Hi Dean

Of course it is another one.
I was told that with 2.5TD XM's I had to go and get a replacement one every time the MOT runs out.
There is of course another one that I have my eye on for next week.

Hi Dean, Peter

You two are spot on with the problems that go with the habit.

Perhaps I can start to stand the estates on their back end to make better use of the available space. Find a nice big field to park a few different colour ones nose up looking like rockets and I could get an arts council grant to buy more.

I think, in the world of art, they call that an "installation" John

I can see it now: "XMs standing to attention" by xmexclusive..

Turner Prize material possibly...

I can just picture XMs sat like that actually.. they could pass off as rockets no problem too!

There's bound to be some nut (besides us), who would think its art..

An update on the 2.1, I do think the gasket is (-expletive removed-), but as I couldn't get hold of a sniff test yesterday, my cousin's friend is going to check it for me on Monday at his garage, and if the news is bad, he'll be doing the job.

I feel like such a cop out now

, but as I was saying earlier, I just don't have the luxury of time at the moment.

I do think I'll have to follow Peter's advice though, and get a spare one for use in these situations!

Cheers for everyone's input, much appreciated.
