[dinger]

Well had the dreaded m.o.t. the day an it failed on front spring broken, handbrake insufficiant( nothing at at all on near side) and exhaust hooks have broke, Its not to bad i know but thanks to this weather before i left to take it for the test i had to get moving first ! A couple of young lads across the road from me seen me trying to get out from behind the bank of snow thanks to the plough, so they kindly offered assistance which i was onl;y to happy to accept as i had been trying for 15 min's already, Anyway io jumps into car puts in first an trie to get rolling the 2 young lads go to push the car and i hear a bang so i go to see what the problem was to my horror they had ripped the rear spoiler clean of the car! i didnt go nuts i mean how could i they were only trying to help

Window switch will just need the contacts cleaning, check the howto on here. Five minute job.

Sounds like mine, I have it next week. Anyway I had dodgy passenger window switch & took 5 mins to sort using how-2. Also just had spring done so should pass 1st time hopefully
