Passenger side window decided not to work any more, thought I'd pop the door card off to see if it just needed adjusting (glass was moving a bit, but then sticking) Door card off, established that it was the motor ... Decided I couldn't be bothered to deal with it and threw the car back in the garage in a bit of a temper.
So from having a nice few days off to chill out before bridesmaid duties at best friends wedding on Saturday - I now have to source and fit a new window motor, and...:oops: ... a new door card in order for Wriggly to be appropriate bridesmaid transportation on the day!!

Moral of the tale, if you decided to have a strop and put the car away at high speed - make sure you move the doorcard out of the line of fire first!!:cus:

ouch! not good, sounds like me, a few years ago was adjusting the chain on my old bike when the spanner slipped of the nut taking my knuckles off, in temper slapped the seat putting the spanner through the seat! not good especially the next day when it'd rained whilst at work and ended up with a very wet bum on the way home.

I think the door card may be ok - I've kicked it back into shape and it looks ok! Would have been a pain if it had been a goner - my door cards are uniquely modified - so would have had to replace both!!
