    Can I drop my car round to you then cos this morning I started it up, the temp gauge went sky high and i heard gurgling from under the dash. I'm presuming it's something not good? I pulled over at the end of my road and left it, jumped on a bus to work instead :rotfl:

    Dunno why I'm laughing cos it's prob gonna cost a fortune to fix :eek:



    Good luck to you James, hope you reach your goal very soon - I shall keep my eye on your diary :)
