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]

Re: shortly to become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva
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

Re: shortly to become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva
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

Re: shortly to become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva
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!

Re: shortly to become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva
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
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?

Re: shortly to become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva
Dry as a Bone....at last 

a few areas to paint and shultz before putting on the modified spare wheel carrier (to stop it rubbing on the activa ram gaiter)
the way in is blocked, rubber seal

Where ?

I will get some edging slipped and glued on.
Spoiler is back on after repair....been a little creative but I hope low key

(Just noticed, the boot close line needs dropping a few mm .....)

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