Shy

Got the car back. Welding all done. 

Found the part number (yes, it was easy after wiping the grime away!), it's 8052991124.

Just need to find one on the interwebby thing...

When do you restart the limbo dancing Tig? Sounds a daunting procedure you've had there, hope you're rocking again soon.

Limbo dancing?      Christ I need to get walking properly first! 

Although I'm doing a mile a day on my exercise bike. 

I misread that and now I can see Tigger Lap Crutch dancing. Nooooooooo............

Fixed that for you!

Work  :'(

Checked both cars over and started them up for the first time after having both my hips resurfaced five weeks ago today. 

The V70 started first time, but the Mondeo's battery was flat and as I didn't think was a good idea to go hauling batteries out of cars at the moment while on crutches, I jump started it off the V70 and left it running on the drive for half an hour or so. It took a bit of cranking to get it started though. 

Anyway, it should have put enough charge into battery to get it going next week when I can officially drive again. 

I missed this post, Tigger.  That's quite a big deal with your hips, I hope you are back to your athletic self very soon. 

Thanks Uncle STEMO! 

It's not been too bad to be honest, but I've more or less had to learn to walk again.  Getting there though and should be bouncing around again in a few weeks! 

Didn't know of this Tig.

Was it necessary because your hips have been 'ground down' through pleasuring the ladies.

Dysplasia, early onset arthritis, with a bit of femoral acetabular impingements thrown in for good measure.  In fact just like an old dog M'Lud!

There are at least 8 RHD part numbers. Can't narrow it down without a lot more info, so you really need to get a part number of the current unit.

Does your car have servotronic variable assistance power steering? If it does, there will be an electrical connection on the side and a square box solenoid - like this...

If it does not, then there isn't an electrical connection, and no square box, like this...

Thanks guys. The car is stick at the welders as they wanted to do a small bit at the front while they had it. Thus, I can't go and check part number etc.
Should get it back later this afternoon, fingers crossed.

Yes it does lock up sometimes during cranking only for a split second before continuing to crank. It doesn't use any coolant or oil. Will check earths and starter.
