that was knocked up in 5 mins, about an hour before i left for another drive to portugal, it's bolted to the inner wing/wheel arch using an existing nut, it's there to take 'ford's' petrol or 2nd battery tray, if yours is untouched it 'should' have a plastic sleeve in it, to protect the thread, have a look up into the wheel arch, above the wheel

Thanks thrud

Right, more bad news, female toyota drivers are all F***ing useless




i was turning right off a main road with nothing in front of me and nothing coming towards me, she was waiting to turn right onto the main road, with her nose sticking out, as i turned in she pulled out and collected me about 18" in front of the rear wheel, she then pushed the rear of the van about 2 foot across the road(side ways skid marks could be seen), until her car pushed passed the back of the van and across the road into the metal railings on the other side of the road her car is is messed up at the front and all down the drivers side, and her passenger says i hit her

is it a total loss??
