    Kerb crawling
    Hello again

    I might suggest that you find a high kerb in a quiet cul-de-sac and bounce the front wheels up onto it for a few extra inches of ground clearance when you crawl under. Put a brick or something behind a back wheel, handbrake on and leave it in gear – that would be a lot safer than a jack anyway. You should be able to locate the stub of the table fitting with reference to the inside and the light of a good torch. It’s probably just held by age and possibly a bit of sealant, so a blunt screwdriver carefully tapped underneath the lip and pried around would do the trick – but it’s wise to check first.

    Yes, I was having real trouble getting parts for the Midi’s almost 10 years ago – Vauxhall were useless and even scrapyards used to say they hadn’t seen one in ages…

    Good luck
