Hi Matt,

nice to hear from you.

I agree with your observation, the thing is he started carrying on about not being worth his time "stuffing arouind" with overseas parts and then having the wrong part delivered. I wonder if he really ever has purchased parts overseas or just a cbf attitude.

As I live in a regional town there are only two panel beaters, it may be worth my while next time (hopefully there won't be) to ask my insurance company to book me in somewhere else. ATM he's moaning about the fact he can't get a tail-light despite over 4 weeks notice from the insurance co.

I recon it's the cbf thing. Anyone wanting your business should be fine with installing parts you supply. They wont offer a warranty on them so they're on a good wicket really.

had the auto transmission fluid changed (probably the first time it's been done in 12 years/86k miles)

Refitted all the door cards with my JBL speakers in situ

fitted chrome heater rings, and most of the black oak kit from Simon, dropped the heat gun nozzle on my thumb as things were going too smoothly

Finally remembered and got to use my reset tool for the first time after I serviced it last week.

Drove to Jits and noticed the dreaded swilling water sound, so I rodded my plenums when I got back and boy did they need rodding!!

Had engine mount fitted ( modified mondeo one) to the launch car...not as easy as the diesel one .Found it hiding behind an heat shield.Then came the fun bit.Nephew could not get bolt out due location of the lamda sensor .undid the manifold to get it out.The small bush was all but missing and only the metal bits were remaining.The mondeo one fitted and seems ok on the drive home...Pollen filter will be fitted today also , now its arrived from ebay £5 delivered.
