Morning all, proper taters here with a hard frost but sunny, I'm glad I planted all those seedlings out last week after telling myself I don't think we'll get any more frosts

Says faulty anti pollution on the console, but that could be any manner of things. Going to change the oil and filters in the morning, including the fuel one. I still owe money on a loan used to buy the p0xy thing, and there are a couple of things that will need doing for the mot in April, but the cam belt and water pump need changing in March as its 10 years old. The work that needs doing, along with the belts will cost me c £500 parts and labour, I have some money due to me from my aunt's estate but can't wait that long. I refuse to spend any more on this heap, so going to wash and hoover it then go to webuyanycar. They have offered me an online price subject to a visual inspection, which I know will reduce the price, but at least I will have cash to almost pay off the existing loan and start a new finance agreement on a much newer van, then pay it off as soon as I get my inheritance. I can't be doing with unreliable vehicles any more, I just want something that works, as its my livelihood that's at stake if I don't have a reliable vehicle.

Wow. Sorry to hear that Rich.--Have you ever thought to buy at a car auction ?---I've bought all the family transport at auctions for well over 40 years now and have yet to buy a dud.

This includes my current R75 that has been just about trouble free for13 years in my hands. A water leak, two bulbs and the lower arm on the front suspension and that's the lot.---

Morning men - a late loiterer has arrived

A bit of a frost last night, followed by a bright, cold morning with the sun trying to get up above the North Yorks Moors.
Forecast for tonight is for a sharp frost - I may need to get the horsehair blanket out

You might need to tie that blanket down with those really high wind speeds forecast for later in the week.---

Oh! You are such a wit, she has just decided to have a new Laminate floor in the living room, another £1500 quid with no much as by your leave.

I'm afraid there are other reasons to tie the bedclothes down in my house

Stunning scenery, which will be explored mor this year. Out to dinner tonight and away for the weekend up in Warwickshire, so yes getting back to normal at a slow pace.

I trust you and Jessica are well (ish!).

Not a chance John, I need something that has a warranty now as my days of messing on with vehicles are rapidly coming to an end now.
