[Sir Tigger KC]

Sat on my backside in the Mondeo while the car wash did it's thing and washed all the seagull shite off. 

Lazy sod.

Bucket.....sponge....fairy liquid ( or similar )......job done.


Plus you get an upper body and cardio workout thrown in for free.


Then crack open a well deserved beer.

Yes. 

I believe your elderly scouse uncle pays a couple of illegals to wash his car.

Keeps the costs down.

£10 for a swarthy southern European to rub a wet chamois all over my car. Hardly cheap.

I use the car wash at a local BP garage where they do buy 3 washes get the 4th free, so it works out at £6 a go for the Silver wash including the wax and dry.

For you or the car?

[TheBoy]

Fitted a new suspension height sensor, seeing as it turned up (late).

Shame I had to trash the old sensor to remove, as it was a damn sight better than this eBay junk, and now the car is underivable.

[Doctor Gollum]

There's a lot to be said for buying genuine parts.

I don't believe there's a machine that does a back, sack and crack?

I don't believe an up and over car wash does a wax and dry either

It would if you strapped yourself to the roof!

Yeah, though the genuine part is ridiculously expensive, and if I ask my dealer to post it, they aren't the quickest.  So took a punt on egay, foolishly.  And now I haven't got a car to get me to Ipswich this week  , though apparently I still have to go

If there was such a machine, would you trust the technology?

I'd lend you the Proper Car, but you'll be limited to 40mph and about 15mpg

I sympathise re the dealer though... The parts manager at my nearest is a total bell end*, his staff spot on but he's obviously chasing their commission.

*He actually threatened to refuse to sell me parts that aren't listed against my chassis number when I asked him about coding and went as far as to say that servicing wouldn't touch the car even after I offered to pay them to inspect everything to confirm that it was all genuine and correct

Fortunately I drive past a much more useful dealer on my commute.

[Doctor Gollum]

Incidentally, is it a Ford part?

[TheBoy]

Incidentally, is it a Ford part?

Hard to tell, as JLR only sell with bracket, and thus their PN is with the unique bracket.  Mine had minimal markings left, but looking at images on google for engineering numbers, it starts AW93, thus originally (from a JLR point of view) for a 2010 XJ....

[Doctor Gollum]

And presumably it's the bracket that determines the position rather than the sensor

Eh?

AW933C280BC to Vin ending V07103
AW933C280BD V07104 to V39426
8W833C279BE after V39427

The bracket is not part of the sensor (sold separately)
