Drove it to go to an archery shoot and found the front screen has now got a load of circular cracks in it passenger side the size of a football and a dirt mark in middle, nice way to start the new year more money to find:(
Not got windscreen cover?
 
Got to check we did have with directing but changed it to a classic policy with Lancaster so will find out , still have to pay the excess , which would be OK if one off my customers would pay his well overdue bill:(
Windscreen repair companies add the excess to the bill they send to the insurers over here;)

That seriously gets on my wick. If someone's done the work you pay on completion. "ah but I'm a bit short this month" ... yeah, well now there's 2 of us!
 
My drivers side door is stuck, it the handle on the outside, opens ok from the inside, sometime it will open sometimes not, I will have to have a look at it on the weekend, I will have to use the TypeR for now
 
Fitted new fusebox and now the starter starts and EAS operational again.
Made myself a field expedient replacement pipe/tube for the rotted out coolant header pipe. 2 bits of vacuum cleaner pipe jammed one inside the other - TOP TIP a Lidl parkside ash vacuum cleaner tube is the exact size in o/d - but too thin on it's own. Cut the same length of Henry hoover pipe (stainless steel), wrap in self amalg tape and slowly push them together. You need to chamfer the ally tube or it won't go in. Get a piece of wood for the end and then hit with lump hammer until it seats. Wait for loctite to dry, top up coolant, take for test drive. Still no leaks 3 hours later :D
Rommel is on the return to Blighty in 2 days bringing the trailer back

Well done on the temp fix hope it lasts to get you all the way home.
Have a safe trip.
 
Got a RHS reverse lamp failed warning. Took the rear cluster out of the holder - you know, the one with the clear plastic for the reverse lights (spot the deliberate error yet?)
Got SWMBO to sit in the drivers seat and engage reverse - hmmmm no lights at all.. how odd. Got her to take it out of reverse and put it back in - nope, no reverse lights. Went inside and had a cup of tea to think.
Get the manual for bulb changing out, is it a fuse? Hmmm. Closed the tailgate baffled and was about to have a long think.
Then I turned round again. What a pillock - the reverse lights are on the lower tailgate and that's why they weren't lighting up on the rear brake light cluster. The clear plastic for the indicator threw me a curved ball. Swapped out the correct reverse bulb and I'm still laughing at my mistake hahahaha :p:eek::oops::D

I get the same warning since I put in those extra bright LED ones from Halfrauds.

You will more than likely need this STC3063. Handle lever repair kit.
 
next time, park up range ?

Found it as I got in the car to go there, we think it was a large rocket stick about 3 1/2 foot long that was by the car
I like the bit about the letterhead, trouble is its not a small amount of money, I could probably buy a really decent l322 for the money but most of it is already spoken for to merchants and other bills:( it might have to get official .

I don't normally have problems as nearly all my work is recommendation but this was direct to customer for a builder I do work for, he`s in the same boat awaiting money but job isn't quite finish because of the customers own window fitters cock up.
