Your right Albs but it's not that bad and I can't complain because I was going to break it. It's obviously been messed about with by someone who doesn't know how they come apart because all the fixings seem to be broken and there's loads od cable ties everywhere oh and little thing like the rear ashtrays being glued shut because they are broken.
I've fixed the NCDC 2013 facia panel back on and it's fully working now, replaced the rad and brake light switch (drove it 80 miles home not knowing I had no brake lights ::))

Luckily i've got loads of nut, bolts and fixings plus i'll be breaking the diesel soon so I might put the leather back in it as my aris is to wide for the MV6 seats ;D

New keyfob buttons fitted - for the second time. Note to TheBoy -  the cheaper ones Farnell do clearly aren't that great. Must have lasted 18 months or so though. Done about the same time as the chap from the curry house IIRC.
Yeah, you ended up with the crap ones, curryman ended up with the quality ones. Both types were bought to see if the quality ones were worth the extra. They are. Hence the OOF shop only does the more expensive.

Changed rear pads and fuel filter. The pads had no meat on them but the fronts are hardly worn. Does that mean the TC is working well  ;D

Just waiting for the cam belt and an hour with Mr DTM   :y

Just replaced a blown emissions lamp. I suppose it has spent an awful long time illuminated in the past. Wouldn't have bothered except it registers as a fault code so a bit annoying when doing the pedal test.

Looked at them both properly for the first time in a couple of weeks, without 6 inches of snow covering them.  Promised myself that by next winter, they will be parked in a nice warm garage.  :y
