I always forget that my mums car has a fifth gear... killing it on the
motorway... it started making a dodgy noise after a while - luckily it stopped.
Anyway, concerning the ggggrrrrrr in the subject, thats from the playing about
with the interior door handle all this morning - went to the small parts store
down the road twice and Halfords twice (who by the way have a huge selection of
about 4 different rivets). Bloody rivets!
Well at least now I might be able to take my car to the MOT test place with the
knowledge that I've done everything I can to prepare it (ha ha! you all know
the extent of this means checking the washer level...)
And finally I can open the door from the inside without first opening the
window - rather emabarassing - turning up in a nice car - getting those looks
you do (maybe its just me) - and then having to wind the window down to open
the door! It has been about 3 months since it broke...
Oh, and who was the lister who said getting that pin out of the window handle
was difficult? I did it in about a minute with one of those weird torx
screwdrivers to push it out. Of course it then took me ten minutes of crawling
about in the gutter to find the damn thing!!! Putting it back in was just a
case of using some thin nose pliers.
Still buzzing from that "job done" feeling,
James
