Wondered why the heater wasn't working .. noticed the outside temperature display now reads 'F ºC' - I'm sure it was working last night when I parked up  ::)

Another job on the really long list. The list that's rapidly becoming "The list of reasons I want to replace my damn car."
Drive it down here, I'll give you £50 and a lift home. Then in the spring, I'll sell it back to you for about £600 with unbroken bits attached and a fresh MoT :y

Although I changed the oil a few months back it was with a branded but cheapish 10w40 oil so purchased a new filter and some vauxhall 10w-40 ready for the forthcoming winter months.
