You could of course withdraw ALL favours until she gives in.

I have tried doing that before, it doesn't seem to work as she always manages to withdraw those special favours. if you know what I mean...

She has now hidden the keys, tells me she is using it again tomorrow to go shopping.

Went to see Phil-T4 in Milton Keynes today, to get the SRS ECU replaced, to see if we can get rid of occasion air bag warning light!

All the error codes were gone after fitting, so fingers crossed!

Got my rescued 75 to my mates garage today and he fitted my new (BMW) rear brake pads, a new rear tyre and a gave her a much needed brake fluid change

Then went for a drive to bed the brakes in
