I love working on my car!

[appletonn]

It's just like a giant meccano kit with everything held on by screws and nice quality clips!

Just replaced the thin dash trim strip on the passenger side. The end of it where it fits under the ventilation control panel was broken when I got the car and so would not sit flush with the adjacent panel. It has been annoying me for ages, so today I went and got a mint s/h one from Porsch-Apart, took out the old one ( thanks Clarkes Garage[]) and ever so carefully fitted the new one.

It now looks miles better.

For an encore, I fitted my new gearknob and gaiter ensemble that I've just received from Prestige Parts and went off to make a coffee feeling a great sense of achievement[]

Love the endless metal screws and fixings that mean you can put everything back together just as easily as it came apart - eeh, simple pleasures.....[8|][]

Know the feeling Nick....! Everything comes apart and goes back as it should... No need to force anything to fit...! No plastic clips to break.

My wifes friend has a '02 Citroen Xsara. It wouldnt start outside her house. She had just come back and the drivers window was down. It showed all the lights etc etc but the window was dead. I went to help and how sorry was I.....[]
I figured it must be the immobiliser and proceded to take the door card off to "persuade" the window motor to work. The door card was a piece of flimsy garbage but I perservered. There were 4 wires to the motor...[&:] Any car ever I seen had two. I went and ran two wires from the battery to the two thickest wires. It banged and sparked....and generally misbehaved........... I put the door card back on and told her to get the local Citroen garage out... They charged her €1200 for an ECU and reprogrammed key... Damn piece of French s**te [:'(]

I told her that I would have got the Porsche sorted myself not that it would have happened anyway...[]
