Looks similar to the P38 but a lot more accessible. An easy fix I hope?

Easy to get to, just put the bonnet in service height and it's there. Just gonna 3D print something to hold it in place for now.

I was lucky with the P38, I had spare bits on my scrapper.

Really? Know a p38 is smaller but would have thought 3m from boot lid to front footwell or dash would have got it. I get 3m conduit from rear upper corner down to front passenger footwell.
Tools can take up a lot, my day to day is tester, small bag for every job tools, snips, drivers, volt tester etc then smaller tool
Box for common but not needed tools like lump hammer, 12inch level etc then drill and impact box and screw and fixings box then two more 18” cubed boxes for everyday parts, cable, sockets etc. if I’m doing a rewire I can easily fill car but all unloaded on day 1 and loaded back up when completing job so not too bad.
Problem round my way is vans are a major break in target, and no matter what locks are on it they just rip doors off, using a car doesn’t stand out the same.

Like the guy who put in my hardstanding for the garage in Kent. He'd had 2 pickup trucks stolen in 6 months, so he got a ratty old VW Golf TD estate with a tow hitch. He could sling all his ground working tools in the back, and it was man enough to haul a 1/4 ton 360 machine or a couple of yards of concrete mix in his trailer.

Yep - was standing water on the M56 on my way home this afternoon. And pretty splashy down the Alderley bypass too.

That where I was on the Alderley bypass heading for the M60, had to stop off at Halfrauds on the A34 for the Rainx.

Looking around I see a lot of trades are going back to the old faithful estate car.

Its Sadist Khan`s way of getting money back for all the mismanagement by him, the data shows it will not make any difference only to peoples pockets, i have just had to pay twice what i would normally buy a van for

Took me longer to design, print, redesign, reprint, modify than it would have to change the whole linkage

new xenon bulbs arrived, will replace and keep the old ones as spares
they arent bad, no flickering etc but the colour is a bit off and the business end is fairly opaque, better than nowt when the 'cheaper alternative' fails on a dark, rainy night, miles from home
