Hi everyone......

Just a quick message to say hi again after quite a long stint away. Unfortunately this job takes me away to the arse end of nowhere a lot of the time where i don't get a mobile reception let alone the internet.

Anyway good to be back on and thanks Phate and Mick for the PM's i've just read. Had a couple of problems with the car as well. Flat battery and 2 shagged pencil coils. Oh joy!!!

Welcome back...

Battery is 'normal' but the 2 pencil coils... were they hard to get replacements for?

you normally find if 1 or 2 coils go, the other 4 will go soon, ( speaking from experience and £300 bill for 6 coils)

Hi Muuray, went to start my one last week, first time since the snow and had a flat battery as well, must be the alarm and clock draining it out. Put in on charge overnight and all seems OK. Look forward to seeing you soon.
