Contemplated setting it on fire. The current list of problems are:

1) Severe coolant leak from a stupid pipe under the alternator.
2) Never stops coughing steam out the back, lots of pressure in the water system. Suspecting head gasket.
3) Jerky when crawling again.
4) Sodding drivers airbag quid high resistance error code.
5) The rust is starting to attack the arches but the money I had saved for this is now going on the head gasket.
6) The CD player has finally given up.
7) Getting through 50 litres of LPG in 200 miles at most.
8) Needs a new coolant bottle top - current one sometimes leaks.
9) Still got a knackered shock and spring - waiting for the Koni shocks and Weitec springs to turn up.

Someone show me the light and why Omegas are good again?  :'(

Put the old girl in the garage today for an MOT re-test after failing on Friday, but it,s not bad news as it only failed on a rear coil spring being broke happy days. A big thanks to everyone who has helped me out this past year your advice and guides are worth there weight. :y :y :y

Cleaned all breathers, throttle body, and changed the rocker cover gasket, backed the nut off the drivers electric seat height rod as the bloody thing was jammed in the up position, and hoovered it.
Sorry but it had to be done.

Might be a bit tight as there are nine cars it there at the moment, most of which are in various states of dis-repair

Car back in today for MOT retest and for once good news the rear broken coil spring was not broke after all, garage said once they removed the wheel closer inspection revealed it was OK its rough at the top and that's why they thought it broke. So what that means is she pissed it yahooooo  :y :y :y :y :y :y :y
