Cheers Jim, I've always had the thinking the mind is younger than the rest of its belongings

Next job to do is call mechanic up & get the brakes serviced , they could do with a clean up & inspection , maybe April time. We're see. Photos might be taken too.

They're good fun (following your "little person" around) those "jungle gym" places, and quite a work out at the pace of a giddy, sprinting 3 year old!

Forty here, but still a daft (perhaps teenage?) berk inside too!!

That's brilliant, so special is that & making memories too I recall 22 or 23 yrs ago my first born was a boy & my mum saying they don't stay baby's long , my God worries me I can remember his birth , but cant remember yesterday's lunch or even what color pants I wore, should I be worried about that, also noticed im getting muddled when doing the car, hence why I'm using a local mechanic. Maybe I need a service lol. Matt & Jim keep making them memories with them youngsters.

I fully intend to Husky You're right, the little ones grow up so quickly and every moment with them is precious!

I know what you mean about your own memory - mine's even worse than that!

So today's chore was to check this so called live to short type of fault regarding the egr on this c3, OK made the way to the egr clear by removing air box , plus wiper scuttle panel, opens up lets more light in.
Nothing wrong with the loom , out came the diagnostic box with some tests in the egr with the cover removed , all moving and doing what it should, so undoing the loom I found an earth exposing it's wire ! So that got resolved and then the whole loom was tapped back up, Next was to remove the egr, ive got one on order be with me by Monday next week , as a just incase thing , well it's a good thing I have one on it's way as I was working this unit back n forth and getting it to lift then using some nice spray oil to help it move easier , I went in to get a bite to eat & a drink , to which I got distracted going off doing something else only to go back to my lunch , to find the dog ate it .... oh well, so went back to the car , then the last bit of tug and wiggle , the corner snapped on the egr valve , so it cant be bolted back on ....... almost there I was oh well, looking down into the housing of this part it was clean , even the valve clean as a whistle ! Pity it's not of any use now ... oh well new one next week , ive also fitted a light bar on the front of the car as I drive through a forest a lot & it's wildlife like to pop out when you dont expect it too... well the light bar was fitted before , all proper relay and switch , but the relay failed the switch went to earth so now I wired it to the main beam , simple old school & works . Update next week can't wait for the new egr to arrive.

Sorry for the update , only things havnt been so great with health but I'm still here , So the egr was replaced the one one the car had an air line crack that ran behind the hex bolt so as soon as this bolt was being worked on the problem popped its head up to say hello. After an hour of spray oil & wiggle wiggle it came out , the bloody thing was as clean as a nuns habit.
Oh & a bench test confirmed it was opening and closing as it was made to do , We fitted the new part (5 yr warranty) say it all that, anyway new part fitted & some nice new normal headed 10mm bolts . Stupid hex bolts were crape so they went in the bin , So far its been ok. Scan next weekend as I like to do both cars once a month.

Sorry to hear your health has not been too good Husky and here's hoping that's now all resolved... Just as the Picasso is
