Hello guys,

Sorry I've not been on for a while.  It's just that I've had a lot on my plate lately, so really stressed out.  Anyway, I've only gone and smacked the front-offside corner of the ford galaxy.  Luckily the damage was less on mine, whereas the other guy's front door went totally in.

I'm going to get mine into a garage to check out what damage, but from the looks of it, the bumper, grill & fog/spot lights and parking sensors are definately damaged.

That's crap luck hope it all gets sorted and looking all good again.


It's just a metal box though main thing is no one is hurt. (Hopefully anyway)

Thanks johnny. Fortunately no one is hurt  I just can't believe the amount of things that are going wrong.  I spent ages figuring out how to install parking sensors, replacing cam sensor, brake calipers and trying to diagnose the turbo issues and when finally the mpv is working to a decent standard, it ends up getting damaged.

Never mind...like you said it's only a metal box.  :)

Sorry to hear, at least nobody hurt.

Should you happen to need a replacement front bumper I've got one here that I need to sell, consequently I'd want very little for it. Trouble is, you're a long way from me and they're very difficult to package up in a satisfactory way to send via courier!

Changed my cam sensor last Thursday and seems to have cured my starting problems.
Clipped mirrors with a van over the weekend, broke their casing but ripped mine off and left

Stuck back on with a bonding sealant and gaffa tape for now. :P

Which side mirror was it? I've probably got bits to make up a usable drivers side mirror.
