Lol, Im sure it will come up....In what way goosed?
It would benefit from a cleanup, but I cant see anything wrong with it.
As far as I can see it needs 6" of backbox pipe removing from it and a new backbox sliding on.
the old backbox had been blowing quite a bit from the seam at the top, then snapped off from the pipe at the front end and bounced along for a short while

From my little 'incident', there will be nothing left of the DPF pipe inside the back box joint  :y

I've just replaced the adjusters on my headlamps.  I'm so glad I found this forum, I wouldn't even have had a clue how to fix them or even that it was a problem if I hadn't read it on here.  The instructions were handy and easy to follow, as the aluminium adjusters seem to have fallen by the wayside, I was able to find a similar offering on Ebay that does the trick:

You must be spitting feathers !  :o
I had some time today to get stuck into the list of car jobs, but couldn't muster any energy or motivation, so had an afternoon nap for a couple of hours instead. I guess I'm getting to that age now.  :'( ;D

Spitting feathers means you are very thirsty, I see someone has bastardised that one too.

Carpark ding.  Inevitable it was going to happen :(

No point getting upset over it, SFA I can do to undo it, and I don't know where it happened...
