My old Ford EF Falcon wagon is at the doctors ATM having a reconditioned head, steering rack and new front struts installed just so I can get several more years out of it as I plan on doing a bit of traveling over this country in the coming years.

Cheers.

Sorry to hear, Uli. I hope your insurance pays you well enough to get a good replacement vehicle.

in all likelihood the clips holding the box that holds the switches have broken. these are fairly easy to replace. I recommend Rockauto for replacement parts. they have quite an extensive inventory.


/edit Oh and the silly little retainers that hold the door panel on tend to work poorly after you've pulled them out. You can easily find replacements at your local auto parts store for a few bucks

Sorry for that happening Uli. I hope they catch the rotten punks and give them more than a slap on the wrist.

Well that's nasty. I hope you get a good payout from your insurance, and that the creeps are locked up for a good long while.

I wanted to change the title, but it seem I can't find the button.
The insurance adjuster will be out tomorrow. Got a call in to the Sheriff to find out if it can be towed away.
I will post some pic later.
Thank you all for your concerns.
It was a very nice Rig and I am sure it would have given me many more years of service.

Just got of the phone with the Sheriff. They don't believe it was Arson, as they didn't find any Gasoline on the Engine.
They won't persue it, unless the perp cops to it.
Very strange.
I guess in the other cases, they forced entry (mine was unlocked) and left notes, HAHA or something like that.

After you've done a "post to thread" hit the "edit" button and you should then be able to edited the title Uli. ;-)

Cheers.

I think I tried that. Memory a bit fuzzy as I was raising a toast to John.

Now that's very strange as I just tried it myself with 1 of my threads and it didn't work. :-(

I wonder if some software upgrades were done before the late outage today which may have caused that.

But with another thread it did work, I wonder what is going on.

P.S. Sorry but I was never curly or blonde that far back. ;-)

Cheers.

I don't even go back 50 years. It will be 47 next Tuesday.

I've always been straight brown, now with increasing gray and thinning on top.

I prograstinated on fixing this and now the truck is toast.
Got a loud knock on the door at 1:30 AM. Fire Dept, your truck is on fire.
It was contained to the engine dept, of course a total loss.
Six other suspicious vehicle fires where reported. Three within four blocks and about the same time.
99% sure I am a victim of an Arsenist.
The Sheriffs were canvasing neighbor hood gas stations and think they have a suspect.
Not confirmed, but most likely gasoline was the exellerant and then a blow torch was used. The latter info was given to me by my claims adjuster.

Now of to Rocky's.

I feel your pain.

Earlier this month, my 99 outback was totaled...
