I have been planing to remove an old nut and bolt on the bulk head and replace it with polished s/steel . Looked an easy job ( Ist mistake ) . Out into the garage my arms are not long enough to reach my legs not long enough to help me lean over . Next plan put my arms in under the pipes , I need rubber arms and two flexi wrists . ideashout of swmbo can you give me a hand love love ( grovel ) you hold the spanner under there I will turn the bolt . If the cophad come we would have got locked up the position we got into .Lets try another way , long time since I heard swmbo say that . I was thinking wish I had never bloody started . Ah at last it twisted my little legs at full streach over the wing and off the nut came Hurray now just pull out the bolt Job done . In for tea I was in a win mood as I rushed back out to put the new one in . I shoved the bolt in but could not find the hole in the clutch bracket to attach it to , I could feel it but not see it . Shout again for swmbo love ( 2nd grovel ) can you get under the mog and shine a torch up that hole so I can see it . She put a large flat light under the clutch and it lit up . Now more of the position bit and both of us laughing or should I say bloody laughing my left hand has a nice cut in one of the fingers . So thank goodness I am not a royal as my red blood blends in with my red mog. Hand under and I got the tiny bit of thread YES dont move till I turn it . swmbo thinks I am a sandwich short of a picnic . But we got it done and she shot into the house.
Now a normal person would call it a day and go in the house . I jumped in the mog to try the clutch turned on the side lights and one of the small dial has been dull for a while . With this new MK dash and dials it has loads more wires so hand up and feel about . After a long feel ( the dash swmbo is in the house ) nono I pulled out the bulb rather blackish , went for my spares and it dropped to bits in my hand . Still have more popped in another now hand behind that dash again and hey presto done . Now switch on the side lights and the garage lights off and shout of swmbo " what now ", "come into the dark garage I want to show you something " . Out she came look love the dash is working , is that all . What else did she think I wanted her for in a dark garage silly women . Jobs done swmbo told me her trousers are marked with dirt off helping me with the mog . Anyone know how to use a washing machine , I only know how to tinker with mogs. thumbs
