Off to Keighley tomorrow for the oil pickup seal change, can't wait. I believe Keighley is in the running for city of culture 2023. I've had a quick look on Google maps and found three supermarkets and sixteen curry houses within 15 minutes of the workshop.
Just got back. New oil pump, pick up and seal, timing belt and water pump, glow plug number 2 and air filter. Said try and keep the revs down and drive below 55mpg for about 500 miles. Yikes!  :o

Better than selling it. :y
Yes, you're right. Cheap jobs at £645 too  :)

He said it would be about 4 hours, so I went to look around Keighley. That took 10 minutes so I jumped the train to Leeds  ;D
