Couriers are slow as I found out when my clutch pressure plate went when I was in France. Stuck without transport in a little village (La Chapelle Taillefert). Seven days later it turned up, bit of a job on a Classic, on your own and only the car jack to help. When I got it fixed I drove to the nearest town (Guiret) and on the first traffic island there was, you guessed it, European Car parts motor factor, Bugger.

This happened three R/R's ago, probably couldn't manage side bench pressing 112lbs on to my stomach now. As it happened the tin tent was with me, peace and quiet, lovely village restaurant, a trout stream at the bottom of the municipal camping site and being adopted by a local elderly couple who would not let me past their house without stopping for an aperitif. I was in heaven

Ok lets see where we are . received parts wednesday 7 days after placing order (paddok spares they needed to source one of the parts from a land rover dealer) .didnt have the time to attak "toute de suite" SO this morning discovered what i think is the wrong part, door lock received is stamped as 7R the original as 6R on the outer metal shell , also the wiring plug has 5prongs ? ,the original has 6 prongs !!! there is as well what looks like an additional fixing bracket attatched to one of thedoor release mechanisms . got a feelin i am fooked !!!!! got any ideas!!! Aperatif time !!!!!!!!
