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.  :y
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!  :y

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. ;) >:D

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

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!  :)

Meanwhile back in the car world----------
 Managed to weld the section of Omega door with window motor into the Austin door , powered it up and its in line with glass tracks. Only thing is it goes to low, spot of weld on the gear should work as a stop.

Pulled the reversing camera from the OHs Evoque and it's absolutely goosed. Lashed it back together while I order a replacement.

Fitted a new pair of Avons to the front of the French Toyota. Was murder on the knees and various other body parts.
I really am getting too old for it.  ::)
