Without melting the strut internals

 Just be careful,if not be another Insurance claim.

Using the highly informative maintenance guide on here, I renewed the headliner in my 97 estate today. I'd bought some head-lining cloth at the NEC last November, so with plenty of spare time at the moment, I decided to give it a go. The old one was out in an hour, I carefully peeled off the old cloth, wire-brushed the board, spray-adhesived the new cloth and the board, and got my brother to help put the two together. After trimming off the excess it was ready to refit. It came out great.

One thing I'd add to the guide is that the cargo-net roof fitting holes are held in by colour-matched spreader pins - if you get your finger inside the hole you can partially push them out from the inside and then pull them out by grabbing them with small wire cutters/pliers, making removal 10 times easier than forcing them out like I did with the first one. The whole job took about three hours, with the well advised cuppa breaks.

Glad someone has had some use from the guide

The guide on here is absolutely brilliant in my opinion.

Put in a new slimline sub-woofer, and took the big bugger out and got some boot space back, the actual woofer looks nothing like what's on the picture on the link below, slightly varies but still OK, so did put on the back seat then thought I will chop the original woofer enclosure, so I can then put the amp and woofer on either side, so that's what i will be doing today, after go to Greenwich and get some aggregate , tomorrow, remove the old OOF sticker from rear window and put the new one in, as old one is somehow stained look, think from smoking in the car

I've had an annoying leak into the boot on the Mondeo and the spare wheel well soon becomes a pond in wet weather. 

So today I finally got round to doing something about it and removed the rear bumper to find that the nearside boot vent was loose.  So removed both vents, cleaned them up and refitted with plenty of silicone to seal them.  Refitted the bumper and hopefully jobs a goodun!

What did the blade have an argument with 

[Shackeng]

Some idiot chopped a tree down and left a stump just short enough to hide in the grass.

Does this idiot live in your house? Yes?
It must be your wife then, cause I know you wouldn't do something like that
