Had the Air Con Re-Gassed... Nice and cold now :y :y
Briefly. You know you're wasting money, and you need to sort it ;)

But at least it'll be cold for the summer ;) Held the Vacuum for 10 minutes anyway ;)
Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Washed it, claybar'd it (to get the winter grime off it), dried it, polished it.
Annual scuttle clean.

At the risk of a royal caning, what's claybarring? I have a gay friend who may answer it, but I'm afearred to ask...... :-[
Trouble strikes in series of three's, but when working on the car, the next job after a series of three is not the fourth job -- it's the start of a brand new series of three

Never come across that, good I assume?

Replaced the broken catch on the glove box ..... not a difficult job but how many screws ????  I think the designer had shares in a screw company !!

Also replaced the broken centre arm rest.... piece of doddle ...

So........ something large, heavy, and in constant use is held together by 2 screws and  a couple of plastic clips...... something light and not often used requires the removal of 3 pieces of trim, 23 screws, 2 hinge pins, a stupid circlip and a metal shield that seems to have no purpose whatsoever !!

Strange .......   :)

Fortunately the garage that does my MOTs (who we've used for many years) also does AC charging at the right price :y
