The car's been with Andy at Q-Mech for a few days this week.

- B Service
- New MOT
- New front discs and pads
- Fit new steering wheel

105k miles and still going strong

Only advisories were 1 rear tyre and rear toe links. All being done in the next few weeks.

The Elise is having a bit of a bad start to the winter. About 2 weeks ago the rain got into the plugs so I replaced most of the ignition system:

- Distributor cap
- Rotor arm
- Spark Plugs
- HT Leads

Today the battery has gone flat. The AA came out and confirmed that the battery is past its best and needs replacing...but it's covered under the P&L warranty

Well the hardtop is on so its officially winter

No other news really, car's running well and due for MOT and a service in the new year.

Firstly the MMC disks are now sold..in a record time of about 4 hours thanks to the SELOC classifieds.

Anyway - its that great time of year when the car insurance is due for renewal. A-plan have been very competitive until this year but Chris Knott managed to shave another £30 off their price. Insurance total this year - £429. Bargain.

Hopefully the weather holds out a little longer before its time to get the hardtop out.
