Thanks all. Everyone's experience is different, we've been expecting mum to go for a while and, in the end, it was a merciful release.

The number of times I went to pick up the phone and call him, as was my nightly routine for years, was ridiculous.
…………
Even though I’ve lost both of my parents, I still have their landline and mobile phone numbers in my mobile. I can’t bring myself to delete them.
Just realised I posted the same thing twice.
The heat must be really getting to me.
Aye just got the complete arms, just waiting for courage to tackle it now. Wondering if I’ll need the camber bolts too.
Ahh a fellow R5👍. I’ve done drop links, next job (when they get a bit worse) is bottom arms! Now don’t tell me that’s going to be easy or I’ll fetch it up to you🤣🤣
Wheel bearing and front spring on the Touareg, not nice.
He's put the Volvo back up. It's tidy, but the high mileage bothered me a bit
Looking at my new to me Mondeo grill earlier, I realised that the monkey that removed it from the donor car simply cut through the plastic tabs that secure the grill along the bottom.
I'll try to secure it with some self tappers, but if that's not possible I thought I'd glue it in place.
Any recommendations for a suitable adhesive that will withstand heat, cold, wet and vibrations?
Sticks Like Shit sounds good!
Where did you buy it from?
If you can provide the engineering drawings to confirm the factory tolerances then happy days.It can't be skimmed. The issue is that no one knows what is an acceptable amount of distortion.
As I understand it, the reason it can't be skimmed is that the head is triangular with the timing cover attached to the block, head and cam covers so any deviation has the potential to make it impossible to reassemble and seal.
They will take quite a few thou, they won't have been made to that level of accuracy in the factory and the gaskets and sealant would take up the delta.
Unlike you, I have spent enough years in engineering design to know dam well that the parts on that engine will not be machined to a tolerance that would not tolerate a fraction of a millimetre mismatch. If you were to add up the tolerance of all the mating items they will easily be closer to the 0.5mm level.

Yes, but it goes without saying, she's already shot.Shoot the wife fair enough , but the poor dog ?It's a love thing, you just know your dog would never be happy without you.
