Not only have I somehow managed to lose the locking wheel nut socket for W's Pluriel (luckily we have a spare and I got her to write the number down so we can get another if we need to), but the top half of the boot will only open if I perform a series of desperate moves.
(At least this isn't my fault, it's just old.)
So once I got it open, I moved everything around so that the spare wheel and the jack etc are accessible from inside the car, the two rear seats have to stay flat, or at least one of them. To open it, once the fob has unlocked the car, you push a button on the back and two solenoids pull the locking bits open in the hatch thing. Tomoz I'll take the panel off from underneath to see if it it's electrical or mechanical. But it's a right pain seeing as we is off to Fland in just under a mumf!
Still, did the other drop link. This time I was a bit wiser and ran a thread nut up the threads on the ball joints. This time the lower one undid with no need to mess around with 6 point Torx/star bit in the end. But the top one was still a poop!
And when I went to look for my 1" socket to hold the thread nut I couldn't find it in what I laughingly call my garage. I hate this as it is the sort of thing I never loose and I only have one proper 1" socket.
Also went back and forth to Motabitz as they managed to not order the correct track rod for the Disco. Still, got the right one now.
Had a nice visit from the stepdottir with prezzie for W for Mother's day.
Did you get that RIB refloated
@kevstar ?
Enjoy the evening folks!
