Uh oh...do you have a Focus? Two of my kids have, and yes, a PIA. Hold your mouth right, purse the lips and wink at ya neighbours 80 year old mother, you might get the stupid thing back in, after you change the globe. Somehow, the light assembly just seems to slip back in accidentally.

One of the worst jobs I ever had and I have had a few. I was a Car detailer for a Company who used to get Repossessed Cars and get them detailed then of course sell them.

Some of the cars where disgusting, that goes for inside and outside I am very lucky I didn't catch any kind of disease. If some of the cars that people have owned are like a rubbish tip inside the car what's there house like?

Yep! The Fiesta is even worse though.

I took my car in to get serviced and one of the headlight globes was blown so I'm like yeah just change it over in the service.

Get the car back, can instantly notice the new headlight globe isn't in the assembly correctly, the beam pattern was off as the globe wasn't sitting at the focal point

So had to pull the assembly from the car at home, in the street in the dark and sort it out, sort of defeats the purpose, I reckon they tried to put the globe in with the headlight assembly in the car still

Rust repairs.

For me it's actually starting any job. I don't think I dislike any job in particular, but I do not like the phase when I know I've got to do something and getting the motivation to do it.

I even enjoyed the rear bush replacements in the rear of the SZ Territory!

Agreed! Struggling to "get in the zone" when you're inclined to perfectionism, sucks.
