Torque Wrench from NETTO £9.99
Hi I meant to post this a few days ago. I have noticed the other day in NETTO a torque wrench for £9.99 but no torque range on the packaging whatsoever. I asked one of their staff about it and, as usual, they knew nothing about it and said they can't open it to see if anything would indicate the range inside. Has anybody…

I'm thinking of buying a stolen car.....
OK, I know that that would be pretty stupid. But it says in the ad that the car was stolen and has now been recovered.

Namely, will it be ok in an 04 PT Cruiser, 2.2 CRD. What difference will it make to performance etc, and how do you tell if its good bio diesel? Just noticed there is a garage near me that sells it, and with OH doing a lot of business miles I wondered if it would be practical. Thank you :D

Points on licence question
Last year in April I was stopped by the police for speeding and given 3 points and a fine of £60. About 6 weeks ago I sent my licence back to the DVLA as I needed to update my address details.
