You have a talented lady there.

The air con rad is commonly known as a condenser, IIRC I still have the one from GV51.

My rear lights have a similar tint, the last time they got MOTed in January 2015 they failed after passing 5 tests on GV51 and then FE54 so I now have a MOT only set as well.

I have one from the Red ZS I broke a while back, but no idea how to tell if it is intact or not?

These passed the MOT in November, so should be fine

The one Pete helped you with?

I guess you could get it pressure tested.
When fitting use new O rings.

A few weeks ago I picked up a duel exit exhaust and heat shield, which I have now fitted to the car, I think it looks a lot better with the twin exits now.

Hit a pothole at the side of the road on the way to work this morning while avoiding someone the other side of the road overtaking a tractor, wasn't fast, about 40 in a national country road but it made one almighty bang through the front passenger suspension.

Quite a large Gash in the tyre wall (although not letting air out yet), tracking is out and it feels a bit "woolly" although not pushed the car at all since, literally limped to work and will limp it home again later.

Plan is to look at it over the weekend, strip down the suspension etc and see if anything is broken. In the mean time I will either borrow the missuses car or get her to drop me off to work I think!

Nightmare .... stop by it on the way home and take a picture with something in it to demonstrate depth and report to highways authority. Long shot - but if there is a lot of damage - you might be able to get some compensation.

I made a claim a few years ago for a tyre, and they rejected it because it was just inside their dates for inspections - had it been outside they would have paid up.

Might give that a shot, however it is a country road (Road from Top of Portsdown hill through to Wickham) and the pothole was right on the edge of the road, not something you would normally go near except when dodging bad overtaking maneuvers from the opposite carriageway... Still could be worth a shot.
