You probably know this already, but a T4 will show exactly which part of the system is at fault.

My airbag light popped on today on the way to my son's house. I moved the seat backwards and forwards and it's off again! Must do the contact cleaner spray and in and out routine ( Ooer missus!) when it stops raining!

Removed the 1.8 T badge from Willy's new boot lid.

A surprisingly quick and simple job using dental floss.

So if anyone needs a 1.8 and/or T badge let me know.

After going to work this morning at 0430 and hearing a sloshing sound , thought I had best check them.

Good job as there was about 2" of water sitting there.

Thinking back I can't remember doing them since at least November

All clear now

I always fancied nicking the badges off a Land Rover and a Range Rover Discovery and re-arranging them to read Randy Lover and Deranged Rover! Foto Shop experts please get cracking!

I used to mould a wide range of car badges, individual letters for the early 80s fords etc.

You should have seen the wording on the cars in the works car park!!!

My cousin had a mk 1 Focus and inverted the F so it looked like Jokus

I had a Cortina MkIV as a company car.
In the company, you could tell how important someone was, by looking at the badge on the back.

The engine size badge was on two pins, so it was easy to invert.
I had a 9.1 L

Did absolutely nothing on mine. It’s been raining here for the last 3 days non stop.

Rain, I'm loving it as it's making my new grass grow lovely

Anyway today I mainly drove to a courier depot to pick up a replacement component for a machine that I waited in all day yesterday for the courier not to deliver

Downtime cost of said machine, from being called out at 3am on Monday morning to 4pm today,........ £18000

I rather think the fitter who couldn't wait for me to arrive in the early hours Monday morning will have his knuckles rapped somewhat

It must be time for me to take a holiday somewhere nice, warm and sunny, and the cost of this call out will pay for a week away, for me and the Mrs
