No delivery driver will enter the Brackley blast zone
even these chaps stay 37 miles away from Jaime's house  :P
The garage incident came up in a discussion at work (partly because I have been known to store £100k+ of work gear in there in the past ;D).

Anyway, turns out I'm a mere amateur when it comes to destroying buildings accidentally, compared to some members of my team.

So there :P

Getting back to ATP. It quickly became obvious to me that they had sold me parts which they didn't actually have and were having trouble getting hold of. They then tried every trick in the book to stall for time, from sending emails only in German, sending some in English blaming non-existent couriers, to just ignoring all attempts at communication.
I found them a disgraceful shambles from start to finish, and told them so.

Apparently I'd upset Jamie by my 7th post on the forum  :-[
I didn't know he'd left a magic tree air freshener in his car and presented it for MOT  :-X
surprised he hasn't banned me from the OOF many times  ;D

Sgs want the GM part numbers. I looked on mine but they’ve worn off. Don’t suppose anyone knows them?

Gas struts for the earlier pre-face lift had a different part number from the facelift cars that had the grille attached .... not that it probably made much difference  ;)

It actually makes more of a difference than you realise. Fitted a tailgate with spoiler to a Sierra once but didn't change the struts... It wouldn't stay up, ooh er :D

Length of wood-sweeping brush handle or similar-works just as well and is cheaper :y

My own preferable pikey repair is to clamp vice grips to the shaft of the strut to stop it going back down  ;D
