    Poor Wayne spent most of the day UNDER my car, but I think in this picture you can see him in the boot of his VAG, no doubt trying to find the oil leak !

    Only a few small (and very cheap) things to do now I have brakes and two working headlight wipers/washers, mainly cleaning things (mudflaps etc) and tidying up under the bonnet, then hopefully off down to see M-R-P for a good rubbing (polishing) session before Haynes.

    Nice to read that your nearly reaching the end Graham, the trouble is if your anything like me you will always find something else mate lol

    How do your new brakes feel? Give us some feedback when they have bedded in.

    BTW, your car really does look mint mate, one of the best examples in the country
