I always forget that my mums car has a fifth gear... killing it on the motorway... it 
started making a dodgy noise after a while - luckily it stopped.

Anyway, concerning the ggggrrrrrr in the subject, thats from the playing about with 
the interior door handle all this morning - went to the small parts store down the 
road twice and Halfords twice (who by the way have a huge selection of about 4 
different rivets). Bloody rivets!

Well at least now I might be able to take my car to the MOT test place with the 
knowledge that I've done everything I can to prepare it (ha ha! you all know the 
extent of this means checking the washer level...)

And finally I can open the door from the inside without first opening the window - 
rather emabarassing - turning up in a nice car - getting those looks you do (maybe its 
just me) - and then having to wind the window down to open the door! It has been about 
3 months since it broke...

Oh, and who was the lister who said getting that pin out of the window handle was 
difficult? I did it in about a minute with one of those weird torx screwdrivers to 
push it out. Of course it then took me ten minutes of crawling about in the gutter to 
find the damn thing!!! Putting it back in was just a case of using some thin nose 
pliers.



Still buzzing from that "job done" feeling,
