| Having meant to do this for every MOT for the last 5 years .... finally swapped the hazard switch out for a new one from JK. The old one's back was lifting off and not making a perfect contact hence you had to twist the knob to get both sides flashing simultaneously. One of those quirks that would raise the MOT tester's eyebrow!! 5 min job. Disconnect the battery before you do a job like this please?! Or at least pull the respective fuses. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer @brazilianvwbay | |

| Noted Tim, I have changed one without unplugging the battery but will follow your good advice should I need to if there is a next time. ________________________________________________________________________________ what is best in life ?

| Not today, but on Friday I drove it to a campsite in South Somerset, used it to host two business meetings, ate some lunch, checked email and did some more work then drove home again. ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| Painted the bumpers. Just intended to be a quick Candy White coat to make them look a little bit better. Turns out the back bumper is a wreck so I will need to get it replaced. The front bumper is in fine condition though. ________________________________________________________________________________ what is best in life ?

| Had a service and mot at brand autos . Another good job ,but we have found out that the ecu is faulty. It appears that this is probably the cause of our recurring lambda sensor problems. We looked on the jk site but they do not list the model we need. Does any one out there in Brazi land know where we can source a replacement for a 2012 -aqua bay? | |

| Moved a huge wardrobe which we had to dismantle first to get in. It was that big. In fact it's so big it's going to stay in the van til we get round to restoring it. | |

| Stan went to Homebase and Sainsbury's (other DIY stores and supermarkets are available) then transported a bed. Lovely day for it. | |

| We went to the Classic Car Hub near Bibury, Glos. The sun was shining and lots of classics turned up. This one was chasing us down the narrow country lanes.
