i know, i remember reading your advice on how to break in the car a few weeks ago :grin:
i looked at the badge and its still there, and nothing in the engine bay is missing or broken or anything. so dont think it was broken into.

i had an RS turbo stolen from my drive locked , alarmed and imobilised , didn't matter when they took the keys from the table inside the house through the letter box

They only got 10 miles away before they put it into a ditch  :evil: that's what 350 BHP through the front wheel's will do if you don't know how to drive  :grin: :grin:

copper's had to get them cut out of the wreckage and they told the police "there is something wrong with that car , it tried to kill us "

after that we all named it Christine   :grin: :grin:

Back to the topic , mines not come up whiule getting out and i got size 13's  :smug: :smug:

The spring retention mechanism on mine isnlt that great, and it has popped open when going over a pothole before. Check that the spring seems nice and, er, springy.
