Well done it is a good feeling to win occasionally.

Thanks. I’ve received news the new part will be here tomorrow so no doubt I shall pay the price for my occasional win by something else substantial coming off in my hand…

Id really like to get it fixed as if this has ticket, it frees me up to look at the shocks and cv boot on the Octavia knowing I still have transport if various bolts don’t want to move.

As for the Octavia, just shy of 2000 miles already and it’s just plugging away at a preposterous mpg. We’re on about 189,000 miles now.

Those Octavia’s are excellent things and will no doubt with a bit of love keep going for years. I find with stuff like that it is good to keep them on the fleet for oh dear me moments.

I'm glad the radio lives on in another car. I swapped it out of mine when I upgraded to Bluetooth etc.

I sold the car as it wasn't being used. The buyer didn't make it home in it as it sadly met a grisly end in traffic on the motorway 😢

Gutted. That looked a lovely minty one.

Autodoc have delivered the part but alas, I’m returning it as it seems silly to put a brand new part in there that’s already got gingivitis…even if it would dust off and spray over.

We await replacement news…

It's probably been on the shelf for years. I'd totally fit that.

To be honest, I’ll probably do the same quick scrub and rattle can versus packing it off in the post again.

Parked the Skoda under the birdshit factory that it our copper beech tree out front.

”You can sit there and think about what you’ve done…”

Miraculously, the next morning the emissions fault had cleared. 
 

Also miraculously, the pigeons had restrained themselves too, clean car and bill of health.
