Thanks Kirsty,

Something to look forward too and banish the winter blues.

I'll have 2 13yr olds in tow -will there be any other children ?

Am I right in in thinking that there is still one place left?

If so may I have it? Oh and how long an extension lead would I need for leccy?

Two garages said they couldn't find anything wrong -so the owner has had the underneath steamed and taken it to a third garage, they said that the oil filter hadn't been tightened up,they are going to replace it and she's going to send me some more photos. I was just wondering what DP meant about mu...
