ThreeSheds Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I was removing the xyz switch and I placed the nuts, bolts, and the special dooberry that clamps the shift cable to the change lever, all together in a magnetic parts tray, upside down on the chassis. On my way out from under the car I knocked the tray off, but knowing it was magnetic, I ASSUMED that all the parts were still in it. Two days later and I am refitting the switch and I find that the dooberry is not there! After an hour of searching everywhere I finally gave up for the day (it was getting dark) and thought that I would pop out later with a powerful torch to look for it (grazing light is good for showing up things). So I took the dog for a walk and, on returning in pretty much darkness, I walked straight up to the car and saw it on the ground... It is by no means the first time that I have found precious things that were lost. I wonder if I have a talent for it or if I am just plain lucky 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Was probably in your pocket, and fell out as you rolled out from under the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
