Replaced all the bushes on the Passenger side front end, removed the strut, then everything went to ####ing **** with previous owner stripping the strut bolts. Will hopefully have this side back together tomorow night, then start on drivers, then move to rear.

Got annoyed driving to work.. only a 10 minute drive and not much traffic, yet the car gets up near hot when slowing down or stopping at lights for a bit.. goes right back down to under half once driving again... Already replaced the coolant cap a few months back due similar thing happening.. however my dodgy ass mechanic replaced my radiator a few months after that (due to a lovely stick punched a hole in it)

Wonder if this could just be air in the cooling system vs thermostat or other issue?

Drove it to work. Halfway through a merge it decided to stay in first gear most of the time. Only changes when revs go above 3k no matter throttle position >.>
Happy it's going to get wrecked. Will have fun, hahaah

Took it out for a spin, first time since about a week the floods started up here. Air bag light came on, just hoping it is from the humidity, so I gave it a good run :w00t:

Now to wait until I get a chance to check the codes.

Decided the 5L is a POS.
Drove it for the day. Then taught the other halfs sister again.

Found that the rocker cover gasket leaks. Its not even 500ks old! Leaks onto the exhaust.. My AC dont like that.
