I have sympathy for anyone hurting their back. I wouldn't have been able to get into the boot to hurt mine [emoji54] [emoji12] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

Cheers guys for the thoughts, I have suffered with it for years, I know where and how it goes, I will be a pain in the harris for about 3 days then grumpy for another 4.
I'm lucky in a way, it is muscle scaring form HighJump/WaterSkiing and one very small sharp piece of African wood

LOL....despite my back I had to get up and let the Chickens out.......so I checked the pipe connector from the boot opening on the way back.................still no leakage so seems like the job is a good-un and I can plate up the access hole and get on with getting the final little details ready for the MoT/Reg/Plate

That's excellent news Sticky!

All the very best with the MOT although having seen the car I'm confident it'll just be a formality....

Hope the chickens are OK, looking forward to some of their produce!

I will feed the Chickens more corn and make them drink Red Bull. :)
I will leave the boot hole open so you can have a good look.

Maybe we could fit the Suspension box ?

I'm banned from drinking Red Bull Sticky :twisted:

Yes, the box is pretty straightforward to fix. Ten minutes should do it... Or, just about the time it takes to have a cup of tea...

When are you planning an MOT?

I won't do that. You don't know what else 'he' is hiding, and if 'he' leaves you will never find it!
