Timing Chain and Tensioner and oil change done today. @xjay1337 came around and gave me a hand.

Started at about 9ish and finished about 5:30.

Few little mishaps along the way, such as me driving my car of the ramps.  :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:

MOT passed yesterday. It took them a long time to get it to pass the emissions test, I think the cat was too cold. I usually give it a reaming on the way to the mot but couldn't this time.

No advisories.  :love:

Picked up some things for my rear brake refresh. Just need some pads and fluid.

OEM pads and brake fluid. I couldn't make my mind up on aftermarket fluid so stuck with stuff that I know will work

Next time think about ATE SL.6 DOT4. I quite like it and can't fault it after doing a track day. It's cheap too.
