I will stick at it, I'd loose too much money by jacking it in and selling it :wink:

In a slightly more positive update I managed to fix my rear washer which had been broken since I bought the car :smiley:

Turns out the pipe had come apart behind the C-Pillar trim, I even managed to only break 1 clip whilst removing the trim :cool:

Yeah, he said if he had it for a couple of days he'd find the fault problem is I need the car for work.

The actuators aren't expensive but from what I've read it can be a pig of a job to change :undecided:

PM heading your way shortly :wink:

So like a few others have done over the last couple of days I decided to sit down with a bank statement and work out what I've spent on the car so far....maybe I shouldn't have :lipsrsealed:

I'm not going to list it all, but excluding the cost of the car, fuel and insurance since the 9th June I have spent £1299 on parts & mods :shocked:

Thats over £85 a week :shocked:
