part nicked

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

part nicked

Post by glasgowjim » Sun Dec 23, 2007 11:19 pm

Went to drop my son off in town in the little polo diesel noticed the left hand indicator was flashing at twice the usual rate put it down to a broken indicator bulb . As son has been using the car for the last 10 days. Turned out some barstward has nicked the the complete front NS indicator.

not in a good mood :angry:

No this one was removed as nice as you like with absolutely no damage otherwise wiring was aok . The indicator lens pops out when you stick you hand up under the bumper and release the sprung catch. Defo a "thats a handy spare there". Need to add the part was only a few weeks old so was still that shiny gleamy way.

Just as well that peter didnt notice as he has red hair and the temperment to match.

oh merry christmas Joolz

ps someone in england recently was trying to sell a seat belt roller on EBAy for 1penny + £1.50 postage.

If I knew when it was going to happen I would have been waiting for the barsteward.

I remember hearing a car with noisy exhaust driving by slowly one night. Then it came again and stopped. I looked out and there was one kid trying to get into my Subaru Alcyone VR, he was probably confused how the locks work... LOL! anyways before he even managed to get any further he had a 12guage on one side an another dude with a baseball bat on the other.

He left in an awful hurry :rofl:
