When i bought the car way back in 2013, the sales man told me it wanted a new battery. Well it’s getting a new battery now (29th january 2024). Okay, he never said when, I wish he’d told me the lottery numbers really, that would have been more impressive. the battery wasn’t brilliant and didn’t hold charge very well, but it wasn’t bad enough to make me want to replace it, until now.
The grab handle over the off side rear door had broken and apparently come away from the car body. It transpired that only one side of the handle had a screw fastening it up the body, the other side was just there out of curtesy. So when it was used, it broke. Taking it apart I found that the little pin that carries the load was only plastic, so I made a new one from a metal screw. I also found another similar self tapping screw to fasten it to the car in both locations as it should have been.
I went on a work related trip to Australia in mid January. It was just a short trip to meet colleagues and visit a project site. I had great fun and enjoyed meeting the people and seeing the mine site. These pictrues start out in Sydney, then jump to Kalgoorlie, Kambalda and then to Perth, that was my trip in a nut shell.
