Golf PCV valve swapped, nice easy job. Sounds much less throaty and EML gone

Don't Handle LogisticsTalking of DHL deliveries - DHL delivered the Creality doors, they also delivered a parcel with car service parts. Amongst other things, I ordered a single pattern air filter and received 2 genuine ones . Makes up for another minor cock-up on the order from that sellerI'm waiting for a DHL delivery at the moment, so you lot have really filled me with hope.

Fixed the Corsa handbrake. Nothing broken in the end. Had just jumped off mounts and seized a bit. Cleaned, greased and reassembled and adjusted and all is well. One happy Harry.
Speaking of the Corsa C.....our car has soaking wet carpets on the driver side floor (behind pedal area is perfectly dry)
Both scuttle drains cleared out the first time it happened.
Where is the water coming from??
Passenger side leak on this one! only seems to be when facing uphill in the rain, also checked the drains etc last night

Not sure if they are still the same but they had a shorter cable leading to each rear brake and dirt would sit in the pivoting groove and eat away at or pinch the cable. The main cable from the handbrake is generally fine and when they do snap it’s just the short part that needs replacing.
