..............or, if you like, we could go together to pick it up WITH all the necessary parts, and if it requires fixing on the way back so be it! We'll work on the car in a layby if necessary! ;) ;)   It wouldn't be the first car I've fixed at the side of the road!! ::) ::)
Thats an extremly tempting offer but wouldn't be ble to get the parts here by Monday which is when he needs the car gone by  :'(


Are you a gambler then Del? :D :D ;) ;) ;)  Would you be prepared to risk driving it back with an escort? ;)

How certain are you it is really the HG?

Well all I can say is we can give it a try, taking our tools and water to do whatever is necessary.  It is always a gamble though ;) ;)

Well that's good, all motorway then where, God willing and the right time of day, you can keep a good airflow going over the engine doing a steady 50. ;) ;)
