    This is going to make you sick, but my old Peugeot 406 still had all electrics (windows, sunroof, mirrors, seats) working at the passing of its majority. Not something I thought I'd ever say that about any Pug.

    Sadly it's gone now, but I miss it.

    A garage owner in Fleet told me he did a steady trade in fixing VW wiring looms. Not a lot of sea air in Fleet

    No I will give this to my mechanic who will in turn do me multiple goods in future as he has previously when I gave him the Polo

    Saab - I dare not. Would love a 95 Aero 2.3 Auto Estate but I need 4x4 and some ground clearance.
    I need a higher seat to help my backpain and yes ladies and gentlemen it will be a Japanese model

    These are normal cars for me. Don't know what you are complaining about. I also have a bottle of coolant in the boot. For the car that is.
