This bloggery is about my allotment in Moira, South Derbyshire, UK. Moira used to be part of the UK coal fields. I have done a lot of double digging on my plot. The ex-miners round here thought I was starting my own pit head hence Mining in Moira. And No, there aren't any Hobbits or Dwarfes round here either, that's Moria.

Result! sort of
The car passed it MOT with flying colours. I must be better at brake fettling than I thought. On handing over the MOT certificate the garage owner asked if I had had the timing belt changed. I knew that the timing belt was about due to be changed so I asked the chap at what mileage the belt was due for renewal. I thought 50,000 or 60,000 miles. If it was 50k it was over due. If 60k I was reprieved for a little while. The chap said that some Zafira's had timing chains rather than belt and they never needed changing but I knew was a belt drive. He came back with the info. Timing belt service interval 40k....doh! That will be £350 please.
