I should be ok, head gasket fixed now just need to sort out the starting issue, I think it may be immobiliser based
I would prefer a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

List of stuff for people to do when I arrive :)

1. Wheel bearing to be tightend
2. Fluid Change (maybe not)
3. If someone would like to hoover it out that would be great
4. A wash and wax (thats not been dont for years)
5. Spot lights needs tightening (dannyboy did a half arsed job on them) :D
6. A real fuse to be put it for the spot lights instead of a piece of wire :)


List of things I am praying will not go wrong whilst there

1. Clunking steering rack
2. Clunking suspension
3. and last but not least the engine & gearbox :)
