Default Two good jobs done today

Two good jobs done today. First, cured static on the radio when the rear window demister is on (thanks to JohnDotCom for very helpful post on how to do this); second, cured "spinning key syndrome" on boot lock by replacing broken part within lock (thanks to Uncle Fiesta for the "how to" and Simon rs for supplying a donor lock). Very satisfying to be able to do these things oneself, not to mention considerably cheaper than going to a garage; the help I've received from members of this forum has already saved me many times the amount of my annual subscription (which I renewed last week).

I had a good afternoon checked oil water Plenums (all sweet) and changed the lower engine mount. Also got rid of the worn locking nuts and replaced with normal type
