Does anyone have a pile of 'bits and pieces' from a car that they've stripped (or know a car that been broken? - yes I know that's a terrible thing to suggest)?
I'm at the 'every-time-I-look-at-it-something-else-is-missing' stage and its driving me crazy - I've been to my local dealer every day som far, and it all for little stuff mostly. Fixings, seems to have been a major sticking pint to the PO, for some reason they thought they didn't need to put *any* of them back. Which resulted in the rear bumper cowl/cover arrangement falling off at 70mph (honest officer) on my way home they other day. Saved by the Parking sensor wires, I must have towed it down the road for at least a mile or so before ai could pull over and start swearing properly. Note: it makes properly terrible racket when that happens.
I wont bore you with previous discoveries but today's problems alone are a missing main battery fuse case and mounting bracket (its been wrapped in insulating tape and dumped back down behind the battery) and missing Positive battery terminal cover. And they are just the latest ones. I could really do with set of boot carpets that don't have oil soaked into them, some rear wheel arch sound insulation and an external battery box shield. All of which are below par or missing completely. Dont get me wrong, I *will* save this one, but I'm beginning to suspect that I badly need to find a doner car. If anyone knows of one that in half decent nick, I'd be grateful for the owners contact details.
