Is my V8S supposed to have a driver's side sun visor? Driving home yesterday I couldn't see a thing, so had to go for a southward and eastward blat waiting for the sun to set...

There are two studs like those on the passenger side - is there a way of detaching the passenger visor and putting it on the driver's side?

Is there anywhere I can get a replacement so I don't have to swap?

Thanks for any help.

Trust me on this,the sun visors on the "S" are useless, better of with a cap and sunglasses

Still... I'd like to get one fitted. Any ideas? The passenger one seems alright. What do you mean by useless ?

A tweed one and matching jacket with leather elbow patches and some lovely leather driving gloves and perhaps a cashmere scarf?

Don't forget your smoking pipe and shag ("shag" as in fine cut tobacco).

Mine has a sun visor fitted on each side. Only get used about once in a blue moon though.

Just a friendly leg pull, you have to choose your phrases carefully here as I well know!

Many thanks for your kind offer of a lift to the sunday meet, I would like to say "yes" (more than you know) but Mrs KS2 has me lined up now to sort out more of our recently purchased crap decor! As I said, I'd love to say yes and leave that behind me for a day but I'm not so sure that the KS2 des res will be filled with the marital warmth and harmony as would normally be customary if I brake my promise to paint something!

Thanks tho Colin, that is very kind and much appreciated.

Sorry in that context I should have said "break" and not "brake".

Oh my god, I'm turning into a real petrol head

Graham, I thought the drivers side sun visor was kicking around in the boot somewhere! One of the previous owners removed it as it kept drooping (oo-er ) when driving over bumps.

Have a rummage behind the spare wheel. If it isn't there drop me a line and I'll see if I've got it in the garage somewhere.

Ah, so you are still alive then. You've been a bit quiet lately, ol' chap.

Doh! Thanks for the tip-off, mate. I had a casual look in the boot but I will get everything out tonight. I wear glasses and good clip-on sunglasses are difficult to get hold of. I have a pair of prescription sunglasses but I look like a twat (with or without them).

I'm still here! Most of my time is taken up with concentrating hard on not spending the proceeds of the sale on another four wheeled beast....... must finish the house first!!!!
