Re: What have you done today thread?
Spent the last 25 days painting most of the rooms inside the house. Have to remember second lockdown for doing something! At last I have some time to sit down and catch up on RTTL!

Couple of hours today replacing son no 2's Passat driver's window regulator, exactly 1 week after doing the same for the passenger's one. Can anyone explain why the 2 regulators fail exactly 1 week apart on a 15 year old car? Cables snapped on them both.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Had a message to say that out rescue pup has left Macedonia and is just crossing the border into Bulgaria. All being well with the Eurotunnel (to quote Homer Simpson "...stupid Brexit.") she should arrive in the UK tomorrow evening with about 30 other rescue dogs. We can collect her on Friday after she's had 48 hours in a UK kennel. Ladies and gentlemen of RTTL, meet Zoë.

Sadly none of the UK rescue charities will rehome a dog if you've got kids under a certain age. Rehoming from Malta, Croatia and the Balkans is becoming more and more common.Harry wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 3:16 amBloody foreign dogs coming here and pinching our ownersderek badger wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 5:23 pm Had a message to say that out rescue pup has left Macedonia...

Re: What have you done today thread?
Yea, and it's a good one. The reason is they don't want to deal with returned animals when a family decides the dog doesn't get on with kids. However, you can go straight to a breeder and buy a puppy with no restrictions. We were lucky and managed to get a 4 month old pup that has been kept with its mum and three siblings since birth so where shouldn't be any unknown behavioural issues. The bonus being we're giving a dog a home that would otherwise be roaming the streets.Harry wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:37 pmThere is probably a reason for that.derek badger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 6:27 am

Why take a chance, do it in front of the dog and tell him that he's next if he gets bitey.derek badger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 2:00 pmIt could work, I suppose I've got two other kids...Harry wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:56 pmPersonally I wouldn't take a chance, shoot it in the face, it's the kindest thing to doderek badger wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:43 pm

As said before, what's needed is a winch (hooked up to the chassis and the tree in front. Not complicated).
