Dopey said:

Can someone please remind me (again) how to park the rear wiper so I can change the blade again, thanks

Don’t you just turn the wiper on then go round the back and pop the top hatch when it vertical position

If the grey matter is working think that’s how I did last time.

I think your right, I kept trying to turn the engine off lol

Your right, its done now thanks

WTF are they doing? Rebuilding it from scratch?

I wish @Grrrrrr , it is in a garage but not the one it was supposed to be in, these have actually been in contact to say "weve ordered the parts".... and that was that two weeks ago. ill sell the new bumper its getting and buy a metal one, no more piggies after that. I guess the ne bumper must be worth more than a full metal one?

I had the same and replaced with one off a scrapper. I had it cable-tied in place for a long while.

Did you take off the cam cover and clean out the metal mesh in the top in the past?

It worked, no more seeping oil from the cap @plumbfisher. Good swill out with petrol and all is fine.

Not had the cam cover off yet, never remember to buy the gasket and something always crops up depleting my reserves and time May take it off and try reuse gasket if I get time. Lot cleaner looking through the cap since the oil flush but need to open the gauze up

Found out where the coolant was leaking from, not the water pump as i thought, but the back of the top hose! And I'd only just replaced it!
Found the source of my electronic gremlins, 2 bad joints in the fuse box!! At least that's what I've found so far, need to source a replacement now!!

The fuse box is repairable.

The existing bumper is metal with a plastic cover.

Off-road one with tow points probably not more than OE new painted to match? Presuming they don’t ‘lose’ it in the pile

seriously Mark, I hope you get it back in one piece soon

Most OE bumpers are not painted.

My point exactly, unless he sources a scrap bumper, to have new then painted to match and fitted would not be cheaper than an aftermarket one I would guess. Of course if his insurance is doing it then not a factor

What I said is that very few P38's have painted bumpers. In France, the use of secondhand parts is mandatory if available

Compulsory for me finding scrappers is like hunting dragons though.
