Started fabbing the seat mounts for the Rover Metro seats going into the estate. Opened a new pack of 0.8mm cutting discs, yum yum - but treated them with caution... then tried to work out how to avoid the channels pressed into the floor pan (incompressible air gaps are to be avoided if I want the engineer to sign it off).

No, I got a rear window heater kit of ebay and stuck it over the original heater. A bit fiddly to fit but should work OK.

looked at him, said sorry for snapping a head stud... and went back inside...

Will tend to his snapped stud in the morning, along with a CV inspection, with intent of new CV and bearing for passenger side.

I just wanna drive :(

Matt,
Maybe time to get your torque wrench's calibration checked- some of the cheapo ones are miles out. Ask Aaron... :lol:
