    I have real trouble with stuff like this so I stay away now.

    As Dave says, every year the accepted parcel size gets smaller and smaller. Used to be able to post family car bumpers for just pounds.

    Drove up myself and picked it up in the wife's Mondeo, only a 540 mile round trip. LOL @ BBC weather crying about how the North Penines were going to have 4 inch blizzards... yeah try barely 1 inch

    Only real issue was a tyre got shredded by a cats eye just as we got onto the M6 to come back, so spent the next ~250 miles at 50mph on the space saver (NOT fun). Oh and a headlight bulb died. And the dials have stopped working today for no apparent reason. Stupid Ford shitbox.

    Took it to Ford to get a radio code, so figured disconnecting the battery was worth a shot. Yay, dials fixed!

    Now the blowers are stuck on full chat. And the nav unit is locked lmfao

    Oh and quote Ford guy: "These don't like the cold - we had two that went up to Scotland and both had the same fault with the dials." So the North Penines was probably a bad idea then? "Yeah"
