Re: Lights and Chips

Just cleaned the car and also found that some previous owner **** broke the driver sidelight holder so I can now not get the blown bulb out.

Curses,

I'm off to polish me wheels

Anybody taking a camera?

It was the particulate filter last time and a forced regeneration cycle cleared it at the dealers but its behaving very different this time. Its booked in for wednesday so hopefully they will be able to fix it this time.

Re: Lights and Chips

Well, what an eventful evening, the chippie was spot on, fantastic food and good company, what more can you ask for?

Thanks to Happy Man and Al for sorting it all out I know things didn't go as planned but there's no blame to be placed we still had a good time and it was nice seeing a few familiar faces again and some new ones.

Hope everybody got home okay.

Sean
