Massive, massive thanks to YZ250 for popping over - he's not exactly just around the corner - and for his perseverance on it

I hope you don't hurt like I do, it's not a comfortable position to access it the way you did, laying with your back on the cill for ages.

No worries, happy to help.    I think we always knew that the refitting would be challenging working blind, but I thought that we were on a hiding to nothing at one stage when the time kept ticking by.   
All good here thanks, hopefully I’ll still feel the same in the morning.    I’d have never asked you to double check what I’d done if I’d have known your back was so bad, you looked in agony.

Oh....and Jaime, and Mrs Jaime, you are effing useless 

I'd like to say we loosened it up for him.  Obviously that's BS, but it sounds good

My Smart Roadster had a brake/ESP/ABS problem that turned out to be broken wire to/from the brake switch. Swapping the switch was fairly simple ..... however repairing the wire involved lying on the seat arse about face so I could reach the loom above the switch. That was really fun!

I'm not in a good way, lol.  I'm just about to jump in a (hot - don't tell my physio) bath.  If you never hear from me again, I couldn't get back out

I was annoyed I was unable to check it, as I'd felt a bit useless all that time, as its one of those jobs where an extra pair of hands doesn't fit, let alone help.  So the one job I had, and I still couldn't do it!


Fingers crossed you wake up without any aches and pains from it, and thanks again.  Mrs TB was just saying you "are a superstar"

Yep, definitely a one man job. 
I had a thought on my drive home. When we do the next one,  we could tie a piece of string around the plunger in a slip knot, and then poke the string through the hole and pull the switch plunger through the hole.    Also, if the accelerator pedal was removed we wouldn’t have kept getting our arm trapped between that and the brake pedal. 
All good fun.    I’m just glad that you knew what position the switch plunger should be in, as I wouldn’t have known that.

The last time I had to do a brake switch - on the Terracan iirc I ended up sitting upside down in the seat with feet braced on the headlining and my head and shoulders in the footwell.

I believe my ex wife has the pictures - which is a bit of a worry now I come to think about it. 

Well done to all involved - job jobbed!
