I have been known to work on my Landy here and there. I wiped the windscreen down last week, so I'm learning fast.

Bargaining tools are my speciality, don't you know. ;)
My cakes get put to good use too. I baked one for a friend once and it lasted him ages I'm proud to say. Last time I went round he was using it as a paper weight. :confused:

Hi, sorry if this has already been asked, but I have been told that to repair the oil leak on my 1986 (ish) 90, the engine would have to be removed and the cost would be around £2,000 and perhaps more than the vehicle is worth.

I've paid some guy to clean and wax it while I made endless cups of tea for him in between standing with my arms folded watching him work.:o

Thanks everyone, looks like I'll be having some steamy moments to look forward to.

Can such a steam cleaner be hired?
