Expect a wanted ad for a good used dispack next week.
Given your location, try the OOF breaker in Essex...   ...oh, hold on a minute ;D
I know he's in Norfolk, and that Albs probably doesn't have the appropriate visas, but that nice young Twiglet chap might be able to offer some assistance :y

I drove my car today!
Not too exciting to most but hey, it's been four weeks since I've been able to and it felt awesome to be behind the wheel of my mig again!

I have been to Naarfick twice this year (once with young Mr Twigs),strange though it may seem my car radio wouldnt work while I was there. Guess Marconis technology never quite got that far. :-\ :D

People also appear to have more than the average number of fingers and toes,and can swim extremely well due to the webbing between these digits.
One chap introduced me to his sister who was also his aunt.Not sure why he was so confused. :-\
;D

Twigs seems to like it though. He has this on his ipod on constant repeat,and sings along for hours on end.

the black suround that goes around the automatic gear lever is coated with a rubbery type of paint that looks awfull as it  marks so easily...so removed it and the switches rubbed it down with  1200 wet and dry and fairy liquid in water until it was all removed then t.cut it and low and behold it came up brilliant...now when i look down at the centre console it looks so much cleaner and far better than that crap rubbery stuff they cover it with  :y

Spent 4 hours getting the (disconnected and sealed) side door on my van open ready for the bodyshop on Monday ::)
Whatever it is... I didn't do it

     Comedy of errors >:( over the last few days. Changing head gasket, I damaged the head, sourced another with exhaust manifold still attached, removing manifold to replace old gasket, the two front studs snapped, and trying to remove them, bolt extractor snapped.  Looks likely I will have to cancel holiday in van. To top it all, I walked into a shelf corner, in the garage and gashed my head. All in all a s**tty few days.

Drove it. The combination of warm engine, cold air and kick down is immense! Autos are much better than manuals. It seems much more torquey than the manual.

Looked at the spare offside wing mirror sat in the pax footwell waiting to be fitted after stupid bint in jag smashed mine.

Replaced its rear HID level sensor today.

Cleaned and tidied it up ready to put it up for sale. It's bye bye Omega time I think.

Finally got round to the oil and filter change today and good cos I added the Wynns Lifter Treatment so I hope that helps with the tapping. Time will tell!  :y

Once I'd finished i got ready to go out the door to the Vauxhall fest @ Billing..... luckily i had the sense to check online what time it finished when i saw the notice that it had been cancelled due to storm weather on friday  :'(

Keeping an eye on the VOBA site for details hopefully of a new date  :y
RIP Paul Lovejoy
