Think about it from another angle, some of us simply do not have the time or energy of an evening after getting up at half past 5, working all day then spending all evening working on our trucks and getting in the house for dinner at 10 to then go on the comfuser and chat on here. I'm not saying...

Thanks guys, I will give it a go over the weekend, and keep you informed But I was ready to throw the toys out of the pram last night so hopefully a night off tonight to clear my head will be good!

29 hours and not a sniff of any suggestions?

My 90's was running gutlessly since I had it (Buckshot will vouch) So I decided to fleebay a replacement 300tdi engine, it was out of a discovery but the mileage 'was' less than half than what the defenders original had done. Anyway swapped them over, connected everything up over the weekend...

I take it by that then Grippa you've never in your life had a moment of youthful irresponsibility, a model citizen every moment of your life!? One way or another you would never pass 2 vehicle whilst in the ford, I got to the water in **** loads of time before the micra, and was travelling slow...
