Hmmmm, is it the grey one?... I got one, it's been on my car for way longer and its fine... must have got a duffer.  As DH said, take it back and kick off!

= rockin horse poo with hens teeth in it. They either too small, too big or too expensive. I'm hunting for one too. There's a gap in the garages near me where one was demolished and I keep thinking that if I were to put up a garage in the night would anybody actually notice/ care? :grin:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
