The 'pointy tip' of the turbine po ... |

Dropped into reverse today and I'm sure I can see a lot more of my rear window than ever before.
I had a good look at the camera unit and all looks secure - is it possible it might have got knocke ... |

| I found that you have to be sure to cut off all the old piston ring with a sharp knife. Only then do you get enough space to pry off the cap on the top without causing too much damage. It is soft meta ... |

| I bought and fitted this kit from these same guys. Works fine, and their videos are very useful, in combination with the wiki help on here… Getting the ring off the piston was probably the biggest dif ... |

 And I thought Discoveries had issues...
If it's any consolation I have been running a '59 VSE which has been pretty much faultless - now at 71k and I love it as much as when I bought it. It ... |

| Well, the FFRR is back on the drive, new tow bar assembly and a re-sprayed bumper. Can't begin to describe how happy I am to get the Rangie back - I was less than enamoured with the hire car I was giv ... |

Jaguar finally unveiled the F-Pace today. I must say, I rather like it, and quite competitively priced too.
It took me ages to find the tow ... |

How many times has the tow ball taken a whack by someone in a car park without you being aware of it?
Never, I'd suggest, given the lack of witness marks on the plastic cover. |

| The severity of damage reduces by a certain factor the further you get from the point of impact. My logic being the tow bar itself, FUBAR'd, the receiver damaged, the cross member 'sprained'. I'm sure ... |

| Thanks for the tips, chaps - it's in the hands of the insurers at the mo, they are happy it's a 'no fault' incident on my part. I will keep you all updated as to the progress! |

So there I was, sat quietly in a queue of traffic when I get an almighty great shunt up the rear, enough to need the head rest!
