Unusually,I gave it a bit of serious stick through the gears on the way back from Colchester last night,due to an annoying boy racer in his Focus.
When I got home I noticed a long string of several feet of "horsehair" trailing from the backbox.
I tugged it and it just kept coming out.Ended up about 20 feet long. ::) ;D
Got a spare pair of centre boxes here,but may also be on the hunt for a backbox as well in the near future.
Having said  that its a 3.2 back box on there at the minute,and I will be in a position to pull one off another 3.2 very soon,providing its in reasonable nick. :-X ::)
Thought you would have used that on yourself as a cheap transplant ;D ;D ;D :D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  :y :y :y :y

Cleaned the breathers on the 3.2, which were in fact very clean anyway. Fitted an excellent replacement scuttle, (ex-RobG, thanks Rob) to the Elite 3.2. Also fitted replacement bonnet struts to the TD Estate, again from RobG, and also in excellent condition.

Thanks muchly Rob. :y :y :y
