World's smollest trailer there, nearly.

Nah, this one takes that title Cannot see it at all when towing it behind the Aldi - was slightly better with the Astra with the roof down.

Added a gammon sticker in case I decide to take the trailer on a booze cruise

Been trying to fix the air con on and off for a while now.
Condenser was utterly shot so I replaced it.
Had it gassed up afterwards and although it held gas with no leaks, the compressor wouldn’t fire up.
Fault code stored for high pressure sensor open or short to plus. Replaced it with a £17 Amazon one to no avail.
Inspected the wiring loom and couldn’t find anything untoward with it, so fitted a £42 Mahle OE quality sensor and it’s ICE COLD now!
Don’t buy cheap unbranded sensors, kids. I’m getting properly bored of removing and refitting the front bumper.

I thought you removed it by smashing it into a high kerb.
How could anyone get bored of that?
Re: How to win friends and influence people: 2005 (55) Audi A8 3.0 TDi
Wasn’t anything near as exciting as that - I parked with the front end over a high kerb and when the air suspension settled after turning the ignition off it must’ve caught on it. Was a very efficient way of removing it though!
Been thinking about putting some quick release buckles on it given it’s off so bloody often!

Cheap sensors bought on the internet are a false economy. My mate bought TWO Range Rover ride height sensors, neither worked. One genuine sensor and 40+ diagnostic hours later..
