    Jai, check with the council about the driveway. A freind of mine in Bedford says the council will no longer allow concrete driveways due to drainage issues. A neighbour of his had to dig it all up 2 weeks after laying it. It may/ may not be relevant in your area. Oh and if you are okay to...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll replace the one way valve and see where we go from there. I am so preying its not the head gasket. i have the mot due in feb, and may be tempted to not mot and tax it until it's done, which could end up being the middle of summer....Having no warm garage to do...

    How best to mount winch?

    I suppose I mean the ones that need the grill cut out to mount the winch, rather than have it sticking right out in front, which, from what I've seen (not trying to be an expert, just observations) seems to screw up the approach angle, and just digs in worse than the 'plough' that hangs off the...
