…and somehow we did 15k miles in the last 50 weeks.

We normally only do about 12k in total when we had the one car. Now we have another car (formerly my parent’s as they stopped driving), I’d have expected the Tuscon to have less miles on it, considering I’ve put 3k on the Sandero.

Work must have been busier this year.

That’s the Tuscon MOT’ed for another year. Only one minor panic before the test, seized up rear caliper and stuck pads on one side. Took it apart last night, filed off the rust, bit of brake grease, job jobbed - tested to 4% imbalance. #diymechanic #hyundai #leaveittothelastminute

The sweet sound of POP! when the joint gets freed from the knuckle after banging on it like a drum for an hour.

That little red battery icon benched my upload schedule.

From the cheap seats: what’s your call—battery or alternator?

Bonus points for “how far did you limp it?” stories!

Wire. Then rewire. Wrap in tape. Looks good. Now we need to test, better put the rest of the car back together.

On a brighter note, I'm getting a new (to me) set of wheels some time this week, can't wait. More details and news to come, wish me luck. #carguy #diymechanic #garageengineer #shadetreemechanics
