Went to halfords, bought some wheel chocks.

Placed behind rear wheels and took handbrake off to stop brakes ceasing / freezing and put less strain on handbrake as I live on a hill.


Mike,
just in case some scum decide to" have a laugh" and pull them out, make sure you turn your steering into the kerb. :happy2:

Regards,
John

Standard hill practice  :happy2:

Pretty safe location, living amongst the heirarchy of the Royal Engineers & routine security patrols  :smiley:

Sensible suggestion though cheers John

I picked my car up last night after having the injectors and loom changed.

I have heard that TL Darby are doin a lot of these lately.

I think they are. Overheard a couple of conversations from customers whilst in there and heard injectors mentioned. Tbh I can't fault their service. Had abit of a fight with VWCS beforehand though.
