Update boring day to day so new track rod ends fitted and tracked up took 25 mins to remove old ones and fit new so much easyer than my old 106 took me 5 hours to remove them off that! my boot lock didnt work and had a long pice of speaker wire to pull when i needed to open it so got a new badge from scrappy found out there old one was only held on by one screw that had rounded of 
so had to drill it then fitted new boot lock now sorted for time being but ive orded one of the custom painted ones off ebay so will be changing it agin as soon as it comes plus need to go to scrappy agin to get 2 more scres that hold it on as was gona re use mine but they wasnt any........ and last thing for today took the engine cover off gave it a good wash and then a quick polish not great could do with a re-spay (was painted by previous owner) but looks alot better for now!

Next things on list to do
service it as dont no when it was done last says 8,000miles to next service on the indicator but dont trust that (just ordered K&N pannel filter as the cone filter no good for it)
decat and take the back box off and have a straight pipe with a tip (keep the center silencer less restrictive than a back box)
Then off to see mr wippy in leeds for a remap
Anyway comments welcome :-)
