It is, mate.

All to do with hazardous areas and corresponding electrical equipment, like intrinsically safe circuits and equipment protection levels.

Words are done now, but the practical assessments start tomorrow and Thursday, then a 60 question computer test on Friday. :-/

Low pass rate and some of the guys on the course failed it before.

Not too confident, but won't find out if I pass or fail for another two weeks.

Hope it all goes well Gary , it was like that when I worked for stagecoach you had too pass youre cpc or you were out of work even though some people had been driving buses for 20 30 years didn't matter. The module 4 is easy but the cpc is a right needless pain.

The thing is, we don't really do too much intrinsically safe work.
Comes in handy if I go elsewhere for a job though.

Got back from Teeside tonight and had received the replacement headlight from Alex121 - cheers Alex.
I think the other glass lens from Kieran is at the Royal Mail office, as there was a card left by them today.
I can get the headlight rebuilt tomorrow, using the lateral adjuster from my old light and Kieran's lens, ready for fitting at the garage, when the bumper comes off for painting.

One thing I forgot was the headlight wiper arm got wrecked too.

Does anyone have a driver's side arm looking for a new home?

PS
I also need a headlight wiper motor too!
