got me some propper tools!  

The ones that didn't fall apart, or that I didn't smash up in a minor Mr Angry moment...

[Markjay]

If it is of any consolation, I had a day like this today. Not with the meega, luckily I was not doing any work on the car today...

All kind of things went wrong today, like an expensive piece of kit that we ordered for a customer was delivered... twice, because someone at our office made a mistake and err... ordered it twice, things like that.

But the icing on the cake was when I decided I needed a rest from all this, went into Starbucks for a coffee, then needed the loo... well the men's was busy, but the disbaled was wide open, so I looked left, looked right, and went for it. As soon as I closed the door there was complete darkness, so I pulled the cord to switch on the light, only it wasn't the cord to switch on the light, it was the emergency alarm for disabled people that need assistance... So a very loud alarm went off, and a few memebers of staff apparently rushed to the door and were trying to force their way in. I opened the door, appologised briefly, and quickly walked out ignoring their surprised looks.

Okay its my bad day - phoned parceline to find out why they didnt pick up two consignments i had booked and paid for to be collected on Wednesday.

BARK BARK BARK went i on the phone.

"Actually sir - that would be Thursday 24th, someone will collect them today"

Things should pick for you both and if not do as in Eastenders and have a cup of tea  

All jokes aside its only one day out of the year.

Jamie hope the hand feels better

Mark I hope the consignments get to where they need to go on time.

??  How on earth are you guys actually getting old oil cooler bolts out intact in the first place??!  I've only ever known them to come out completely stripped and porked.  In fact yours must actually have come out pretty badly weakened if it couldn't handle being torqued up.  Dont expect better luck from a car in a scrappy - could be a lot of wasted hours stripping down a motor only to end up with more knackered oil cooler bolts!

Don't understand why your new cooler didn't come with all the new bolts as mine did, but I would have thought VX could get them the very same day even if they dont stock them.

Good luck

Liam

The oil cooler kit came with rubber seals, and the nuts, but no banjo type bolts.

Fortunately, the ones from the scrappy appear to have held, as dealers were all saying Monday at earliest...

Today was a much better day
