today  i fitted the battery blanket...supplied by  ( elite pete  cheers matey )  noticed that the battery clamp was not holding battery in at all...so after some plus gas and brute force undone the bolt refitted clamp smeared copper slip on the thread making it easier next time.disconnected air bag and turned steering wheel back one spline to put it strtaight.......so annoying driving like that...checked oil..water...winscreen washer  water....and lights and tyre pressures.....just little jobs but gives me great satisfaction to know that is all ok.....

i was a smoker......however all of us have the right of freedom of speech.....look what it did with maggie thatcher and the poll tax.....whatever your views on that subject was....people power made her back down.......now then i do not for one minute suggest riots or rebellion but why cant we all voice our opinion in the correct why and have things like this discussed sensibly and then the majority wins...now thats fair and just isnt it folks.....oh and by the way i am with all you smokers all the way..so put my name down against the ban
