Damn Ford garage !

Not so .. they replaced

and did a brake fuild change.

Admitedly, the air filter and oil filter would'nt have caused it - so it was pretty clear I though that it had to relate to the ing leads or plugs.

Just supprised as to how much of an effect doing such a "slight mistake" could have such a dramatic effect on the car. But thats my lack of knowledge of engines coming out :)

Still .. kinda irrelevant today. Driving to work and hit a bloody mud jack or whatever they are called, and smashed all the front bumper, rad oil cooler etc in. When will this ever end :o(

The message from Andy M Jenkins contains these words:

I have it on good authority they taste nice if you know how to prepare them.

The wife said that. "Why didnt you bring it home? Venison is expensive"

Aye .. so's my bill for the car as the picture tesifies.

Rad oil cooler is about 46 squids to buy. A real bugger to fit mind as it looks like that it is the first thing fitted when the car is built. If you need to know how, just shout.

"That'll buff right out Sir".

I'd personally be tempted to try and fix it with some glass fibre matting & resin on the back, sand the bit in the middle.

OTOH, if it's an insurance job, who cares?
