Around The World In 80 Waves

The little green surf machine had coped well with having a full compliment of passengers on its test run to the volcano and back, but there were a few little niggly things which were still playing up, so I spent most of the day to day sorting these out and giving the car a thorough clean.

One issue which has bugged me since buying the car was the electric window switch on the drivers door.  The entire switch was hanging out of the door panel because it had been broken by the previous owner. I did a quick run down to the VW dealership in town and bought a new housing for the switches confident that I could install it myself. However upon my return to the residence I discovered that my tools were too fat for the job, so had to borrow some of Her Majesty’s cutlery because the knives could slide into the space and undo the clipped in switches.

It wasn’t difficult to address using the silver cutlery and the window switch is now seated in the panel and working perfectly. I hope Her Majesty doesn’t mind.
