Though the remote locking wasnt even working the battery was so flat. I hooked up the charger and there wasnt even enough power to light the small bulb on the carger which infroms if the polarity is correct. So i thought it would be goosed. I did the usual checks, tyre pressures, oil, coolent etc and left for for an hour. An hour later the car started up fine. WHich i was amased with as usually when a battery becomes so flat they dont take charge.
I planned to take it for a short run, though i couldnt stop driving it so ended up doing a fair few miles. Though its probably done it some good and the battery is still starting the car fine too. Ive left it in the garage tonight so ill give it some use over the weekend and give it a service too. Thankfully the roads are dry at the moment and ive not seen much salt about on the roads.
Hopefully we will get the tractions bonnet back on this weekend too, as its been away for painting, its now in the back of the Xm estate, so thats not really usable at the moment. The C15 is still in hibernation in a garage, its almost empty now too as all the bits are back on the traction, we had been using it as a shed.

My parents C5 estate has been pressed into daily work for my dads business, while his VW has been having some work done. The C5 has been transporting lots of heavy boxes around. So its doing a good few miles and has an awful lot of weight in. Though its doing it well and still returning 45MPG. The plan is to look for another C5 estate to take over for work use and sell the VW, as the grey estate is a family car. Which my mum said she would have but we have had the C5 estate over 3 months and she is yet to drive it, spoilt by a small car she says the C5 will be hard to park. Mind the turning circle on C5 estates is very bad, i think ocean liners have a tighter lock!
Ive now got my leak fixed on my C5 and some other bits done to it. Its not proving that reliable as ive had to use the other C5 for a while while this one was having issues. Though for the second its working

The 52 C5 is still going as strong as ever, now with 120K and its faultless, i never have to do anything with this car, unlike my VTR. I got some new tyres on it last week and thats it, some more Goodyears, seem brilliant tyres, far better than its previous michelins.
Not a very interesting post, but never the less
