The boot lock I wasn't aware of. Back then I had bought a new lock for the W12, and no it was not for free. Thank you!

I did not tell MJ about the "minor" things (=the things that don't keep me from driving, thought I had so set priorities) as I did not want to bother her. I would've been more than happy with the new engine. But now she is in my car like a drug sniffer dog finding everything that is not as it is supposed to be.

Solving the electronic things is an extra I would've never thought possible.

Mending (not: replacing) the lock of the trunk lid is incredible! I mean, who has the skills and the patience to take a lock to bits and afterwards build it together the way it's meant to be?

The hinge is a lovely extra.

The welding is from my point of view a truly happy coincidence, as is the nasty clutch hose (but the fact that another clutch hose was available is still almost untrue).

Now she has found the tyre pressure control doesn't do its job which technically means my car isn't properly insured anymore as that makes the operating licence expire because of the runflat tyres. I had always believed the big yellow OK means the tyre pressure is fine...
