Good week so far
« on: 19 September 2006, 18:56:13 »
Made the final of the seniors pairs matchplay competion at the golf club yesterday.

The final is next Monday morning.

Today, washed the car, and solved the problem with my light switch.

Big thank you to Mark DTM for that, the guys a genius.

Tomorrow the car goes into the body shop for some warranty work.

For those still under the anti-corrosin warranty, check the inside of the bottom of your doors and make sure the seal is intact.

It appears that on a lot of facelifts the inside door seal can fail, and if it's not spotted soon enough, will cause rot.

I've already had the drivers door done, now they are going to do the rear offside passenger door.

The nearside doors are still intact but I shall keep my eye on them.

Both were a 'no quibble' job by Vx.

Downside, I shall be driving around in an Agilla for the next day or so. :(

Upside, think of the petrol comsumption AA :-?

There isn't any rust on mine, I was just advising on checking the inner door seals.

It's not corrosian you should be looking for, it's the seal breaking down.....
