I'm going to try and find a spark. I need to check the coil and distributor. If I can achieve that it might run!

Took my daughter to Portsmouth Uni today, that's 2 daughters at Uni now. Expensive!!
Taking my 7 year old son to rugby in the morning I'll then be moving my '76 Celica into the garage space that my MK1 took up until a few days ago

My job was to re-grout our bottom floor slate tiles.

10 minutes in grinding out the old grout, disk exploded!

Went and got a £20 diamond grout/masonry disk, 10 minutes later, angle grinder melted (thanks to Gilfy I think).

One fecking job I had to do and after two days, it still needs done.

I did fix the dishwasher though and also the leaking boiler so browny points there.
