After leaving it for a week at Stansted airport, I approached it very hesitantly!

A tired family in-tow, I could really do without any problems today. Pressed the remote key; it unlocked, started on the button and drove us home without issue.

Patted the dashboard and thanked it for hat one, it can have a small failure in the bank now and I promise not to get cross when it happens.
 
Also, forgot to mention that I picked her up from the garage the other day. New front left ride height sensor - fixed all the EAS issues - for now - and the ABS.

Drives beautifully now. Well, apart from the wallowing and late gear changes, but that’s my own fault!

Doesn't always work - my dad nearly wrote his Skoda off in west Wales when he hit a foal that jumped out from behind a rock on the Prescelis. He was doing about 55, got down to 25 when he hit it, did a fair amount of front end damage. Copper who came out to it was relieved it was a foal, he'd been to a similar accident at the same spot a couple of weeks before where it had been an adult horse, which was fatal to horse and driver as it came through the windscreen of he car.

eek :eek:

Still more chance of starting safe in 4 wheels though
 
Bagged a couple of LHD headlight assemblies with indicator's and wipermotors to change onto the beast. Breakers here you can still walk around:D.
As its the complete ass on the frame it should make it easier to change as the alignment will already be close enough, But I have a nice white garage door i can use;).
£110 well spent:).

Took the door card off again to refit the rod that connects the lock to the key barrel. I obviously did not push it fully home into the spring clip after I overhauled the lock and it had dropped out.:mad: I find it hard to get a hand in there to exert enough pressure to get it fully home.:( Only found out by accident as the second FOB needed resyncing due to lack of use. On the plus side the new micro switches are working fine:)

Having never delved in that area I wonder if a pair of long nosed locking pliers would help. I have a pair of stainless steel spring locking 'pliers' (but they are not, I forget their name), used in surgery to lock off veins or similar. Bloody brilliant they are for lots of fiddly stuff.

I have locking forceps of various sizes but the handles need to be a 90 degrees to the jaws to get in there and apply pressure.

Spencer Wells are the known brand. My wife has several pairs from her animation workshop days.

Think mine are about 30 degrees, too cold to go out to the garage and look, Deffo not 90 anyway. Found them perfect for fitting the door lock rods back into the clips on my 110.
