3x dizzys, 3x starters, 2x alternators and lots of plastic and rubber bits that I thought were loss. :)

Thats always use full, I'm spent yesterday, removing the door rubbers, and checking for any cracks. Then I tested them for leaks..... It doesn't leak! The rear windows do but thats because rover cut the seals 2 inches to small.

You borrow £1 and pay back £3 and you can forget nice holidays for at least the next 5 years. LOL

Haha that isn't a problem! On the house I'm looking at it will be £350pm, which is much cheaper than renting in this area plus I will actually be paying money to own something. Nice semi-detatched with garden and garage, 3 bedroom and whatnot. Would hopefully have a good lifeline ^_^ plus being as it's a buyers market and the estate agents have said they can go down on the price is even better!

WOW that is cheap. Well done.
