Hit a ridiculously tall speedbump at around 10mph and lost a headlight washer jet cover :headbang: bumper came off the o/s mount too. Fortunately, the mounts aren't broken, but I now need to buy a new cover and get it painted.

What a complete waste of time, considering I was only visiting the car park to return an item to a shop, which was £18 :x

A new cover is £23 on eBay, before the cost of spray paint.

Fixed, used the X8R kit. the old one was useless. completely worn drive mechanism.

Idles nicer.

Next, fix the passenger window regulator. Already have the kit, lack the courage.
