Northern Lights!

I can highly recommend washloo.co.uk, but watch out, they can be more expensive than a peugeot 307!

Sorry to hear the Saab woes, hope it magically fixes itself. Mine seems to do that from time to time [emoji28]

So what's the verdict? Cosmetically a bit tired but what do we expect from an 18 year old pug? Engine is surprisingly lively, probably something to do with a top end rebuild done a couple of years ago at great expense. Typical french driving experience, comfy ride, squidgy seats, reasonably sharp handling and short ratio gears. Good fun in the twisties. It's got an issue that needs checking out, it's a bit difficult to find the biting point.. it's kind of everywhere all at once. Working theory is engine mount based on MOT advisory and the clonk noise when you wobble the engine a bit. The recent service history is crackers. They could have bought a brand new sandero but for some reason kept this going instead! Overall then, the mystery car presents a mystery to solve but promises to be a goodun.

Step 7 - escalated and deployed at step 4... Thanks for the hospitality [mention=5176]gadgetgricey[/mention] Final PC = 3

Step 6 - home with no FTPs

Step 4 achieved, leading successfully to step 5

The guard is giving it the full Darth Vader experience on the PA. May the Fourth be with you

Gren seats are gren

Thank feck for that. PC = 2

Well that was stressful, a bit of mitigation planning deployed and made it to the proper train!

Uncancelled.. nobheads on the line apparently.

But, but, I'm sitting in it??! [emoji24]

Merseyrail in on-time shocker!

First leg = no bus

"Northern rail services are disrupted due to industrial action" Will I get to stage 4?

Stage 3 is a 3hr 42min travel game.

Stage 2 in progress

Stage 1 complete. PC = 1 Seat set to hot. Enema mode not required.

But before all that, a large brew.

Wing mirror casings - mine were scratched and holed so I got a pair of black plastic ones from neo brothers. Because of the amount of black trim on the car in general, plus the current trend for cars to have black mirrors, they look pretty good without needing paint. Easy to swap, just need to pop the mirror glass out to access the clips.

The main beam issue will probably be dirty contacts in the switch. It's quite common. Mine does the same, intermittently. First thing to try is pulling the stalk out, putting some contact cleaner in there reinserting the stalk and giving it a good workout. If that doesn't work then the next level up is airbag off, steering wheel off, and cim removal to check the switch for damage/clean it/swap it. It's simple, just a bit of a faff so worth trying the contact cleaner route first.
