot and fixed non functioning fog light.

Cleaned and repaired side repeater.

Replaced windscreen wiper blades and pointed the squirters at the windscreen (not at the house!)

Bolted down scuttle panel.

Incidentally, does anyone else's scuttle panel catch on the top of the bonnet when it's lifted? I've adjusted the bonnet to its lowest position but still happening...

Done a tip run with the rubbish I've been storing in the back.

Installed new (bigger) nearside wing mirror.

Also fabricated and installed this very effective battery clamp.
