Lol it never failed it passed and only log advisory was slight leak from rack. I did want a clean bill of health but never mind, it's 3 now so it's a tramps van and a such I have been soiling myself and my mattress in order to achieve my new found status. 8)

I'll be refitting my alloy with cracked tyre again tomorrow. :lol: it's on the back and just for me :mrgreen:

I plan on some big wheels at some stage. And opening windows when I find some :?

Also a said, logbooks show a damaged vehicle don't they? Mine doesn't :? I might do a vcar or whatever they are to see.

But regardless of that it has devalued since new and since damaged and i guestimate that give today's deflation rate and austerity measures it is now worth 900gbp on today's market :cry:
Bloody seconds hand car market.

Here's another 1 for you Alanis.

So the window people are fitting my glass on Friday, genuine Ford. But they can't calibrate the camera. :roll: what kind of 2 bit company is this :? Anyway they called and told me they need to book it in at Evans Halshaw to get it done as they have an agreement with the insurance to do it. So I have to drop it off there on the second Jan to be fixed 3rd Jan. Even though I have ids and can do it free I'm sure :(

Tbh I'm not sure I can be bothered but she said if it doesn't get done then it will void the insurance :shock:
Ok well that's fine I'll see if I can get them to sort the pas leak out while I'm there. Warranty ran out yesterday too which I thought it was today. Ah well.

Ah so it was one of them "if you can change this and this in 30 minutes it won't fail" type MOTs 8)

You don't get this sort of trouble with a tramps van windscreen you know, is the forward facing camera part of the screen then?

Aye, that's about the strength of it: we make our own luck!

I spent the weekend lying in a car park at 1°C in horizontal rain 50 miles from home, replacing my failed alternator with the one off my old van.

Which, after being stood idle for 2 years and after persuading it not to be seized, also didn't work....

Well they're here, the old window is nearly out, the apprentice is doing it, got loads of before photos of my beautiful trim and straight lines and new car smell.

I have my fingers crossed that they don't think it's just a van, I removed the wipers and put cardboard on the bonnet catch to allow it to be opened and closed without the key and I put blue roll along the dashboard.

If this care doesn't atleast show them it is my joy then they're C***s.

But if course it is all moot because I doubt there's anything I can do :(

Well they were polite and shook my hand and fitted a new rain sensor.

They had lots of fancy tools with Suckers etc on quick looked like they could double up as sex toys. :shock:

They did some damage :(

But, I accept it as its a genuine Ford glass and I probably would have done similar job or worse.

In other news, the passenger door was sitting slightly proud at the top which never caused a problem and despite adjusting the hinge it seemed to be the best place possible :( so I bent it with my fat by pulling it and it now looks factory :lol:

Oh and i fitted the pg9 8)
