You need to get rid of that awful mirror it's taking up valuable gubbins space :? But as it happens i know a man who's a friend of a friend of Claire balding and i have it on good authority that they have some let's say 'riskay' pictures. :P

I'm thinking of some sort of trade.

Van cleared out... someone with a screw driver! !! How come the only ford with easy access is there vans??? Maybe as a security update they should advise customers to leave the doors open!!! Is it possible to render the drivers door the only thing that the key opens (leaving alarm on) as the alarm could be switched off by the key on the rare occasion the fob battery fails???

Went round a corner and they fooked off down the handbrake area

Did some odd jobs :-)
Fitted a blue roll dispenser in the back.

Touched up a few little scratches on the front, they were on the panel when i bought it but sick of seeing them.


Beefed up security in between touch ups.

Et voila, it's not perfect but also not visible unless you bend over and stare, I'll polish it flat later.

We are but most of us are also a bit perverted :mrgreen:

I once came home from work and i could hear the high pitch whine you get from the egr and i kind of rested my arms on the bonnet and put my ear to it, at exactly the same time as my mrs came out of the front door, she lurched back and looked shocked them said very Loudly, are you actually kissing your van goodnight??

:shock:
Well it didn't matter what i said, i was now in her bad books for having an affair with my van :lol:
Ffs couldn't argue :-(

:lol: you were kissing it really weren't you :P

Day 6 and still the keys haven't appeared from down the back of the seat
I now have a plan to recover them
Flat circular magnet out of an old speaker and a bit of string tied to it will find em
Put the magnet on the passenger seat go round the same corner at the sameish speed the magnet will fall down in between the seats where the keys went
Pull the string and the keys will come out stuck by an invisible magnetic force to the bit of the speaker 8)
Its a long shot
But it might just work :)

It'll probably find the bulkhead or seat frame first... subconsciously you must prefer the back door!!!
