Bloody wedge .... Feck Arse Feck Feck Feck
Discussion
tvrsrule.... with all due respect, go and **** yourself 
There is a certain Wedgasperation that you suffer from time to time: you see, owning a Wedge is like making love to a beautiful woman... well OK, no it's not, it's more like being ar5e-raped by an Orang-Utan wearing a cheese-grater for a condom, but you get my gist. Or maybe not, but it doesn't alter the fact that Wedge ownership is a bit like a quiz show: all the answers are out there, but instead of them giving you money, YOU pay THEM. Well... sort of. What I mean to say is, unless and until you have a BIG BAD WEDGE (aka 4-wheeled money-sponge), you can't possibly know the bittersweet love that is Tasmin, in all her many forms.
You'll do ANYTHING for her, for the sake of the good days.
Hang on, this is starting to remind me of being married... well, OK, I used to wear a cheese-grater and... but I digress.
Take my front light as an example: there was absolutely NO justification for the big mucky hand of fate to point at my car and go 'Ner-ner-ne-ner-ner', but it did, and now I have to fork out money that I would rather spend on petrol, driving it. I believe the expression rhymes with 'clucking bell', as the esteemed Mr. Blackadder once quoth.
I seem to be in need of alcoholic reinfusion.... in the words of Arnie... 'I'll be back'....

Wedgie's summed it up really -- I count myself lucky that the first time the engines (really) has to come out is for the up-coming 'box rebuilt. The time before, the problem turned out to be the diff' 
Don't be put off, just take one for a test drive & you'll understand why we all love 'em.
They ain't quiet

Face off unit when you speed off after forgetting you put it on the roof to unlock the car.

Just about everything fell off mine, bonnet, boot, doors, bumpers, sills, roof, the interior, feul pump, alternator, rocker covers, radiator, all the hoses, clutch and brake cylinders, wheels, battery, headlights etc. etc....
Bizzare really, I just removed a few bolts and it happened shortly after that !?!@?!

I wish! Seems to be taking a bit longer than I thought, It doesn't help that I'm having to work as much overtime as I can get to pay for all the bits.
Good news is that I'm running out of things to replace now so saving for the respray can begin.
