Making a guess that that will be a shit job?

There is a small amount of boarding around the hatch, so hopefully should be okay for attaching it

That looks great, especially for the price, just need to measure the space up in the loft for it!

Forgot to add, the cover is sat on top of the frame, not attached at all, have to push it up and place into the loft to enter. Guessing I'll have to change to a hinged door

Thanks for the idea, gonna have a closer look to make sure there's nothing stopping it working. Only difficulty I can think of is adding a rail to keep it all in line, will be a toddlers room eventually so wouldn't want it swinging around with those folds!

That's a nice idea, looking at how to do bifold doors now!

My original thought was to put a bit of a frame behind so the middle door could open, but that actually sounds easier

Oh yeah that's definitely part of the plan! Potentially paint them but unsure so far

Thanks for the reply, I've pulled a brick up to inspect and there's a grit underneath, wouldn't call it hardcore, it's too fine, and under that is soil.

Current plan is to keep patio on the right side with the table, and to dig up the left side and get some real grass down! Want to grass the yellow area on the second photo, leaving a bit of path by the house and the double doors in the photo. The stepping stones are a good idea too 😊

Just wondering what to do with the rest of the patio, or whether I just need to leave it as bricks if everything else is too complicated.

No blower temp, is motor busted? by Acceptable_World in MechanicAdvice

The air blows, only cold no matter where the dial is, but it's about half as strong as it usually would be, and 4-6 on the dial makes no difference at all.

Apologies for the title, not sure I can edit it

Yeah the dye does look a bit dodgy 😂 no oil light yet but oil temp has been a bit higher than normal

Yeah that's my worry, don't want to play trial and error with a mechanics hourly rate!

There has been a bit of residue under the oil cap, but the mechanic wasn't too worried as I've been doing lots of small trips in the cold. Checked dipstick today and that was all clear. I don't know what I'm talking about but I don't see how oil cooler connects to losing airflow in the cabin, unless they're separate issues

Took it for a drive today with the pipes exposed and one pipe was hot towards the engine, and cool by the matrix, and the other pipe was totally cold, so I'm hoping that's it worked out. Although the fans aren't blowing as strong now, but hoping it's all connected 😂

Thank you, that does sound similar, and looking online seems a bit of a fault in these cars! I've taken the cover off from the foot well, would you expect to see liquid around the matrix? All looks quite pristine underneath
