Thanks matey, will do that tonight

CHECK TIRE pressure.....with the change in temps (in most parts of the US) we should be doing this.

I just did this today as well. Tire pressure gauges are so cheap there's no excuse not to have one! I got mine for $4 at Wal-Mart and it works like a charm. I was about 2psi low since it's starting to get really cold out now.

Filled up diesel and washers fluid, ordered rear suspension parts which I don't know how to call in English - the car started to have knocking noises recently over road bumps. Because of the ****ty roads in Eastern Europe suspension repairs are not uncommon

can't be more than in here (Europe). We pay £1.32p per litre for unleaded petrol and £1.42p per litre for diesel ( don't work it out in gallon or it will seem way too high )

1 GBP= 1.61 USD

Did a mini-service. Changed the engine oil, oil filter and air filter. (didn't like the engine oil which I had replaced about 6 months ago, it wasn't right)

also hoovered inside and all ready for another week of school run

The engine sounds a lot quieter.

True story bro, I just filled up mine, 1.30 euro per liter in Bulgaria Or 13 us gallons for just about $90. And those people are complaining for $35 for a full tank... This is how we roll in Europe
