Only "a while longer" - not for ever? I still have cars I bought in 1983, 1987 and 1990. The Rover SD1 V8S has certainly tested my patience, but I still cannot sell her.

Banana will never be sold while I own her. She is in my will and a fellow forum member will inherit her. Plus the Bear is also going to another forum member.

Nothing worse than niggly little faults lie a dodgy relay.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
