I am really frustrated with both my F's, the VVC has had hundreds spent on upgrading to TF suspension not to mention the time it took but I can't get it through the emissions due to the fuelling not switching properly on the high idle test, the 1.8i seems to have seized, I suspect in weeping inlet gasket has allowed coolant into the cylinders as the car is parked on quite a slope and now it won't turn over.

Get an engine, put it in the one for the mot, then swap it out... ?

I jump started a customers car the other day... Using a Jump Pack (battery pack) I put the Red Jump Lead on the Red terminal on the battery and the Black Jump lead on the Black terminal of the battery - Something I have done hundreds of times before with different cars.

This time however I blew multiple fuses, destroyed the sunroof motor and fried the ATC panel.

Turns out on *THIS* car, Red = Negative and Black = Positive.

So... now spending my free time cleaning that mess up ready for the customer to collect next week!
