Does have a Fcukin stupid BIG tow bar that im embaressed to show  :embarassed:
Apparently towed a caravan once, but i say its got to go  :wink:

First thing i must do is change the addittional water pump as the seals are leaking (purchaseed £91 just got to fit it)

Next the back brakes squeal and had an advisory they were warped, so will change front & rears to drilled & grooved with green pads.

The challenge is to spend £300 a month without the misses noticing the funds being withdrawn and do mod accordingly.  :smiley:
