scrappy (seen off wife)

Postby OxtonyxO » Tue Feb 06, 2007 9:05 pm

needed a few parts for the tranny so gave a scrappy in brighton (sorry worthing in the phone book) a phone and hey presto they had what i needed

so my dutiful wife (bless her) went up there for me with instructions from me for a mk 5 slam panel, lap straps and some MK5 DI RUBBER MOUNTS

so she got there and they recognised her from the phone call
after 2hours they came out with the mounts and belts and panel she phones me to say she has them, great

i arrive home tonight and look in the boot and there is a set of MK3 engine mount!

so i check the slam panel and yep looks like the wrong one
and now the strange one

the lap strap buckles don't fit the buckle holders but the holders fit my buckles? yet they are attached to each other

so none of it is any good :(
wife feels seen off, has been back on phone and going back in the morning
she has been given all the parts for a mk3or mk 4 (not sure) when she asked for a mk5.

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
