Got a couple of tyres for my wheels. Also spent 3 hours watching 2 exhaust guys trying to fit my eternal back box to the rest of my exhaust. rear pipes on back box was not at the right angle so there needed to heat and rebend them. So glad I did not take up chris gixer on his offer to fit it for me, poor lad would have been there for a week.

Sady that's always a danger when mixing systems.

Yesterday, I removed the tow bar....


( But to do that I had to remove the LPG tank some idiot  had installed in the boot, in order to get to the rear tow bar bolts in the boot floor. Tank moved over, frame pulled out from under it, carpet lifted. Went under to undo the tank nuts, only to see a single bolt that fixes the under tank bar, to a seperate u shape bracket to chassis. So I'd disturbed all the tank gubbins for nout.
Then had to re route the LPG filler pipe and got all sorts of crap stuck in the bore. Cut the crossmember with an angle grinder, cut some more...nope...still more. Re solder the trapped earth squashed by the tow bar fitters. Swap the sensor holders over, fit the flip up number plate, put the bumper on and off 50 times to fiddle with this and that. Cut the foam insert, cut it some more, bin it as it won't fit....9 fe@ckin30pm I finished.    )



...in order to fit irmscher rear bumper and exhaust. A simple job really.

The bumper and exhaust I've had in the garage for 18months bit couldn't face fitting for some reason.
