Took to this with the upholstery foam tonight and cleared the big greasy bollock patch off the drivers seat that the previous dirty sod left behind.

Mirror cover landed and managed to pair the sat nav remote too. Anyone know about SD cards for these old built in TomTom things? It has UK Eire but I could do with frog maps too.

Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

Too good to be true etc, spare tyre has a slow puncture and the jack is missing. Always good to spot these things before you get a puncture. Great.

In other news I welded the back door security lock back together and replaced the clown car door handle on the rear so it doesn’t now fall off in your hand for a laugh every time I open it.

Also half the dash pulled so I can add a few usb charge points etc.

Have you checked you can undo the wheel nuts with the supplied brace?
Not a left hand thread on the passenger side is it?

I’ve swapped the new tyres to the rear axle. 2 more due on Friday. I like recent tyres when I’m going to do a few miles.

I normally carry a decent bottle Jack, got more chance of lifting it with a load on board.

I agree with dodge. Halfords bottle jack strapped to the back of passenger seat. New sprinters I had around 65 plate had a standard bottle jack if I recall
