Today I fitted my egg crate grille from Antz looks loads better than the waterfall grille imo and one of the easiest mods I've done so far (and there's been a few)

Got her serviced, new oil, filter, sparks and cabin filter plus changed the fuel filter. Purchased from Rufe and fitted by the mechanic I use (another stamp in the book). Oh and got the tracking done

last night finally got time to do oil change and oil filter change

took rather long due to the jack no longer fitting under the car...fun and games

then forgot to get a new sump plug washer, so had to stop for night and get a new one today, will finish off tonight

V40 has new MoT which is a result considering I snapped a headlight reflector adjustment attachment on Wed night while changing a bulb and had to repair the headlight - Was expecting beam alignment issues but got a pass = RESULT - Mike

Pictures are still on my phone, but it isn't rocket science to glue a couple of bits of broken plastic back together, the clever part is adding something to the headlights to ensure it will never happen again, once I get back from the meet in Preston tomorrow I will put some details on line as this is something that costs next to nothing and can save a V/S40 owner the cost of new headlights when changing a bulb decides to "go gangster" on you - Mike
