No idea... It's in the garage getting some work done to it to make it completely stupid to drive.

swept boot (estate)

cam belt,  aux drive belt, drive belt tensioner,  new seal arrangement on crank sensor. , oil change and coolant....

(courtesy of James.....    BTW.....  who discovered my existing belt was 1 tooth or so out while in the process of doing it....       and yes my tensioner on the drive belt was lunched....     all running much smoother now....   and we think we may have solved the oil leak.....   ,  although time will tell.....   ,  can;t wait to be able to drive it  (need to swap insurance over,   from one of the other cars.... get new rear tyres, and the MOT is due on the 5th )

Accidentally put it very sideways coming off a roundabout, which made the heart flutter. Thats what those 2 orange lights on the dash mean then...

Would it be fair to suggest that if the TC and ABS lights are both on then the system most definitely off

Sat in the shed modifying some projector lights that i found in a scrap car

I think those lights mean "reverting to the organic ESP device if you drive like a twonk"

You mean the 'Whilst sliding sideways towards the bend with all four wheeks locked, I couldn't help but notice that some poo had escaped' school of motoring

The (only) advantage of wipe-down leather .  Although, seepage is impossible when in that fully clenched mode...

Navigated up and down the A38/A303 in torrential rain.

Proved beyond doubt that the 'rain sensitive wipers' aren't particularly rain sensitive

Four new tyres fitted this morning

Got the car sprayed with gravel this afternoon Now needs a new screen, wing, bonnet and A post repairing

Fortunately the driver of the formerly fully loaded gravel truck eventually noticed and stopped, leaving mile long gravel trail and a queue of rather annoyed people. And having seen and photographed the tailgate of the truck in the presence of the police I am amazed it hadn't opened sooner. Both side dogs were missing and only 1-2 mm of the lower latches were actually holding the tailgate closed. It had been open when the truck passed me, wnd had since been closed. Would only take a jolt to pop the latches

New screen coming on Tuesday, body work getting sorted once liability is accepted...

Guesstimate for the body work is £475

Sorry to hear that Al, you did mention it mid sentence and I meant to ask, but the conversation moved on.

Hope it gets sorted.

Worst case it will be written off
