well done
did you get the rear step problem sorted ?
or did i nod off and miss the end of the story :rolleyes::D
 
rear step is still in the back of the beast- got to the stage where unless its vital to beast's welfare and health it has to wait til finances are a little more robust:(

kids have adapted a strange technique for getting in and out - not very dignified :D

:hysterically_laughi so it aint quite so un-cool after all then :D
 
think the idea of walking is less appealing than the assault on their street cred by an undignified scramble ( mind you have noticed that the girls dont wear skirts anymore ):D

i do enjoy making my boy cringe (not hard just wear me crocs and acid pant but only around the house :hysterically_laughi )
 
the pain - beast repair in the same paypacket as Christmas and holiday :Cry:
 
On the condition that not one of you says:-

" I could have picked one up for 2p and it would have taken 15 minutes to fit "

ask em for the old starter back. It is a cheap and easy repair and means you'll have a spare for next time or to sell to recoup some of yer money.
 
according to the mechanic - when they took it out, a bolt fell off it -where, what, why - I don't know ?
