Re: What work did you do on your car today?
well it wasn't work on MY car... but i pretty much did all the work while my mate sat around watching.
2001 Prado,
reconnected the front drive shaft,
filled the transfer case with fluid,
bled the brakes,
reconnected the transfer case bash plate
attempted clutch starting because the battery was dead... to no avail
attempted jump-starting with my car... to no avail
turned my car on, pulled the battery out while it was running and put it in his car. this worked
his car started, then we swapped the batteries back so he could charge his one up 
and now i'm off to sleep after having been awake since 10am yesterday...

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
I put new grooved and dimpled discs and new pads on the back, plus took the front pads and discs off to give them a clean up and get all the dust out of the vents and the grooves & dimples as they were clogged up thus reducing airflow - wheels stay cleaner longer now.
