Took the day off today and drove from London to Suffolk for a few hours.
Car gave me a scare when I first started her up as the tick over sounded a little lumpy and the emission engine light was on. Know I have a dodgy O2 sensor (bank 1), so stopped and started for it to sound okay again. Light went off during a quick stop off but its not sounding perfect at times. Pulls fine and no other issues with the engine other than this, so when I get my new discs and pads I may book her in for a new sensor too. I will try and add a video of the noise once I get it off of my phone.
Other that that I do need to sort the leaky passenger side headlight washer. Empties fully and I had a quick look through the inspection hatch but weirdly, no sign of dampness?! Filled the tank with a little water, lights on and tested the washers themselves (tricky to do when you're at the wheel!), and heard them operate but they didn't actually emerge or spray. Just got the noise, so I'm perplexed!
Anyway, here's a nice pic of that rear end on a classic Suffolk C road
