Good to see you have some positive news @Grumpy at last. Congrats on the passTaken the old pipe smoker for MOT this morning and it's passed with a couple of advisories. Handbrake not great, couple of brake pipes and bit of sill corrosion on one side. Made my bloody day after the crap were having with Jues car at the moment.

If the condensation is minor @ Shelly you can try pulling the bulbs from the rear and holding a hair dryer aimed at the bulb hole to dry it!! Make it a real hair dressers car! Hope it works!! JIM
Thanks mate. Yep we've ran around in it this afternoon and it's not to bad to be honest. I'll use it for work as soon as we've got Jues car sorted. Until then she's using it and I'm in the zed.
Worked out ok then eh for now,at least you both have some transport and you never know the 75 might grow on you.......trouble is you can't get many bales of hay/straw in the boot.
Steve
It aint handy mate but it wasn't bought for Jue to use. We have just managed to get the dog cage on the back seat and pin it in place with the passenger seat lol! Dogs looked a little perplexed bless em!!!
I didn't realise you don't have the land rover any more mate,did it kick the bucket ?
Steve
No mate we replaced it with the Sorento. Bad mistake that was.!
Oopsy
The Sorento did seem a good buy at first though,a real shame it's turned out this way. Makes you wonder if the previous owner had these problems and masked them to shift it on.
It's usually me that buys the basket cases

I've
l've learnt that when it comes to vehicles that the past is gone and move on with what you have. Either fix it or move it. We've all got regrets about something we've sold and replaced but look to the future and don't dwell, you did what you did for a particular reason, didn't work out so don't dwell! Good luck! JIM
Moisture is getting into it
Probably got a stone chip in the glass, on the big old head lights on the old Merc's, as a temp repair, we would stick a match stick in the hole.
Did it pass the mot with moisture in the headlamp Shelly?
Yes ........
I did ask about it when I'd got the pass mot papers in my hand lol
He said he'd got a machine and it was quite visible light coming through
But it just don't look very nice
Think he's looked after you there Shelly. A certain person may come and bite my arse but I thought it affected your light beam meaning a fail. Could be wrong of course......probably am!
How old are you HT? Does anyone even use matchsticks anymore?? lol
We used to buy a box as we could not fit a Zippo in the hole....
