Well what a day,

MOT - Passed - result  - well of sorts,  what it didnt find is the cause of a knock i have from the NSF strut / leg but hey, a pass with no advisories all the same .  :cool:

then it was home to play musical bumpers

 front done no bother, looking good even if i couldnt get the in bumper lights to work .  Summat to address later.  :smiley:

Rear came off easily enough apart from getting covered in 19 years worth of crud .   Got the replacement with the VERY HEAVY towbar in place and lined up and the bolts just in loose.  Then it started to go wrong.  :lipsrsealed:

For those that dont know, the bolts that hold the assembly on go horizontal from in the boot wells into fully enclosed chambers into captive nutz on the assembly itself . ( yes - you can see where its going )  2 bolts per side, just using a rachet ring spanner and i get a feeling that we dont seem to be getting anywhere.  I know i will try one on the other side . AT NO POINT was excessive force required.  But yes, the Bolts were just spinning, the nutz had made a break for freedom, and I know had a bolt either side with NO WAY  whatsoever to get at the Nutz.  :cry:

And yes, the bumper was flopping about like a big floppy thing .

Thankfully, after some Chuffmeistering, the bolts and now removed, the old bumpers removed and the old girl is back to her original glory . 4 hours wasted - but hey ho, she's got 12 months ticket  :grin:
